WWE released more talent. By now, it’s not surprising anymore when one fine day the company releases several Superstars at the same time. This time the company released Ashante Adonis, Drake Maverick, Isaiah Swerve Scott, Jaxson Ryker, John Morrison, Shane Thorne, Tegan Nox, and Top Dolla.
It is quite frustrating for the talent, considering some times these releases come out of the blue. While they get paid for the entire period of the non-compete clause, it still makes it difficult for the talent to sit idle for as long as three months.
Moreover, it’s frustrating for others as well. One such former Superstars who reacted to the recent string of releases is John Morrison’s wife, Taya Valkyrie. S

he believes the company has failed to show any sort of consideration for the employees or the talents, and the fans should really consider switching to another promotion to truly enjoy pro-wrestling.
Stop supporting a company that has ZERO respect for their talent. You love pro wrestling, spend your money on the hundreds of other alternatives. This is wrong. Ethically, as employers they don’t care about us. Talent or fans.

This isn’t the first time that a former Superstar has reacted to WWE releasing several at the same time. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the first. This won’t be the last.

John Morrison was a rather surprise release
It’ll be unfair to say John Morrison wasn’t on WWE Television before his release. It may not have been in the last few weeks, but he was making constant appearances with The Miz.
In fact, he was working in storylines which involved current champions such as Damian Priest, the current United States Champion. Moreover, this storyline involved Rapper Bad Bunny.
Therefore, to claim that there wasn’t a storyline or a spot available for a Superstar who worked with a celebrity appearance doesn’t quite add up. But, the company hasn’t given a reason for these releases, but it’s usually not having a storyline for them or because of budget cuts.
It’s unknown what the reason will be this time.
Prior to this string of releases, WWE released Superstars such as Keith Lee, Nia Jax, and several others. Considering Lee was released right after the company changed, his entire character was extremely disheartening for his fans.

No one quite got to enjoy his new character the way some expected to.
Nevertheless, the WWE Universe always wants released Superstars to bounce back stronger after the non-compete clause ends. This will definitely be the case for John Morrison, Tegan Nox, and everyone else released!
