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.
After that, they also released Bray Wyatt and more NXT Superstars such as Bronson Reed and Bobby Fish. Now NXT is set to undergo a massive change including a new logo and Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard will be taking charge of the black and gold brand.
On the other hand, Monday Night RAW continues to be a badly booked show for many fans. Nikki ASH and Tamina Snuka faced off against each other in a match on this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW. However, the match did not go the way as it was intended to. ASH hit a tornado DDT and then went for the pin, but Tamina kicked out just as the referee counted to three.
Unfortunately, Tamina’s music played instead and the ring announcer announced she won the match. The commentary team had to rectify the error during the commercial break and announce ASH as the winner.
