As reported by The Times, 79-year-old Alfred Mancinelli, who died last summer, was conned out of $1 million, including his granddaughter’s college fund, by the fake Bliss and others. The story states that Mancinelli thought he was in a romantic relationship with the former women’s champion. When Mancinelli’s son, Chris, tried moving his father’s last $100,000 to a safe account, his father sued him.

“There was nothing we could do to convince him,” Chris told The Times.

Earlier this year, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce issued a message to fans on X regarding such hoaxes. Said Pearce, “If you have given money online to the likes of “Jay Usso”, “Seth Rollens”, etc., I feel for you. I’m sorry that you got duped, but I can’t help. Whatever job duties you believe I have, police work isn’t one of them. Don’t give strangers money online. This has been an AP PSA.”
People really stupid out there.

Not surprised by Tegan, I forgot she was even on the roster

Her knees cooked but she got a passionate fan base who gone be mad if it was a release and not her contract expiring

they were mad she wasnt being booked on RAW a few months ago as if she doesnt mess her knee up everytime they throw her a bone

Thikkita on NXT is in the exact same boat. might as well cut her while they trimming fat too
 
What's the point of the belts then?

those saudis just like blowing money and WWE of course gonna let em

who the hell would that big ass belt even fit around if they were gonna use it or how would they carry it. They been having 3 mfs tote it around in a case every week on tv just to show it off

Baron Corbin, Tegan Nox and Indi Hartwell are leaving WWE.

Corbin was informed that his deal would not be extended, with internal speculation being that his deal runs until the end of the year. Numerous indie bookers already asked Fightful when he'd be available, with one top booker saying they hoped he would continue his wrestling career. Corbin told Fightful recently he initially wasn't sold on teaming with Apollo Crews despite liking him, because he didn't feel they could top the Lone Wolfs. Corbin has rarely been used on WWE TV throughout the year, but has been a regular backstage at Smackdown and worked a number of dark matches. Baron Corbin was even at the Netflix shoot on October 27.

Tegan Nox was released, and will have a 90 day non compete that will see her eligible to wrestle elsewhere at the start of February 2025, as will Indi Hartwell. Nox had not been on WWE TV in over six months, and hadn't been booked for dark matches or live events in months. We'd heard of no extended creative plans for quite some time, although she was occasionally at Smackdown tapings.

Indi Hartwell's was the most unexpected of the group, and has a match on tonight's Smackdown that was taped last week. When asking for reactions, several staff and talent felt she was coming into her own with social media skits of late.

For those asking, Indi's "wait what" tweet was a rib. She didn't find out about it on social media. Fightful hasn't and won't report on releases unless a talent knows about it already, and rarely if ever would find out before anyway. Contrary to tweets going around saying that Dijak once claimed in an interview that talent usually find out via social media, that isn't true. He said OTHER talent finds out about who is released via social media.

Nox and Indi will also likely need to have their visa situation sorted out to continue wrestling in the U.S., but we've not confirmed that.

We weren't told of any reasons given to talent about the cuts. Talent were informed on November 1.

For those asking, the internal claim was that this was the extent of this round of cuts. We're not sure the time frame on that phrasing.
