Yet another name to add to the list of WWE releases today.

Apr 15, 2020 April 15th, 2020

As the list of WWE releases today continues to grow, it now appears that Andrea Listenberger has been relieved of her duties on the WWE creative team.

Listenberger is largely seen as being the driving force behind the Mandy Rose and Otis love story that we saw culminate at WrestleMania 36 earlier this month, and Andrea herself has taken to Twitter to address this most chaotic of days in the world of sports entertainment.

In addition to Andrea Listenberger being future endeavoured by WWE, the other names let go by the company currently stands at 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, Epico Colon, Primo Colon, Mike Kanellis, Maria Kanellis, and long-time referee Mike Chioda.

Sadly, it appears as if there are still more cuts to come as WWE looks to balance the books as part of the company’s financials taking a major hit due to the ongoing pandemic that’s devastating the globe.
