The current situation regarding releases in WWE is an interesting one, as any superstar released by the company could join AEW. This has resulted in WWE changing their release policy.
According to a report by Brad Shepard, WWE has no rule where they cannot fire talent. While they can still release them, they have to be more selective about the ones they let go.
A source in #WWE also clarified a rumor from an obscure dirtsheet about a “no fire rule” in the company. The source said there isn’t an official “no fire rule,” they’re simply playing it strategic for now. They noted some people will be let go within the next six months or so.
So it seems that WWE plans on releasing more talent, but it will not very soon. We will keep you updated regarding WWE releases once we learn more.
