WWE\u2019s releases come amid several NXT callups<\/a> including Blake Monroe, Ethan Page and Sol Ruca.<\/p>\n WWE sadly released a handful of talent on a news-dump Friday. This has become a necessary evil for WWE, which makes annual roster cuts<\/a> shortly after WrestleMania as new talent gets called up. The Wyatt Sicks (Uncle Howdy, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy and Erick Rowan) were all given the axe after a lengthy feud with the MFTs this WrestleMania season. The long-term tensions seemed like they had a good chance of culminating in a WrestleMania match as the Wyatt Sicks hunted the MFTs for their ceremonial lantern. The Wyatt Sicks finally retrieved the device on the April 3 broadcast of SmackDown.<\/a><\/p>\n The Wyatt Sicks had incredible fanfare upon its horror-themed debut.<\/a> Fans were into the act early on<\/a>, and there was even sizable support for the act as recently as this month, though the heat for the attraction had died down considerably.<\/p>\n Kairi Sane\u2019s release comes in the middle of a storyline opposite Iyo Sky. Kairi had suffered verbal abuse at the hands of Asuka, and Iyo Sky\u2019s involvement appeared to be leading to a match between Asuka and Iyo with Kairi\u2019s loyalty at stake.<\/p>\n Andre Chase, former leader of Chase U, was also released just one year after his former pupil Duke Hudson suffered the same fate. With more releases likely on the way, this class is already filled with well-traveled veterans who are likely to land on their feet on the independent circuit. Many who were cut before them have shared words of encouragement about life after WWE.<\/p>\n \u201cIt seems like a good day to remind people that sometimes bad news is good news\u2026\u201d said Top Dolla, who is now thriving in TNA.<\/p>\n \u201cGoodbye and Thank you WWE. I\u2019m really excited for whatever my next chapter will hold,\u201d read a heartfelt message from Nikki Cross on her Twitter\/X account.<\/p>\n \u201cThank you all for the continued love and support. Special thank you to Robbie Brookside and William Regal for helping this dream come true. Thank you to the wrestlers, coaches, producers and all the backstage crew who make all this possible. To the amazing girls in locker room.\u201d<\/p>\n The Wyatt Sicks were released from WWE. <\/p>\n WWEWWE Releases On April 24, 2026<\/p>\n![\"wyattsicks\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/4725a60acf907167e0cc0f64f7d0c272.jpeg\"\/)
