As previously stated, WWE let go of several stars on Friday during SmackDown’s broadcast.

The talents that have been released include Xyon Quinn, Veer, Sanga, Jinder Mahal, and Xia Li. No further releases are expected soon. Such departures are common as new talent emerges.

PWInsider noted significant empathy, particularly for Jinder Mahal and Xia Li. Mahal’s early push, tied to plans for expansion in India, didn’t pan out after losing the WWE Championship years ago.

WWE Shockwaves

Despite a promising segment with The Rock, Mahal lacked follow-up, leading to speculation about future feuds, including a humorous reference to a potential rivalry with Tony Khan on AEW Dynamite. Currently, Mahal awaits the end of a 90-day non-compete clause, with interest from other promotions yet to be confirmed.

Similarly, Xia Li faced hurdles due to sporadic pushes during Vince McMahon’s tenure. Despite backstage popularity, she struggled with inconsistent career opportunities.

Following these unexpected releases, fans and industry insiders are abuzz with speculation about the future directions of both the released talents and the WWE itself.
