With the conclusion of the classic WrestleMania 42, which became an instant wrestling sensation, WWE has now kicked off its post-WrestleMania shakeup.
With the WrestleMania shake-up underway, most of the big names are already among the first cut.
The company began releases on Friday, April 24, less than a week after a lively event held in Las Vegas.
As a reminder, WWE releases wrestlers on an annual basis, with the last release occurring in February 2025.
According to media reports, a number of big names have been fired or decided to step down themselves.
The list includes former champions and people who were just in the ring last month.

However, one of the major releases involves all members of the Wyatt Sicks.
