As you likely have heard by now, 8 WWE Stars were released from their contracts on Friday May 6th 2016. The list of WWE releases was headlined by Damien Sandow and Wade Barrett. It also included Hornswoggle, El Torito, Zeb Colter, Cameron, Santino Marella and Alex Riley.
Some of these came with some outrage (Damien Sandow) and others were met with “He was still working for the WWE??” comments. It appears that the WWE might not be finished with their spring cleaning of some of their WWE contracts.
With the influx of NXT stars making their debuts over the past couple months, more and more established WWE stars could be getting the axe to make room for them.
So will we see more?

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, many within the WWE feel that there are a couple more releases coming before the end of May. It is not clear who the names are but it is our job to speculate.
Ryback is one of the most likely candidates to be released as you probably have heard about his contract dispute with the WWE right now. As we posted earlier, a lot of Ryback’s items on WWE Shop have been put on sale, making it likely that they are letting his contract run out and cutting ties with him.
It is also rumored that a female talent was going to be released until Cameron made her statement supporting Ryback, leading to her dismissal. This is only a rumor but if true than there is still a WWE female on the chopping block.

Let us know what you think of all this and who you think could be released by the WWE next???? Leave us a comment below and let us know what you think!
In my opinion I see Ryback and Jack Swagger being released and if I had had to guess which diva might get released I’m thinking Rosa Mendes
