Unfortunately, it looks as if there could be another round of WWE releases coming later today.

As per the usually reliable @WrestleVotes, WWE may be making a "small number" of cuts before the day is out.

At this stage, no releases have been reported by the usual sources and outlets, and obviously WWE has yet to officially confirm any further firings.

Of course, social media already has people speculating on who may end up let go by the company next, although it's clearly unfair to speculate about the future of any WWE talent.

Adam Cole was the last superstar to depart WWE on 27 August, with his exit coming at the natural end of his contract with the promotion. Prior to that, the most recent round of mass releases from WWE was on 6 August - with Bronson Reed, Bobby Fish, Mercedes Martinez, Jake Atlas, Leon Ruff, Tyler Rust, Ari Sterling, Desmond Troy, Asher Hale, Gain Zanjeer, Kona Reeves and Zechariah let go at that time.

As with the rounds of releases that preceded these 6 August firings, the reason for these releases was said to be due to "budget cuts".
