On Sunday, WWE announced that it had released four longtime members of its lower- and mid-card scene — Luke Harper, Sin Cara, and Konnor and Viktor of The Ascension. These releases likely did not come as a surprise to many fans, considering how Harper and Sin Cara previously took to Twitter to confirm they had asked to be let go, and how The Ascension had not been used on television for several months. However, a new report suggests there may have been a few specific reasons why WWE decided to wish these four superstars the best in their future endeavors.
Citing an unnamed source, WrestlingNews.co‘s Paul Davis wrote late on Sunday that WWE is now “more open” to releasing certain performers because doing so allows the promotion to save more money on salaries. As noted, these savings give WWE more financial wiggle room when it comes to re-signing certain mid- and upper-card talents who are considered valuable members of the company’s roster.
