What WWE Had Planned For Some Of The Recently Released Wrestlers
What could have been. WWE did it again earlier this week as they released nearly twenty more wrestlers from the company. That is not the kind of thing that you can bounce back from in a hurry and it is not clear where a lot of those wrestlers are going to go. What is clear is that WWE had to change a few plans, and now we know what was going to happen to some of the wrestlers before they were let go. Fightful Select is reporting what was planned for some of the released wrestlers before they were let go by WWE: Katrina Cortez was brought up to Monday Night Raw in 2019 as Sin Cara’s partner in a few losses to Zelina Vega and Andrade. Once the program was over, Cortez was sent back to NXT where there were no plans to do anything else with her.

There had been pushed to pair her with Karrion Kross, though it is unknown if WWE was going to do so. Kr..

WWE Legend Currently Out Of Action With Medical Issue
That’s never good. Injuries can take any wrestler out of the ring at any given time. Some of them are much worse than others but what matters the most is that someone is not going to be able to get into the ring for a while. No one is immune to this and unfortunately it seems that another current WWE star is missing in action at the moment due to some kind of issue. According to Fightful Select, SmackDown’s Rey Mysterio is currently sidelined with some sort of medical issue. As a result, Mysterio was unable to wrestle at this weekend’s WWE live event, where he was scheduled to face Roman Reigns. There is no word on when Mysterio will be cleared to return to the ring. Mysterio’s most recent match took place at a live event on September 25. Mysterio is rather good when he’s healthy.

Update On Main Roster Stars Heading Down To NXT
Welcome home. NXT is viewed as college for a lot of wrestlers. The wrestlers get to spend at least a year down there and learn how to be ready for the main roster, but at the same time their runs down there has to end.
