WWE Axing Ruby Riott Has Wrestlers in Disbelief

Ruby Riott was released from her WWE contract this week and was one of the six notable Superstars to get the ax. The other five Superstars released are Lana, Santana Garrett, Braun Strowman, Aleister Black and Buddy Murphy. Fans didn't like the decision by WWE, especially Riott, who was one of the more consistent female Superstars on the roster.

"Yesterday, in a matter of minutes, my life changed very drastically," Riott wrote in an Instagram post after she was released. "But after some tears, some panic, and a full box of Oreos, I was able to look back at how lucky I've been to accomplish what I have. I never thought I'd make it to WWE. I've been honored to be a part of a Squad of the most incredible women I've ever met; I've gotten to see the world, share locker rooms with some of the most talented women I know, some of which I've made lifelong friendships with. I've gotten to meet fans that were just like me, introverted kids, who never quite felt like they fit in. And between the locker room and those fans, I felt like I belonged and I'm so grateful for that feeling." Here's a look at fellow Superstars reacting to Riott's release.
