77. Kassius Ohno

Released: 16 April 2020

Now: The one-time Chris Hero hasn't really gone on to do much since leaving WWE behind. However, he's still considered to be someone who has a great mind for the wrestling biz, so it's likely he'll pop back up somewhere soon enough.

Count on it.

76. Jack Gallagher

Released: 19 June 2020

Now: The quirky character Jack Gallagher played on TV had a weird charm to it, but he left WWE amidst disgrace due to sexual misconduct allegations during the 'Speaking Out' movement. Gallagher admitted to wrongdoing, and was subsequently binned by the company.

He hasn't wrestled since.

75. Ligero

Released: June 2020

Now: Once-popular UK star El Ligero was another who admitted to wrongdoing and was released during the summer months of 2020. He'd only just debuted on the old 205 Live brand when allegations came out and things went south for his in-ring career.

Appearances since have been very sparse.

74. Travis Banks

Released: June 2020

Now: Travis Banks was cut free at around the same time Ligero was. Regrettably, he was also involved in some depressing incidents that came to light during the 'Speaking Out' movement on social media. Banks has since tried to resurrect his career on the independent scene.

A WWE return seems unlikely.
