WWE’s released another six Superstars on Wednesday morning. The moves not only removed a former world champion (Braun Strowman) and former NXT Champion with a brand-new persona (Aleister Black) but continued to deplete the SmackDown Women’s Division and WWE‘s overall Women’s Tag Team Division (Ruby Riott and Lana). Wrestlers from both in and out of WWE quickly took to social media to give their reactions, with many of them frustrated overseeing their friends lose their jobs. You can see some of the reactions in the list below.

What do you think of all the releases WWE has made in the past few months? Do you buy the growing theory that all this cost-cutting might be setting WWE up for a sale to a bigger corporation? Let us know in the comments below!
Black Responds
Im gathering my thoughts as this was a complete left field for me as obviously we just started the dark father character but this was it, thank you so much WWE universe for allowing me to create and give you small bits of myself.

Lana Thanks Everyone
I will never forget the fans, and the love they showed me. Whether it was a tank, power-suits, flags, CRUSH, Rusev, 900 partners, weddings or tables: I tried to always entertain you, and you definitely elevated me. Thank you. pic.twitter.com/n7W5i5KAMI
