Wow. Seriously, this is at a point where it’s genuinely hard to keep on top of matters.
After barely getting finished writing about the WWE releases of Sarah Logan, Erick Rowan, and Mike Chioda, another batch of releases have come down the pipe.
The latest names to have been future endeavoured by WWE are Primo Colon, Epico Colon, and Mike Kanellis, with this trio joining a scarily ever-expanding list of names WWE has today let go.

This all comes after a WWE conference call earlier in the day where financial concerns were addressed, and major impending changes were promised. Said changes ultimately ended up being a slew of employees being released from their contracts.

Primo, Epico, and Kanellis join Drake Maverick, Heath Slater, Lio Rush, Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, EC3, Curt Hawkins, Eric Young, Sarah Logan, Erick Rowan, Aiden English, Kurt Angle, Pat Buck, Sarah Stock, Billy Kidman, Shane Helms, Lance Storm, Mike Rotunda, Fit Finlay, Shawn Daivari, Scott Armstrong, and Mike Chioda as being let go by WWE today.

Initial reports indicated that WWE was letting talent and staff know about their release via text message, although it’s now being reported that WWE is actually calling people individually to inform them of this news. Either way, it sadly seems as if more releases will be on the way before today is out.
