 What's good Josh Boros back again with another video? So we got some unfortunate news for several talent in WWE. The rumors had been circulating when WWE merged with Endeavoring. And the whole UFC whole merger conglomerate was being created. The rumors were that there were gonna be some individuals that were gonna get released from WWE. And today some of these individuals have been released and we're gonna talk about it. We're gonna be reading it from thecomicbook.com. There's many sources talking about it. You guys have hit me up personally on Instagram and in the Discord saying I need to talk about it. So we're gonna get right into this one right here. Following the company's sale of Endeavor and a merger with UFC under TKO group holdings, WWE has began cutting talent. Going into the merger belief around the industry was that the majority of these talent cuts would be from corporate offices. Would be from corporate offices. As the merger with UFC will lead to a number of duplicate roles and variety of employees exited WWE following the merger may being made official earlier this month. Beginning of Thursday, September 21st, WWE is now cutting talent from its own screen roster. This is the first time that WWE is releasing talent in mass capacity since in and around the pandemic era. WWE releases multiple superstars following the UFC merger. WWE has begun talent cuts. WWE NXT star Mustafa Ali is no longer with WWE. Ali shared the news on his Twitter. Ali spent seven years in WWE and was scheduled to wrestle Dominic Mysterio for the NXT North American Championship next Saturday, September 30th at NXT No Mercy. Which is kind of wild that they let him go even though they have been promoting him having a match against Dominic. This is from his official Twitter. I am no longer working with WWE. I think he meant to say I am no longer working with WWE. I look forward to the future. Thank you, a deal. WWE SmackDown star Emma took to social media to confirm her release. Emma had just returned to WWE in summer of 2022 and had previously competed for the company from 2011 all the way to 2017. Which is kind of crazy because I didn't really see her on television that much even after she returned. So oops, never mind, I got released. I am no longer with WWE. Apparently they just announced the elimination chamber will be in Perth Saturday, February 24th, 2024, Opus Stadium Western Australia. So she won't even be there at the show. It's gonna be in Australia and she actually tweeted a dream at WWE and now she's not even gonna be a part of that. So the fact that elimination chamber is coming in Australia is crazy. But she won't be involved in that. So that kind of sucks. WWE SmackDown star Riddick Moss has also been released from WWE. Moss has been signed to WWE since 2014 and he spent the majority of his time in NXT. He had one big main roster storyline along with Corbin from 2021 until 2022. Also, Aliyah was released as well as of today. I'm no longer part of WWE. WWE SmackDown star Rick Boogs has been released from WWE. Like Moss, Boog spent most of his time in NXT before getting called up to the main roster to tag which since the Nakamura Boogs had a brief tag. Team Story Learn with LA Knight earlier this year. WWE SmackDown star Aliyah has been released by WWE have been with WWE. Have been with WWE since 2015 and recently found success in the women's tag division when in WWE women's tag title with Raquel Rodriguez in the fall. And that didn't go anywhere. Pre-agent Elias has been released by WWE. Elias has spent nine years in WWE with and recently ran a storyline where he portrayed his character canonically. Brother Ezekiel, which was that was a whole cringe fest in the half. I remember that, unfortunately, him having a twin brother. Boy, that definitely didn't go nowhere. I'm proud to Kevin Owens making that storyline somewhat even more entertaining because he was the only one that had the brain on the roster. Like that's not real. He doesn't have a twin brother. What's going on here? From drifting onto the scene to wrestling to WrestleMania with John Cena and Undertaker to millions around the world, a world for years, walking with Elias, a number one iTunes album and to being my own younger brother's seat while traveling the world. It's been a blast. God is good. Seems like he's in good spirits. I mean, they weren't really doing nothing with Elias anyway either. WWE SmackDown star Top Dollar has been released by WWE. Top Dollar was one third of Hit Row and largely worked as an enhancement talent since he returned to the company last year. Yep, Top Dollar aka Flop Dollar is no longer part of the WWE roster. And Sheldon Benjamin has been released by WWE Benjamin was part of the historic OVW rookie class that included Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Randy Orton and Batista Benjamin wrestled from WWE from 2000 until 2010. And he began his second stint in the company in 2017. He found success in a fan favorite faction, the Hurt Business in 2020. Which they just disbanded and really didn't do nothing with them afterwards. I have been released from my WWE contract. I think WWE staff talent and of course the fans for everything. Something ends, something new begins, looking forward to my next chapter. And probably one of the most shocking ones, the veteran star Dolph Ziggler has been released by WWE. This ends a near two decade run with Ziggler in WWE as he has spent his entire professional wrestling career with the company. Ziggler's brother, AEW star Ryan Nemeth, fuel speculation that he could be all elite earlier this week. Story is still developing. Well, we kind of saw this coming. I'm really surprised out of everyone, everyone knows it kind of made sense. They weren't even really using these individuals on television except Mustafa. They already set up a potential program. They already put them on the fire and everything for his match with Dominic coming up, but they decided to release him. So that was kind of wild. I was surprising and the Dolph Ziggler one was definitely surprising. Once again, they weren't really doing much with him. But at the same time, I was not expecting them to release him either. So I don't know, man. It's one of those things where a lot of these individuals outside of Mustafa who literally was about to have a match with Dominic for the NXT North American Championship next week and then them promoting it. Outside of him, everyone else and Dolph Ziggler, everyone else, it kind of made sense. You know what I'm saying? Everyone else, it kind of makes sense. Once again, Mustafa, that's still weird. It's NXT No Mercy. It's literally next week. Let me double check. As of me filming this, I'm filming this on the 21st. Yes, it's next Saturday and they released him before then. That's crazy. So, but like I said, most of these names outside of Mustafa and Dolph, it made sense that they were going to release them because they weren't doing nothing with them. They weren't. And it sucks, but they weren't doing nothing with a lot of these individuals on this list. I'm not a big, you know, I'm not a fan of anybody losing their job. Like, no, I understand how it feels to be let go. You know what I'm saying? Well, you know, just whatever the circumstance may be. You know, they just decide to, you know, save on the budget and cut you in the process. I've been on that side of the fence before, so it sucks. But I think some of these individuals probably knew, you know, it was coming. And it seemed like some of them didn't. Like, what's the name? It seemed like Emma, she didn't know this was happening. She seemed like she was happy that Elimination Chamber was coming to Australia and then the next thing, you know, she's not even in the company. So she didn't even know that was going to even happen. So some of these individuals probably didn't know. And then some of them kind of knew the writing was on the wall. And once this merger happened, they were probably going to be on a chopping block. So I'm wishing nothing but success for all these individuals going forward. And we'll see how things pan out for them. I'm sure this is probably not the only round of cuts that WWE will be making to the day-to-day onscreen roster. So we'll see how those things will pan out, man. But comment down below. Let me know. Did any of these names shock you? The only name that really shocked me the most is Mustafa because they had a match form and Dolph Ziggler. I was not expecting them to let go of Dolph Ziggler after he's been there for so long. So comment down below. Let me know which one of these names really shocked you that was, you know, released today by WWE. I appreciate all of the support. Guys, Sean O'Channel wrote to us. 50K, now I'm still here to speak to you to rest on Champion of the World. Appreciate you all hearing me say our next one. Peace.
