Another collection of talent is about to hit wrestling’s free-agent market.
WWE released more than a dozen performers on Thursday, ranging from those who consistently appeared on television to a handful of talents recently signed to relatively new deals. An especially high number of the women and men released had been signed under the direction of Paul “Triple H” Levesque. A WWE executive and former leader of NXT, Levesque is currently away from his post while he recovers from a September surgery that followed what WWE described as a “cardiac event” stemming from a genetic heart issue.
