On Friday night, WWE presented another weekly episode of SmackDown and during the program, news beyond the rings and television surprised fans on social media. Therefore, the company chose to fire several fighters from the active talent roster. They are: Jinder Mahal, member of RAW and former world champion, Xia Li, also a member of RAW, and Xyon Quinn, star of NXT. Later, it was also discovered that Veer Mahaan and Sanga were dropped by the company.
The first to announce his departure was Jinder Mahal. The “Maharajah” made a post on his social media saying: “I resign. 90 days." The period of time mentioned is probably the usual non-compete clause in WWE contracts scheduled for after the end of the contracts. Later, Xia Li was the one who confirmed the end of her time at the company through an official note thanking the bosses, employees and fans who supported her along the way.
PWInsider and Fightful Select confirmed the professionals' dismissals.
