WWE released another batch of Superstars on Wednesday, this time comprised of Braun Strowman, Aleister Black, Ruby Riott, Lana, Santana Garrett and Buddy Murphy.

WWE fans quickly took to social media to give their reactions, which you can see in the list below.

Confused Identity

I honestly don't even know who WWE is for anymore. Look at the people they released - Black, Braun, Joe, Murphy - a range of guys you should be able to make stars of for different reasons.

WWE is a place where you wait around and desperately hope to get over by attrition now.

Insanity

Braun Strowman was just in a WWE Championship match having wrestled Shane McMahon at WrestleMania.

Aleister Black just returned with some of the most well-produced vignettes we’ve seen in recent years.

A lot of money been put into both men. Insane to see them released!
