Released WWE Stars Announce First Bookings

WWE

A group of released WWE stars have announced their first bookings.

On September 21, WWE announced mass talent cuts, which included Mustafa Ali, Dolph Ziggler, Shelton Benjamin, Matt Riddle, Dana Brooke and others.

While the main roster talent received most of the attention, there were several NXT stars who were released and are now looking to take the next step in their careers.

Former NXT star Brooklyn Barlow, now going by her real name Brooke Vawter, has been announced for the Capital Championship Wrestling’s Glory event on November 18.

Meanwhile, former NXT stars Sarah Baer and Gina Marie will face each other in a “VIP Match” at IWR Fall Brawl in Monroe, Michigan on November 9.

All three ladies were on 30-day non compete clauses, which allows them to accept bookings.

There were scrapped championship plans for Mustafa Ali in NXT prior to his WWE release, which you can read here.
