WWE's latest round of roster cuts has resulted in the release of 26 wrestlers, including notable names like Kairi Sane and Aleister Black. This wave of cuts has raised concerns about TKO's (WWE's parent company) focus on cost reduction, with rumors suggesting that some wrestlers were asked to accept pay cuts of up to 50%. The tag team divisions have suffered significantly, with key teams like the New Day and Wyatt Sicks no longer part of the roster, which may lead to title unifications as TKO seeks to streamline operations. Kairi Sane's departure has particularly upset fans who were invested in her storyline with Asuka and IYO SKY, leaving her potential payoff in limbo. Furthermore, the release of characters like Aleister Black indicates a troubling trend where TKO appears to favor more conventional personas over unique character types, limiting creative diversity. Lastly, the cuts have exposed a disparity in opportunities within WWE, where legacy names seem to receive preferential treatment over newer talent, highlighting ongoing issues within the organization.
