Tye was granted his release, although didn't get the usual "best of luck in his future endeavours." line.

And the 90 day No Compete clause expires 2 days before All Elite Wrestling's Double Or Nothing show in Vegas..

Hideo Itami's release has been confirmed, as has TJ Perkin's.

Jesus didn't hear about Perkins. Are they afraid now of the negative publicity associated with forcing people to stay?

Seems the WWE's Spring Clean has started. Then again when was the last time Perkins was seen on WWE TV?

Matt Hardy said his contract expires in 2 days and has heavily hinted at leaving when it does. Plus Ambrose, obviously. Little bit of a clear out.

Wonder if anyone else is worried bout picking up their phones. Though so far they all seem to have requested their release.

None will really be missed either. Not to say they’re not talented individuals but WWE has been stockpiling talented guys for a few years and those that are going are all replaceable.

If you haven't been used a lot recently by WWE you'd be hoping to not see a phone number starting with a connecticut area code on your phone.

Oh, I forgot to include Arn Anderson in the thread title too.

This week losing to Humberto Carrillo in the No 1 contender tournament.

But, yeah kinda surprised to see him go. I guess fed up of Lucha House Party seemingly guaranteed a match every week.

So ronda leaving after Wrestle Mania isn't true if you believe her contract end date. Although her being under contract doesn't mean she'll be wrestling all the time I suppose. Mandy Rose will surely get resigned before her contract expires. I think she can do big things.

Paige in April, hmm. How will that be handled I wonder. They never should've taken her away from her Smackdown GM role.

Ronda is supposed to have an agreement that she can take time out for a while, presumably a year or more if you believe the ‘really eager to have kids’ stories. I’d say she’ll come and go as it suits her after Mania.
