WWE released a list of talent today, and there is a lot to unpack. That being said, we have more information on the situation.

Click here for complete list of WWE Superstars that the company released today.

Sean Sapp noted behind Fightful’s paywall that Mustafa Ali asked for his release in 2021. He was taken off television, but that release request was rejected. His deal was set to run up in the Spring or September of 2024. Nobody in NXT had any idea that he was on his way out, either.

Mustafa Ali had asked for his WWE release back in 2021, but it was quickly rejected, and he was taken off of TV. We’re told that as things stood, his WWE deal was up in the Spring/Summer of 2024. Those that we spoke to in NXT had no knowledge that he was going to be released, and noted that he’d even worked through an injury to make his NXT run happen.

Mustafa Ali wasn’t the only WWE Superstar who lost their job today. Emma was released today as well. Riddick Moss later joined his fiancé in free agency.

It was later reported that Rick Boogs was released from his contract. Sadly, Aliyah’s name joined that list later. It didn’t take long for fans to hear about Elias’ release. Top Dolla’s name joined those releases as well. Then Dolph Ziggler’s name was revealed, which even shocked John Cena.
