WWE laid off more than 100 employees last Friday, in a wave of layoffs that affected several departments within the company. Since then it has been speculated that there would be fighters who would also be fired, and that could happen as early as this week.
This Thursday, although it was not officially announced by WWE, some of the fighters through their social networks and Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful confirmed that several Superstars had been fired.
So far, the forwards who have been fired are: Mustafa Ali, Emma, Rick Boogs, Aliyah, Elias, Riddick Moss, Top Dolla, Shelton Benjamin, Dolph Ziggler, Dana Brooke, Quincy Elliott, Bryson Montana, Mace, Mansoor, Shanky, Dabba-Kato, Yulisa Leon, Kevin Ventura-Cortez, Daniel McArthur (Next In Line) and Alexis Gray (Performance Center)
Main roster Superstars will have to serve 90 days of non-compete, while NXT Superstars will have to wait 30 days before they can move to another company.
