I think it's fairly obvious, but a number of ID and WWE developmental talent were not renewed and released. There will be a number of additional names emerging.

Man, I'm usually good at pissing people off, but just saying I didn't want ICE ads on my Youtube channel really brought out the angriest, whitest, old ass dudes

Yikes! Paul Heyman said that most people didn’t know or care that Braun Strowman is still alive. This comes after Heyman said in a promo that Roman Reigns had never left on a stretcher/in an ambulance before encountering The Vision, dismissing one of the most memorable moments of Strowman’s career.

I am really interested in what remaining Trump-voting supporters I have left think about their tax dollars that they were apparently very concerned about being wasted, now going to heavily advertising for ICE recruitment during pro wrestling shows. That's a good use of tax money??
