Shelton Benjamin has exposed a false rumor that himself, Elias, Shayna Baszler, Aliyah, and Cedric Alexander have been released by WWE.
I have not been released from WWE. I obviously don’t know where this false report started (probably @MiaYim )but for those that cared thank you but at this time your concerns are premature.

No, WWE has not released Shayna, Cedric, Elias, Aaliyah, and Shelton. It’s a fake pic out there.

One big name that got his WWE release last year was ‘The Nature Boy’ and 16-time world’s wrestling champion Ric Flair. The two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is one of the most controversial figures in the pro-wrestling business. He has made the headlines for debatable reasons during his illustrious career. ‘The Nature Boy’ recently responded to his critics by looking back at a Tweet sent out by the WWE Chairman Vince McMahon in 2017.
Vince McMahon sheds praise on Ric Flair
Flair recently highlighted McMahon’s praise for him back in 2017. Vince McMahon had praised Ric Flair noting an ESPN ’30 for 30′ documentary episode about ‘The Nature Boy.’

Flair also recently spoke about The Undertaker’s long-awaited induction into the WWE Hall of Fame will finally happen this year in Dallas, Texas, on Friday, April 1. It was also announced by McMahon himself that he is set to induct his real-life friend.
Flair recently said on his Wooooo Nation Uncensored podcast that he wouldn’t be surprised if the WWE Chairman tears up a little during his speech.
“Vince can articulate and do things that make everything just sound amazing. I’m sure the induction speech, he’ll work on it. Ninety percent of it will be from the heart. I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t break down a little bit because ‘Taker has meant that much to him and meant that much to the business.”
Following the Hall of Fame event, the fans will be part of ‘two-most stupendous nights’ in WWE history as WWE’s WrestleMania 38 Premium Live Event will take place on Saturday, April 2, and Sunday, April 3 from AT& T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
