All Reported WWE Releases – April 2026
WWE releases are currently ongoing.
Talent releases in the aftermath of WrestleMania 42 are far from unusual in WWE, and Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select recently reported that this year is no different. With releases ongoing at the time of writing, Sapp noted that it remains unclear in some cases whether departures are official releases or contracts that are set to expire imminently.
The following talent have departed WWE according to a number of reports from Fightful Select, PWInsider, BodySlam, and, in some cases, the talent themselves, who have taken to social media to announce the news.

Former WWE RAW Women’s Championship holder and The Wyatt Sicks member Nikki Cross was the first to confirm her departure from WWE, taking to X to thank the WWE Universe for their support over the years.
Fightful Select also confirmed that Bo Dallas, also known as Uncle Howdy, is among those no longer with WWE, while BodySlam.net later reported that Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan and Dexter Lumis have also departed, bringing an end to The Wyatt Sicks.
Following Fightful Select’s confirmation that Alba Fyre is among the departures from WWE, the former WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship holder made it clear on X that Kay Lee Ray would have no problems dealing with Alba Fyre.
Another name reported by Fightful Select to have departed WWE is Zoey Stark. Stark has been out of action since tearing her ACL, MCL, and meniscus during the May 19, 2025 edition of Monday Night RAW. Sean Ross Sapp later added, however, that Stark had recently been cleared for a return to the ring.
Andre Chase is another name to have confirmed his WWE exit via social media, with the now former leader of Chase University thanking fans for their support over the years and announcing that he will be available for bookings, signings, and seminars from June.
It goes without saying that we wish everyone affected by the releases the very best in their future endeavours. Should any further departures emerge, this page will be updated accordingly.
As always, we’ll aim to provide further updates on the latest WWE releases as soon as we hear more.
