As WWE continues to make even more cuts today, it’s now being reported that the Bollywood Boyz, Killian Dain, Marina Shafir, Curt Stallion and Arturo Ruas are amongst those given their WWE release today.

The last hour or two has already seen the WWE releases of Ever-Rise, Breezango, Ariya Daivari, Tony Nese and writer Kenice Mobley, and now Sunil and Samir Singh, Dain, Shafir, Stallion and Ruas have similarly been let go by Vince McMahon’s sports entertainment behemoth.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful broke the Killian Dain news, while PWInsider was first to report the news of these other five latest names to be heading to the WWE exit door, with it currently unknown whether the company is finished with yet another round of hefty cuts.

Already this month WWE released six talent – including former Universal Champion Braun Strowman – in addition to major releases in May, in April, and dotted throughout the rest of 2021.

All of the prior mass cuts have been put down to bUdGEt CuTZ, and it seems likely to expect this latest round of firings to be put down to that - all while WWE champions record revenue numbers and huge profit margis.
