Mass roster cuts recently came down upon WWE roster just days after over a hundred employees were laid off by the company following the takeover by Endeavor. This latest round of cuts in the company caused frustration on the roster according to one report for a few reasons. Many of those released weren’t being booked in recent months so had no way to change their situation while there is also the question of timing.

It has been noted that following the completion of the merger with UFC under TKO Group Holdings, WWE released over 20 talents from the roster, including veterans like Dolph Ziggler and Shelton Benjamin. The likes of Mustafa Ali, Riddick Moss, Emma, and Elias were also fired by the organisation.
