WWE have released Braun Strowman, Aleister Black, Lana, Ruby Riott, Santana Garrett, and Buddy Murphy. The reason cited was part of budget cuts, and Strowman was being paid $1.2 million per year according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The former WWE Universal Champion signed a new contract in October 2019, so the budget cut regarding Strowman is the WWE’s biggest saving financially from all of the talent cuts in the last year plus during the pandemic. Braun Strowman was fired by WWE for a very surprising reason as well.
Previously, more details regarding WWE’s decision to release Braun Strowman from his contract had been revealed. Braun Strowman’s contract definitely played a role in him getting fired. On top of that, Braun Strowman was viewed as an ‘obsolete’ WWE Superstar and ‘two years past his prime.
That was only just the beginning as WWE continued to release several Superstars in the past few months. Their latest set of releases included the likes of Keith Lee, Karrion Kross, Ember Moon, Mia Yim and Nia Jax.
Nia Jax recently held a Q&A session on Instagram and was asked how scripted Total Divas was. Nia Jax revealed that it was mostly scripted, saying 98% of it was scripted.
When a fan asked if she was going to start an Only Fans page, she answered, “Ummm.”
Jax also revealed her post wrestling plans, as she has stated that she is retired. She said she is “starting a business. Growing some cool things on my farm.”
A fan also asked about possibly doing Renee Paquette’s podcast Oral Sessions, and Jax seemed ready when she answered, “Yes!!! I’m definitely going to spill some tea with my girl @ReneePaquette.”
Jax was asked how her knees are doing: “Soooo good! Definitely a work in progress, but haven’t felt this good in years! Highly suggest @KneesOverToesGuy for helping rehabbing.”
We will have to see what Nia Jax will do next.
