15 WWE Stars Released

WWE

There have been a number of WWE departures already in 2026, following on from multiple notable exits in 2025.

Here are 15 recent WWE releases and departures, including all of those that have happened so far this year.

We wish everyone all the best for their futures.

15. Ava

A surprising WWE departure that was confirmed recently was that of Ava, the daughter of The Rock.

Ava, real name Simone Johnson, had been signed with WWE since early 2020 and debuted on TV in 2022 as a member of Joe Gacy’s Schism faction.

After just a couple of TV matches, Ava was moved into the role of NXT General Manager, a position she held for over two years before abruptly announcing her exit from WWE, which was her own decision when her contract expired and she decided not to re-sign.

There’s no concrete word on what she’s expected to do next outside of some talk that she could work for her parents’ company Seven Bucks Productions.
