As previously reported, WWE released Cedric Alexander, Authors of Pain, Paul Ellering, Blair Davenport and Sonya Deville.
Fightful Select has provided some details on a few of the releases.
AEW sources anticipate that the Hurt Syndicate may advocate for for signing Cedric Alexander, once he is a free agent in 90 days.
As it pertains to Authors of Pain and Paul Ellering, there were no long-term creative plans for them. There are a few sources that suggested Authors of pain had some industry heat due to their outside business dealings, which may have influenced how they had been booked, or lack thereof.
Regarding Blair Davenport, WWE had no creative direction for her after she had been called up to the main roster call-up. It was added that she is expected to garner interest from other promotions.
