WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H has overseen several talent releases, including Blair Davenport, Isla Dawn, Elektra Lopez, Cedric Alexander, Giovanni Vinci, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson from both the main roster and NXT.
According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Anderson’s release has drawn particular attention since he recently underwent rotator cuff surgery and had confirmed his absence from WrestleMania 41 due to the procedure.
The decision marks a departure from WWE’s traditional practice of retaining talent during injury recovery periods.
This shift in approach recalls a similar situation from 2022 when WWE released Flash Morgan Webster during his injury recovery period, as documented by Inside The Ropes at the time.
