Official Wrestling News Thread

WWE conducted releases last week, with us finding out about another one on April 22.

Fightful Select confirmed that Von Wagner was released, after spending five years in WWE.

Fightful followed up about the main roster status of Von Wagner at the end of the year after the longtime NXT talent was included in the WWE main roster draft last year. In the draft, Wagner was included in the pool, but listed as a free agent, only to quickly return to NXT.

Wagner competed in one main roster match – a top contender battle royal in May, and then immediately returned back to NXT where he’s remained. We’re told that there had been no main roster plans for Wagner in that time, at no fault of his own. Xyon Quinn also competed in that match, and didn't appear in NXT or the main roster until a squash loss to Bron Breakker in March.

Wagner had gotten looks ahead of WWE Raw on Main Event numerous times at the end of 2023, both times facing NXT talent.

We're told that there were never any significant creative plans on the main roster for either man. It was also reiterated to us by WWE sources that all of the releases that occurred were talent who had been with WWE for 5+ years, and felt that the trajectory of the talents didn't match the experience level in the company in many cases.


Let's be honest...bruh had NO personality. No charisma. His promos was wack. They should've enrolled him in acting school. They tried to give him some sorta sympathy when he feuded wit Bron. But even that didn't help.

Hopefully he goes and develop his craft. Maybe hit the indie scene to help him get better.

WWE is retaining a big name and a former Universal Champion.

Finn Balor posted on X Monday, "I would like to take this moment to say thank you to WWE for 10 incredible years. And after much thought and consideration , I have decided that now is the right time to say ‘I ain’t going nowhere!"

Fightful had heard Monday that Balor was expected to stay with WWE, and was expected to sign a long-term contract extension with the company, if he'd not already. Balor's deal was set to be up within the next couple of months.

We're told that WWE was looking to sign Balor to a multi-year, big money offer. It was expected that he would have major interest outside of the company, and that specifically AEW is looking to sign potential free agents this Summer. His name was on their list of talent they were keeping an eye on.
 
Finn is an interesting situation. I feel like he's the most bipolar booked person on the roster. I swear he's either a main event jobber or a champion; Never anything in-between.

I wondered if he would re-signed since he's booked so odd. At any moment he could suddenly be the top guy though. I'm glad he doesn't seem bothered by the booking and sees the long term possibilities.
