It was another post-WrestleMania Black Friday for many in the WWE locker room, as several notable WWE talents were announced to have departed the promotion last week via release or WWE deciding not to renew their contract. At the moment, the cuts to WWE’s main roster talent appear to have come to an end. But at least one person is suggesting that there are still more names to be let go this, at least when it comes to the “WWE NXT” roster.

On Monday’s edition of “Wrestling Observer Radio,” Bryan Alvarez revealed that there was still a chance that more “NXT” talents could be following Andre Chase, Luca Crusifino, and Tyra Mae Steele out the door, as initial word on the cuts called for more talents to be let go than had been announced.

“I’m just waiting to see if there’s any more coming, because the ‘NXT’ list was said to be larger than what has come out,” Alvarez said. “And they do have a lot of people that they have in that Performance Center, and they’re constantly hiring new people. So I’m not sure this is the end of the developmental cuts. Hopefully it’s the end of all cuts, but I guess we’ll see Monday.”

Just a few hours before Alvarez and co-host Dave Meltzer took to the air, “NXT” wrestler Carlee Bright announced that she was departing WWE, despite being scheduled to appear on the upcoming third season of “WWE LFG.” Bright was not among the “NXT” or main roster names announced as being let go during Friday’s cuts, suggesting that there could be more names that WWE has let go that have yet to be revealed.

Former WWE star Nikki Cross, who was part of the company’s annual post-WrestleMania talent cuts this past Friday and a member of the Wyatt Sicks, has shared a heartfelt goodbye to one of her traveling partners. On Sunday, Cross took to social media to express her appreciation for former Women’s United States Champion Giulia, who she built a strong friendship with over the past year on the road when both wrestlers were assigned to “WWE SmackDown.”

“I forever will love and support Giulia. Our friendship has been one of the greatest gifts this past year. I will miss her as a travel buddy but our friendship extends beyond. We just click. I trust her. I love her. I wish her every success, laugh and smile possible. She inspires me as a person and as a wrestler. I cherish the time and memories we have already shared and here is to more. Ganbatte.”

I forever will love and support Giulia.

On Friday, Cross was one of the first stars among those who had been released to issue a statement, where she thanked her fellow women’s colleagues as well as Robbie Brookside and William Regal for making her dream of wrestling in WWE come true. Unfortunately, Cross rarely got the opportunity to step in the ring during her time with the Wyatt Sicks, having just one televised match in the last 18 months. 

Last week, the entirety of the Wyatt Sicks was released from WWE, with Bo Dallas, Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis and Erick Rowan all joining Cross on the list of talent cuts. In total, 23 names were let go from the company on Friday, including Aleister Black, Zelina Vega, Kairi Sane, Motor City Machine Guns, Alba Fyre, Apollo Crews, Santos Escobar, Zoey Stark, Andre Chase, and Dante Chen.

It’s one thing to pay tribute to a wrestler by using one of their signature moves and wearing similar gear, but it’s possible to take it a step too far, in the eyes of some. Former WWE star Carmella doesn’t think pop star/wrestler B3CCA using her Code of Silence submission and wearing similar cheetah print attire was F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S, and she might just do something about it. 

“Hmmm.. there’s a difference between homage and theft… I didn’t retire, I had two babies… might have to come back and show these b***hes how it’s really done [with a money mouth emoji],” Carmella wrote on X.

B3CCA was up against Kris Statlander at “AEW Collision” Playoff Palooza this past Saturday. After B3CCA used her version of the Code of Silence, Statlander reversed the head scissors lockup by rising to her feet and connecting her Saturday Night Fever finisher, securing the singles victory.

It’s been three years since fans have seen Carmella compete in the squared circle. Her last televised match was in 2023, where she lost against “The EST” Bianca Belair. While away, she had two children with her husband, WWE announcer Corey Graves. Her time in WWE officially ended in February of last year, as the Stamford-based promotion noted they would not renew her contract. 

Prior to her departure, Carmella made history by becoming WWE’s first-ever Women’s Money in the Bank winner, which she cashed in 287 days later (still the longest ever time before a cash-in occurred) to become the SmackDown Women’s Champion. She would then go on to become a former one-time Women’s Tag Team Champion and a four-time 24/7 Champion.
