WWE Releases Begin as Nikki Cross and Joe Gacy and More Names Depart

WWE has begun its annual round of post-WrestleMania roster cuts, with multiple names already confirmed or reported as part of the latest wave of releases.

Nikki Cross and Joe Gacy, best known as members of The Wyatt Sicks, have both been released. Cross publicly confirmed the news on Friday by posting on X, making her one of the first talents to officially announce her departure.

The releases come amid ongoing expectations that WWE will make several roster adjustments following WrestleMania 42. These cuts are part of a yearly pattern that typically takes place before the company begins its European tour.

In addition to Cross and Gacy, Alba Fyre is also being reported as released. While WWE has not yet issued a complete official list, multiple reports indicate that her name is part of the current group of departures.

Another name linked to the situation is Zoey Stark. According to one source, Stark has also been let go, despite currently recovering from a serious injury. That detail has drawn attention, as it suggests WWE is making decisions regardless of current in-ring status.

At this stage, the full scope of the releases is still unclear. However, additional names are expected to emerge as WWE continues evaluating its roster across WWE RAW, SmackDown, and NXT.

These annual post-WrestleMania changes are often tied to creative direction and roster balance. With new talent being introduced and others moving between brands, WWE uses this period to reshape its lineup for the months ahead.

More updates are expected soon as further releases are confirmed. WrestlingAttitude.com will continue to follow the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.

Names reported released so far:

  • Nikki Cross
  • Joe Gacy
  • Alba Fyre
  • Zoey Stark
