WWE Releases Over One Dozen Superstars
May 3, 2025WWE has made a new round of roster cuts.
On Thursday, we first learned that up to 15 staffers were let go by WWE, including Christine Lubrano. It was then reported on Friday that Ryan Pappolo, most known for his time on WWE’s The Bump, was also let go by the company. Then, Friday night word started coming out regarding roster cuts.
When names started coming out regarding the releases, we got five names from the main roster. Those names included Kayden Carter, Katana Chance, Dakota Kai, Braun Strowman, and Shayna Baszler. Cora Jade and Eddy Thorpe then took to social media to reveal that they had both been released as well.

Now as you see above in the photo posted by Cora Jade, it talks about how they got a lot of free time on “our” hands, and Riley Osborne was seen in the photo with Jade and Bea Priestley, who was also recently released. It was reported later that Osborne had been in fact released by WWE.
More NXT names were reported throughout the evening, including Gigi Dolin, Jakara Jackson, Gallus(Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, & Wolfgang), Oro Mensa, and Javier Bernal.
As far as the talent releases do go, 15 names in total were reported and we have not heard of any other talent being let go by the company. If we do hear anything further on WWE releases and the future of those released this week, we will have it here and on the PWUnlimited YouTube Channel.
