https://www.f4wonline.com/news/wwe/confirmed-free-agents-wwe-release-90-days-ago/

WWE released a ton of talent 90 days ago (April 24), with many being main roster names who had to wait out a 90-day no compete clause.

Well, that no compete clause has now finished, meaning that a number of talent are free to appear on other televised wrestling programmes such as AEW, TNA, CMLL and NJPW. WWE Releases 2026

The following talent have now completed their 90-day no compete:

  • Motor City Machine Guns
  • Kairi
  • Hijo del Fantasma (Santos Escobar)
  • Zoey Serrano (Zoey Stark)
  • Aleister Black
  • Zelina
  • Erick Rowan
  • Nikki Storm (Nikki Cross)
  • Joseph Sawyer (Joe Gacy)
  • Samuel Shaw (Dexter Lumis)
  • Bo Dallas

We’ll be updating here as and when these talents confirm their next move. Zelina Vega recently filled to trademark her new in-ring name, Xelina back on July 20. MCMG are expected to be headed to AEW and Nikki Storm will be focusing on her new role as co-owner of PROGRESS and DEFY Wrestling alongside her partner and former NXT name Big Damo/Killian Dain. Joe Gacy has also been teased for an appearance in GCW, although he has not yet been officially confirmed for a match against Atticus Cogar.

New day?

They left May 2nd, so they should be free to do what they want next Friday.

So I’m guessing all in is a go?

That's was the rumor was back when it was first announced they were leaving, but there hasn't been anything confirmed. I can see AEW keeping it a surprise unless they need to sell more tickets.

I'd honestly be more surprised if they weren't at All In than if they were.

I wonder where Aleister is off to

siv9939@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 34d (3 replies)

It's hard to say, maybe TNA? I'm not sure if their relationship with WWE would put him off going there after they let go twice, though.

And apparently he burned bridges in AEW. Or at least with the locker room. AEW has enough people, they really don’t need him back tbh.

I did love the House of Black even though AEW didn't really do anything with them

ImADifferentBird@piefed.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 34d

So MLW or NWA or something?

Maybe he goes off to New Japan?

congrats to everyone next week at dynamite who get to see the debut of mcmg

Guessing Kairi returns to Stardom if AEW doesn't snatch her up. Would love AEW/RoH to grab her. With Athena now being the longest reigning champ in modern history, Kairi is one of the very few women I would accept dethroning her.

I feel like Maya World is about to dethrone her. Which I would love.

ImADifferentBird@piefed.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 30d

Never been happier to be wrong on this!

Of course, maybe I'm not. She could be Maya Two Belts.
