WWE Superstars - All the WWE Superstars Released in 2024

The professional wrestling world has experienced significant shifts in 2024, particularly within WWE. The company faced upheaval early in the year with allegations against former Chairman Vince McMahon, leading to his departure from parent company TKO. This event sent shockwaves through the industry and beyond.

Paul Levesque, known to fans as Triple H, has taken a more prominent role in creative direction. His influence, which began to increase in late 2023, was evident at WrestleMania XL. Levesque’s background includes founding and creatively steering the NXT brand from 2014 to 2021, a period that saw the developmental brand gain considerable popularity among wrestling enthusiasts.

Despite new leadership, certain practices persist. WWE continues its annual talent releases, typically occurring in April and May. However, the approach to these departures has reportedly evolved. Recent releases have been characterized by more personal and empathetic conversations with affected talent, a departure from previous practices.

Notable releases in 2024 include:

  • Drew Gulak (contract not renewed)
  • Cameron Grimes (announced departure via social media)

These changes reflect a dynamic period for WWE, balancing new creative directions with established business practices. The company’s approach to talent management and creative storytelling continues to adapt in this transitional phase.
