WWE has released 80 wrestlers in 2021, often coming in waves of 10 wrestlers or more at random intervals. But the releases, typically cited as budget cuts, has often led to some unusual consequences the reverberate throughout the rest of the company. For example, WWE 2K22’s roster has had to change numerous times to not include released wrestlers and merchandise of cut wrestlers can still be available weeks after they’re let go. And then there’s the matter of action figures. Ringside Collectibles announced this week that one of the latest lines of WWE’s Mattel figures, WWE Elite 92, is now available for pre-order and is expected to go on sale in February. The only problem is that four of the six wrestlers featured in the line — a burnt version of Bray Wyatt’s “The Fiend,” Ric Flair, Scarlett and two variants of Adam Cole — are all gone from the promotion.
Hey, 3 action figures in less than 2 years with no matches isn’t too shabby… 🤣 https://t.co/yldoofdPOE
