WWE Roster Cuts Continue: Gallows & Anderson Among Latest Releases

WWE’s latest round of talent cuts extended into the weekend, with more names being confirmed as released from the company. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, known collectively as The Good Brothers, were let go, according to PWInsider, with Fightful later verifying the news. Additionally, Fightful also reported that Giovanni Vinci had been released as well.

These releases follow a string of cuts that began on Friday night, with Isla Dawn, Blair Davenport, Sonya Deville, The Authors of Pain (Akam & Rezar), their manager Paul Ellering, and Cedric Alexander all parting ways with WWE.

Elektra Lopez, the manager of the stable Legado Del Fantasma, was released from WWE this weekend following a four-year run with the company.

While WWE has yet to provide an official reason for the roster changes, Fightful reports that sources within NXT believe the moves are tied to an upcoming wave of main roster call-ups. With WrestleMania season approaching, WWE frequently shakes up its rosters, and this could indicate fresh talent from NXT is about to get the spotlight on Raw and SmackDown.

The releases of Gallows and Anderson are particularly notable, as the duo had long been associated with WWE’s Bullet Club-adjacent faction, The O.C., alongside AJ Styles. Their return to WWE in 2022 was expected to be a long-term run, but it appears their time with the company has once again come to an end.

Notably, Anderson is out with an injury with a torn labrum and rotator cuff; he had surgery in November and used the word “indefinitely” in a December interview before setting a return expectation of “at least six or seven more months.” Fightful gave his recovery time as “at least 3-6 months minimum” and noted that Anderson is “in good spirits” despite the highly unusual practice of being released during injury rehab.

As always, the wrestling world will be watching to see where these released superstars land next. Could we see some of them in AEW, TNA, or NJPW? Only time will tell.

“WWE LFG” Set to Premiere on A&E, Offering an Inside Look at WWE’s Grueling Training Process

WWE is raising the bar for wrestling reality TV with its brand-new competition series, “WWE LFG”, premiering Sunday, February 16th at 8 PM ET on A&E. This high-stakes show will push 16 aspiring WWE Superstars to their absolute limits as they compete for the ultimate prize: a spot on NXT, WWE’s developmental brand that serves as the gateway to superstardom.

For the first time, fans will get an unfiltered look at WWE’s rigorous training process, featuring intense in-ring battles, behind-the-scenes drama, and jaw-dropping performances. These competitors won’t be going it alone, though—they’ll receive world-class guidance from some of the biggest legends in WWE history. The Undertaker, Booker T, Mickie James, and Bubba Ray Dudley will serve as mentors, offering their expertise to help shape the next generation of WWE talent.

Adding even more star power to the mix, WWE Hall of Famers Paul “Triple H” Levesque and Shawn Michaels will oversee the competition. As WWE’s Chief Content Officer and Senior VP of Talent Development Creative, respectively, their insight will be crucial in evaluating performances and determining which competitor has what it takes to thrive in NXT. Contestants will earn points based on their athleticism, charisma, and in-ring ability, with each week bringing them closer to—or further from—their WWE dreams.

With a mix of action, emotion, and legendary mentorship, “WWE LFG” promises to be a must-watch for wrestling fans and aspiring Superstars alike. Mark your calendars—this is one journey to the squared circle you won’t want to miss!

Nikki Bella Teases More WWE Appearances – And Possibly Brie’s Return?

Nikki Bella’s return to WWE at the 2025 Royal Rumble may have just been the beginning. During a recent episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, the former Divas Champion dropped some intriguing hints about her future in the company—and even suggested that her twin sister Brie Bella might not be far behind.

Addressing her comeback, Nikki played coy about whether this was a one-time appearance or the start of something bigger. “Is this a one-off or is she here to stay? Keep tuning in,” she teased. However, she didn’t leave fans completely in the dark, making it clear that she’ll be back in the ring sooner rather than later. “You will see another ‘Fearless’ Nikki appearance, sooner than later, that is for sure. I’m definitely doing more than what I just did on Saturday.”

The biggest tease, though, was Nikki’s mention of her sister. “Hopefully, Brie Mode will be by my side soon. More on that to come.”

Could we be seeing a Bella Twins reunion in WWE? While there’s no official confirmation yet, Nikki’s comments suggest that Brie may be gearing up for a return of her own. The duo last competed together in WWE at the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble, but a full-fledged comeback would certainly shake up the women’s division.

For now, fans will have to wait and see what’s next—but it looks like Nikki Bella isn’t done just yet, and she might be bringing Brie along for the ride.

The Gunns Return to AEW, Set Their Sights on The Hurt Syndicate’s Tag Team Gold

After months away from AEW television, The Gunns made a bold return on this week’s Dynamite, immediately setting their sights on championship gold. Austin and Colten Gunn interrupted The Hurt Syndicate during an in-ring promo, making it clear they were back for one reason—to reclaim the AEW World Tag Team Championships.

The Gunns reminded everyone that they were former holders of the titles now in The Hurt Syndicate’s possession, making their case for a shot at the gold. MVP, speaking on behalf of the faction, didn’t back down from the challenge and officially confirmed that The Gunns will face Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin for the AEW World Tag Team Championships next week on Dynamite.

This marks The Gunns’ first in-ring return since the September 14th episode of AEW Collision, as the duo had been off television due to an injury suffered by Austin Gunn. Now back at full strength, the former champions are looking to make an impact and reclaim their place at the top of AEW’s tag team division.

Will The Gunns be able to dethrone The Hurt Syndicate, or will Lashley and Benjamin prove too dominant? AEW fans won’t have to wait long to find out, as next week’s Dynamite promises to be a must-watch showdown.
