And for AEW, Big Swole has been granted a release (thank god).

Is that the same guy that used to be in that No Limit group in WCW back in the day?

If you're referring to Big Swole, he is actually a she

More AEW departures with "Pretty" Peter Avalon & Lio Rush's contracts not being renewed. Brian Cage, Marko Stunt & Joey Janela also have deals nearing the end.

Shane McMahon was released from WWE after the Royal Rumble. Yes, you read that right.

Add Cody & Brandi Rhodes out of AEW.

Another contract that has run its course - Antonio Cesaro's deal with WWE is finished.

Hearing that Brian Cage's contract will be renewed for a year.

Quite glad if Stunt goes, he actually put me off watching. Rush surely is running out of promotions to go to? Seems wherever he goes, it's never for long.

Cesaro is a huge loss for the WWE. It's actually incredibly disappointing that he never got the booking he deserved. He was entertaining, a great worker, safe pair of hands, can be funny, can be serious, can work as a heel or a face. Man should have a go with the title!
Not sure where he will go, but I hope he gets booked better!

If Rhodes goes to wwe hope they don’t book him as a main eventer
he should be chasing the 24/7 title can’t stand him

Bordeaux & Kai are probably the biggest surprises. Bordeaux got an absolute ton of press on signing, but once WWE signed Gabel Steveson he fell off the face of the planet and became Joe Gacy's second. Kai was involved in storylines until this week.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

I'd expect Stokely Hathaway to end up in AEW. Shaw will probably be in the NWA as he is very close friends with Nick Aldis. The rest is a crapshoot.

Mandy Rose released

that couple of thousand she was making for nudes ain’t worth it now

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Wait, what? (the nudes, not the release)

Mandy Rose released

that couple of thousand she was making for nudes ain’t worth it now

She made $1,500,000 in the first 24 hours following her departure - and that alone is much more than she would've made in her entire wrestling career.

CM Punk fired by AEW.

CM Punk fired by AEW.

Reckon he’s done or does he come back to WWE? Personally I think a wwe return would be cool but I can’t see him going there, if the millionaire who should be a billionaire is gone, then it’s being run by his idiotic daughter and doofus son in law. I think we’ve probably seen the last of punk in wrestling, aside from one off appearances.

I was surprised that TK gave Punk a second chance after Brawl Out. Obviously he did everything he could to make it work, even giving Punk his own show but the situation was untenable.

I would love to see the footage to see exactly what they meant by 'lunge'. Supposedly Punk did something worse than lunging at Tony Khan which made Tony fear for his life. If Punk tried to hit a suicide dive on me, I'd be fearing more for him than myself, still I'd bet that Punk just got into his face after the scuffle with Jungle Boy.

It's been a strange couple of years. On the plus side he did give MJF a nice rub and now he's the biggest star in the company. However the company has basically been on pause ever since he shattered his foot and while the show has been solid, it's never felt like it's firing on all cylinders.

All Out 2023 is a good example. In the end the wrestler's got the fans to care through their performances, but the build up was largely lackluster and didn't really make you care about the matches or where certain guys were going in their careers. Hopefully now that they don't have to work around Punk, they can put on the best show possible instead of constantly compromising their product.
