WWE’s annual roster cuts resulted in significant changes, including the release of the entire Wyatt Sicks group and Kairi Sane. This decision came shortly after WrestleMania 42, a time when WWE traditionally reviews its talent roster.
As of early Tuesday, WWE confirmed the release of Uncle Howdy, also known as Bo Dallas. He was part of the Wyatt Sicks, which debuted in 2024 as a tribute act to Bray Wyatt.
The Wyatt Sicks had recently held the WWE tag team titles before their release. They were involved in a feud with Solo Sikoa and the MFTs during WrestleMania season.
Kairi Sane’s release occurred amid a storyline opposite Iyo Sky. This marks a significant moment for fans of her character.
Andre Chase, former leader of Chase U, also faced release just one year after his pupil Duke Hudson was let go. Nikki Cross expressed gratitude towards WWE in a statement after her release.
She stated, “Goodbye and thank you, WWE. I’m really excited for whatever my next chapter will hold.” This sentiment reflects the uncertainty many released wrestlers face.
Officials have not disclosed specific reasons for these releases. However, they come amid several NXT callups including Blake Monroe, Ethan Page, and Sol Ruca.
The Wyatt Sicks retrieved a ceremonial lantern on the April 3 broadcast of SmackDown—an indication of their significant impact during their time in WWE.
This year’s cuts raise questions about WWE’s future direction and how it plans to manage its talent pool moving forward. Fans are left wondering about the implications for upcoming storylines.
As developments unfold, more details may emerge regarding potential new signings or further roster adjustments. The landscape of WWE continues to shift rapidly following these changes.
