WWE Releases On April 24, 2026 | Key Details

• WWE made its annual “spring cleaning” releases following WrestleMania. Key names released include every member of the Wyatt Sicks, Andre Chase and Zoey Stark.
• WWE’s releases come amid several NXT callups including Blake Monroe, Ethan Page and Sol Ruca.

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 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.

The Wyatt Sicks had incredible fanfare upon its horror-themed debut. Fans were into the act early on, and there was even sizable support for the act as recently as this month, though the heat for the attraction had died down considerably.

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.
