Trick Williams Admits He Hates WWE Releases After Post-WrestleMania Cuts

Trick Williams is now adding his voice to the fallout from WWE’s latest wave of releases—and his reaction makes it clear the situation is hitting hard behind the scenes.

During an Instagram Live session on April 26, 2026, Williams was asked directly about Apollo Crews being let go as part of the recent cuts, where 25 WWE stars were released. Instead of diving into specifics, he kept his response honest and emotional, focusing on the bigger picture as he made it clear he hates all releases in general.

“Apollo Crews, man—I can’t comment on it. I hate that—all these releases, I hate that. All the brothers and sisters leaving.”

Williams didn’t get into specifics, but the message is obvious—this isn’t just business to the people inside the locker room. With multiple names gone in one sweep, the reaction coming from talent still under contract is starting to reflect how personal these cuts really are.

The timing also matters. These releases hit right after WrestleMania 42, with several established names and rising talent suddenly out. And while public reactions have been limited, moments like this—unscripted, live—are starting to show what’s really being said behind the scenes. For Williams, it wasn’t about analysis or explanations. It was a simple reaction—and it said enough.

Do you think WWE’s post-WrestleMania cuts are just part of the business, or do they hit too hard all at once? Drop your thoughts and let us know.
