Over the past few years, WWE has consistently trimmed its roster after WrestleMania. Last year saw names like Braun Strowman, Sonya Deville, and Cedric Alexander released. This year’s list included Kairi Sane, Aleister Black, Zelina, Uncle Howdy, Nikki Cross, Santos Escobar, Motor City Machine Guns, Dexter Lumis, Apollo Crews, and more. The pattern suggests WWE views these cuts as routine business.
