The WWE locker room is unpredictable. One moment you are at the peak of your abilities or an emerging talent destined to become the next big thing, and in the very next moment, you are on the sidelines.

Something of a similar sort occurred with several superstars this year. They had promising careers and great in-ring abilities, but despite that, WWE decided to release them this year.

In light of a successful all-women’s Ple event, WWE Evolution, and the rise of the women’s division in the company, here are 7 female WWE superstars who were released by the company this year, despite their hard work and commitment inside the squared circle.

Bron Breakker is one of the most phenomenal in-ring athletes in WWE today. The Wolf Dog comes from a rich lineage of wrestlers, with his father and uncle, Rick and Scott Steiner, being renowned Hall of Famers. In only a few years, Breakker has made a significant impact on the WWE landscape and is poised to become one of the top stars of the business.

Furthermore, the wrestling world not only gave him fame and fortune, but also love. The former WWE Intercontinental Champion is currently in a relationship with top Nxt prospect Izzy Dame. The duo is very much in love, as seen on social media, and is very much a typical girlfriend-boyfriend duo.

R-Truth is back in WWE after being let go by the company. Fans’ demand was just too strong to ignore, and WWE was compelled to bring back Truth. He wasted no time either, since the announcement of his release, showing up at Money in the Bank to take down John Cena in the tag team match.

Now, with R-Truth back in the promotion, fans are wondering if Triple H or Nick Khan might bring back some more WWE legends. But before looking into the big names who could return, let’s take a moment to understand why the company has been letting go of veteran stars in the first place.

Cora Jade might not have made the biggest impact during her WWE run, but there’s no denying her resilience. She was released in May 2025, but her journey has been anything but easy. In a recent interview, she opened up about a terrifying experience in 2023—an ectopic pregnancy that went wrong, forcing her into emergency surgery the night before Nxt Stand & Deliver.

The fact that she fought through it all and still managed to perform speaks volumes about her toughness. No matter what, Jade deserves a ton of respect for pushing forward despite everything working against her. She’s a true warrior, and her story is one of strength in the face of adversity.

After Mandy Rose, another WWE star has turned to OnlyF*ns. Cora Jade, who was released from WWE last month, is now an OnlyF*ns model and looks to earn millions from her account. She is currently a wrestler in the independent circuit under the ring name Elayna Black. The page is now live, with subscribers needing to pay $15.99 a month to access her content.

When she appeared on a recent podcast, she opened up about her decision to start the account on the infamous platform. She fired back at the backlash over her decision, sharing that people were trying to tell women what they could do with their bodies.

One of the key elements of WWE is that they believe in their homegrown talents. Talking about homegrown talents, it is their developmental territory that is popular as the Nxt. Under the supervision of Shawn Michaels, WWE has dug out some fine superstars in recent times, namely Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Charlotte Flair and the list is endless.

Two such popular names who are being tipped as the next big things in Nxt for now are Myles Borne and Stephanie Vaquer. Borne is a member of the No Quarter Catch Crew, and despite having his own challenges, he has come out with flying colours. Stephanie Vaquer continues to be the women’s champion in Nxt, which she won after defeating Giulia at Nxt: Roadblock.

WWE has recently let go of a large number of employees, including backstage staff and officials. They have also released some well-known wrestlers like Braun Strowman, Dakota Kai, and many others from both the main roster and Nxt.

WWE hasn’t explained why they are letting go of so many people, but it seems to be a cost-cutting move. It remains to be seen if they have finished making cuts or if more employees will be let go. Let’s take a look at all the wrestlers WWE has offloaded recently.

WWE superstars, including Braun Strowman, who were offloaded from the promotion by Triple H Triple H is addressing the WWE universe | Credits-wwe

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select has recently reported that these stars, including Braun Strowman and Dakota Kai, have been released from WWE by Triple H.

1. Braun Strowman – WWE has released Braun Strowman, ending his second run with the company.

A series of wrestlers were just released from WWE. The news of more than 15 Superstars being released came on May 2. The day before, reports first started to surface of company budget cuts surrounding staff members in a non-wrestling capacity. It was reported that at least 10-12 staffers were let go from the company, potentially more. Among them is Christine Lubrano, the former Senior Vice President of Creative Writing Operations.

The following day, reports slowly started to surface that revealed that WWE had started to cut Superstars from the internal roster across all brands. Individual names - many of whom would confirm their releases on social media - were reported upon throughout the day. This is the updated full list of WWE Superstars released on May 2, 2025, and in the following days:

Stephanie Vaquer has become the toast of the town. She has been promoted heavily by the WWE and made her first main roster appearance at this week’s Raw after WrestleMania. Vaquer was one of the biggest acquisitions made by the company last year. Nine months later, she became the first Nxt double champion and is poised to be one of the future stars of the women’s division.

Vaquer’s road to the WWE has been pretty long. She traversed continents and faced numerous opponents before she came to Nxt. From Cmll to Aew, wrestling fans have seen her grow and become one of the best women wrestlers in the world.

Stephanie Vaquer faced a hard road to achieve her dreams

Stephanie Vaquer was born on 29 March 1993 in San Fernando, Colchagua Province, Chile, to Héctor Vaquer Alvera and Gladys González Soto. She was a WWE fan growing up and adored Rey Mysterio.

The young team of Sol Ruca and Zaria picked up the biggest win in their careers as they defeated Women’s United States Champion Chelsea Green and Piper Niven in tag team action. Green and Niven dominated early on, but Zaria and Ruca slowly but surely took control with the Australian powerhouse launching Niven onto Green with a huge F5. That move allowed Ruca to line up Green for an awe-inspiring Sol Snatcher that gave their team the win.

Cm Punk has been an evolutionary force in WWE. Whether in his early days or in the current ones, the involvement of Cm Punk brings out a massive craze in the fans and whatsoever rivalries he fights, it has been a glory to watch. Off late, he has been on a battle path with Seth Rollins and the feud simply keeps on garnering traction.

Punk’s journey in the WWE has been a long one and when he returned to the squared circle in Survivor Series: War Games 2023, there were quite a few unhappy faces. Seth Rollins didn’t like his return and he had found support in the form of Drew McIntyre who stormed off the building on that very night.

Match #1: Nxt Women’s North American Championship – Stephanie Vaquer def. Fallon Henley The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

La Primera is officially a champion, as Stephanie Vaquer captured the Nxt Women’s North American Title from Fallon Henley in thrilling fashion. The numbers were stacked against The Dark Angel as Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx ran interference for Henley, but Vaquer was too determined to let the odds factor into the decision. The challenger became increasingly frustrated with Fatal Influence’s antics, and she laid them out one by one, leaving her and Henley alone to battle. Now engaged in a one-on-one fight with the titleholder, Vaquer hit a marvelous Corkscrew Moonsault to become the new Nxt Women’s North American Champion.

Cora Jade picked up the biggest win in her singles career to date as she defeated Bayley in a hotly contested matchup. The Role Model was in control, but Roxanne Perez came out donning Bayley’s iconic Hugger gear to mock her, distracting her and allowing Jade to score the win. After the match, Nxt General Manager appeared and made the Women’s Title Match at Vengeance Day a Fatal 4-Way, much to the dismay of Perez.

Match #1: Giulia & Bayley def. Roxanne Perez & Cora Jade The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Nxt Women’s Champion Giulia and Bayley proved to be an effective team as the duo took down Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade to kick off Nxt. Perez and Jade pulled out all of their wicked tactics and nearly had the match won, but the grit and resiliency of the veteran Bayley and The Beautiful Madness was too much to overcome. Jade found herself in the unenviable spot of a two on one attack and one huge Flying Elbow allowed Bayley to pick up the win.

Match #1: Nxt Women’s Championship – Giulia def. Roxanne Perez The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

The Beautiful Madness is officially on top of the Nxt Women’s division as Giulia defeated Roxanne Perez to become Nxt Women’s Champion. Perez dominated the early goings by targeting the challengers limbs, bending them back in excruciating pain. The Prodigy became increasingly frustrated by her inability to put Giulia away, and that anger didn’t serve her well as she miscalculated and was tossed off the top rope with a huge Double Underhook Superplex. Cora Jade came to ringside to help the champion, but Giulia kicked out of Pop Rox, rolled through the armbar, hit a huge Arrivederci knee...

The Nxt “New Year’s Evil” event on Jan. 7 drew the WWE developmental brand’s biggest TV viewership in over five years.

According to Nielsen data, “New Year’s Evil” averaged approximately 957,000 total viewers from 8-10 p.m. on The CW, with 341,000 viewers in the coveted adults 18-49 demographic. That is the best viewership for Nxt since September 2019, when it was airing on USA Network. It is also the best viewership for the show since it moved to The CW in October 2024, with the premiere on the broadcast network netting 895,000 viewers on Oct. 1.

“New Year’s Evil” originated from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Among the matches on the card, Giulia defeated Roxanne Perez for the Nxt women’s championship, Stephanie Vaquer defeated Cora Jade, Kelani Jordan, and Lola Vice for the Nxt women’s North American championship, and Oba Femi defeated Trick Williams and Eddy Thorpe to win the Nxt championship for the first time.

Match #1: Stephanie Vaquer def. Cora Jade The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

“The Dark Angel” Stephanie Vaquer scored a huge victory when she defeated Cora Jade in a fierce match. The veteran Vaquer starred early, using her signature offense to ground and frustrate her opponent, but the wily Jade used a huge codebreaker to the back to gain control. The two Superstars traded huge blows, but the combination offense of Vaquer was too much, as she hit a devastating neckbreaker to pick up the win and earn some momentum for 2025.

The Young Og proved he’s much more than just being bouncy as he took down Wes Lee in an incredible one-on-one match. Lee nearly had the match won but his underhanded tactics were spotted by the referee as he tried to put his feet on the ropes for leverage. The Cardiac Kid followed that up with a Cardiac Kick, but not even that was enough to keep his opponent down. Evans dug down deep and put Lee on his back with a clean superkick, followed by a huge twisting splash off the top rope to win the match and gain some much-needed momentum.

Wren Sinclair is officially headed to Deadline after overcoming Cora Jade, Jaida Parker and Kelani Jordan in the Women’s Last Chance Fatal 4-Way Match. Parker was showing out early, using her power to thrash her opponents and at one point even stacking up Jade and Sinclair to hit a Double Silencer on the ropes. Jordan and Jade went back and forth after neither were able to score the winning fall, and that opening allowed Parker to get back in the fold.

Jaida Parker sent a message to all of Nxt by going to the extreme against Lola Vice in a Hardcore Match. The two Superstars launched an all-out assault on each other with a host of weapons, culminating in Parker nailing a Teardrop off a ladder through another ladder, but it wasn’t enough to put Vice away. Vice rallied and smashed a trashcan onto Parker, beating her with precision strikes as well as a kendo stick before hitting a hip attack. The former Mma star locked in a tight guillotine, but Parker nailed her with a brick before hitting a...

It is best known for being WWE's third brand, but tonight, Nxt paid tribute to Ecw as they took over the famous 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pa. The night was filled with cameos from Ecw staples like The Dudley Boyz, Dawn Marie, and Rhyno, and was opened by Nxt's first hardcore match between Jaida Parker and Lola Vice. Wes Lee would regret assaulting Rob Van Dam with a steel chair before his match with Je'von Evans, as Rvd then headed to ringside to distract Lee and enable Evans to get the win.

WWE’s Nxt premiere on The CW was memorable for many reasons. The historic show saw the return of Cora Jade after tearing her Acl, McL, and meniscus at the start of 2024 during a live event. In a surprising turn, Jade helped former friend turned rival Roxanne Perez retain the Nxt Women’s Championship. Now the 23-year-old is set to have her first match back in more than nine months at Halloween Havoc. She’ll team with Perez to take on the international superstars Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer. Ahead of the big tag team match, the emerging talent talks about her road to recovery and where she wants to take this “Generation of Jade” next. There were a few months when you weren’t on TV.

Former Nxt Women’s Champions Iyo Sky and Kairi Sane returned to Nxt for a tag team match against The Meta-Four’s Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson, but they left with even more enemies. Sky and Sane’s quickness was met with sheer power from Lash Legend who at one point dribbled their heads like basketballs on the middle rope. With the action going back and forth inside the ring, SmackDown’s Chelsea Green and Piper Niven crashed the scene and forced a No Contest by laying out all four Superstars.

Giulia hit a remarkable Double Underhook Suplex and soon hit a signature G-Trigger, but it wasn’t enough to end the match. Perez nailed Pop Rox shortly after out of nowhere, but the challenger wisely rolled out of the ring. A...

For nearly two decades the one reliable constant within the WWE women’s division has been Natalya. The daughter of legend Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, granddaughter of Stu Hart, and niece of Bret Hart has built a Hall of Fame-worthy career all her own. One that has brought multiple milestones, championship wins, and even recognition from the Guinness Book of World Records. Even after all these years, the Total Divas star’s fire for pro wrestling remains hotter than ever. She takes pride in being the respected veteran in the locker room who has helped everyone from Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey to Cora Jade and Tegan Nox. The Boat (Best of All-Time) of WWE caught up with us to talk about her longevity, the potential of a Hart family movie, and helping the next generation. You’ve been a part of so many big events.

After some harsh words backstage at Nxt Deadline, Josh Briggs, Brooks Jensen, and Fallon Henley took down the Meta-Four in a Six-Person Mixed Tag Team Match. Nxt Heritage Cup Champion Noam Dar, Oro Mensah, and Lash Legend wasted no time in getting the match started as they jumped their opponents, but Briggs, Jensen, and Henley rallied. Out of nowhere, Tiffany Stratton appeared and attacked Henley, but Briggs stepped up in the ensuing chaos and hit a massive lariat on Dar, securing the win for his team.

Match #1: Carmelo Hayes, Trick Williams & Ilja Dragunov def. Schism The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Trick Melo Gang and Ilja Dragunov proved they could work together by defeating Joe Gacy, Rip Fowler, and Jagger Reid, but there is still a level of animosity heading into their Nxt Championship Match at the Great American Bash. Fowler and Reid tried to use their signature underhanded tactics to gain an advantage, but Carmelo Hayes had Trick Williams’ back and saved him from their clutches. Once Dragunov tagged into the match, his tenacity got the better of him as he accidentally hit Williams with a flying corkscrew elbow, and while it frustrated Hayes’, it didn’t affect his game as two Schism followers interfered and allowed...

Match #1: Andre Chase & Duke Hudson def. Drew Gulak & Charlie Dempsey The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Chase U is finally whole again and back to their winning ways as they exacted some payback against former guest professors, Drew Gulak & Charlie Dempsey. All four Superstars battled on the outside before the bell even rang and the action never slowed once it did. Hudson began favoring his wrist and the ruthless Dempsey took advantage by torquing it any chance he could, but when Andre Chase tagged in, it sparked the beginning of the end. Chase brought the fight to both Gulak and Dempsey and an enthusiastic Thea Hail managed to lock in a Kimura Lock on Gulak, allowing Chase and Hudson to defeat Dempsey and pick up the win.

Match #1: North American Championship – Wes Lee def. Tyler Bate The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

The Nxt North American Championship is staying with Wes Lee, but not after some shenanigans involving special guest referee Mustafa Ali. Lee and Bate squared off in the spirit of competition as both Superstars have been allies to one another in recent months, but it began to turn when neither of them could trust the actions of Ali who began conducting both quick and slow counts. Bate came close on several occasions to winning the title, but Lee’s championship mettle was too great as a well-timed and well-placed Kardiak Kick ended the contest and allowed the champion to retain.

My Score: 3 out of 5 Match #2: Malik Blade & Edris Enofé def.

Match #1: Wes Lee, Tyler Bate & Mustafa Ali def. Schism The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

The mystifying Schism was no match for the combined forces of Mustafa Ali, Tyler Bate, and the Nxt North American Champion, Wes Lee. The camaraderie of Joe Gacy, Rip Fowler, & Jagger Reid was on point to begin the match as they flexed their collective muscles to keep their opponents down and off-balance. The action broke down and it caused the official to miss Bate tagging into the match, but Gacy’s pinfall on Lee was broken up by a second official recognizing the error. Lee, Bate, and Ali used the confusion to their advantage and defeated Schism to put this terrible ordeal behind them.

My Score: 3.5 out of 5 Match #2: Thea Hail def.

Match #1: Ava, Rip Fowler & Jagger Reid def. Ivy Nile, Julius Creed & Brutus Creed The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Despite an incredible showing from Diamond Mine, the villainous Schism snuck out with a win in Six-Person Tag Team action. Early shows of strength from Diamond Mine were countered by sneaky tactics of Schism and when the action broke down, it favored the terrifying trio. Ivy Nile locked in a Dragon Sleeper on Ava, but Jagger Reid interfered, and the distraction caused the referee to not see Ava hit Nile with the signature mask of Schism and the sequence spelled doom for Diamond Mine.

Match #1: Weaponized Steel Cage Match – Gigi Dolin def. Jacy Jayne The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Gigi Dolin exorcised the demon that is Jacy Jayne as she defeated her tag team partner inside a Weaponized Steel Cage Match. Before the match could even begin, Jayne attacked Dolin and brutalized her on the outside before tossing her into the ring through the open door. The two former members of Toxic Attraction used a bevy of dangerous weapons including belts, chains, thorn-wrapped bats, trash cans, and even the cage itself. After Jayne set up a table, the two Superstars scaled the cage and found themselves precariously placed high above the ring. Suddenly, Dolin found her footing and launched Jayne through the...

Match #1: Nxt Women’s Championship Tournament – Cora Jade def. Fallon Henley The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

The Generation of Jade is one step closer to a reality as Cora Jade punched her ticket to the semi finals of the Nxt Women’s Championship Tournament with a win over Fallon Henley. The matchup was hotly contested as both Superstars looked to prove themselves worthy, but a crafty game plan by Jade proved to be the difference. Nxt’s Resident Mean Girl made it a point to attack Henley’s knees, and it ended up paying off. As the match continued after back and forth action, Henley nearly had Jade beaten, but her knee was too compromised to make the cover in time. Before she could put Jade away,...

Amongst the carnage, Prince & Wilson regained some momentum and gave The Family a taste of their own medicine, even hitting Spilled Milk on the outside.

Match #1: Triple Threat Match for the Nxt Tag Team Championship – Gallus def. The Dyad and The Creed Brothers The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Gallus boys remained on top after a chaotic and enthralling Triple Threat Match for the Nxt Tag Team Championships. Before the match even began, all three teams engaged in a frenetic brawl with multiple officials being needed to break up the action. All three teams gave it their all with Julius Creed showcasing his incredible offense, but in the waning moments, his loyalty is what cost his team. Brutus Creed hit the top rope looking to hit his signature Brutus Ball, but he kicked Jagger Reid off of the apron who inadvertently clipped Ivy Nile, knocking her down. Brutus hit his move,...
