WWE Releases Multiple Superstars – Key Names Include Braun Strowman and Dakota Kai
WWE has reportedly released a wave of talent, with some high-profile names in the mix. According to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp and confirmations from wrestlers themselves, the following names are no longer with WWE:
Notable Releases:
Braun Strowman – Former Universal Champion, recently active in a feud with Jacob Fatu. Returned in 2022 after being released in 2021.
Dakota Kai – Competed in WWE’s first Women’s Intercontinental title match.
Shayna Baszler – Veteran of both NXT and main roster, consistently in the mix for women’s titles.
Gigi Dolan – Former NXT Women’s Tag Champ.
Katana Chance & Kayden Carter – Regular tag team, recently involved in WrestleMania 41 build-up.
Also Confirmed Released:
- Jakara Jackson
- Javier Bernal
- Oro Mensah
- Wolfgang
- Mark Coffey
- Joe Coffey
- Cora Jade
- Eddy Thorpe
- Riley Osborne
More releases are reportedly on the way.
What This Means
WWE may be reshaping its roster post-WrestleMania 41, possibly trimming costs or clearing room for new signings.
The inclusion of active or recently pushed stars (Strowman, Kai, Chance/Carter) is surprising and may signal creative realignment.
Some names (like Cora Jade) had been off TV, possibly due to injury or developmental reset.
