WWE Fans Sound off After Mass Firings
The WWE announced several stars would not be returning for future events, sparking a strong [...]
Billie Kay is the living proof that WWE IS biased. It doesn't matter how over you get, how much you construct your own gimmick and make your own opportunities and make gold out of nothing. It's still all in their power.

"Yall broke up this tag team. What came out of it?" one frustrated fan wrote. "Billie being released. Peyton being put into a nonsensical tag team with Lacey Evans for it to get nowhere. They broke up this tag team for no reason and nothing good came out of it. This is so sad."
"Same with Tucker. Broke up a popular team just to end up releasing him. Totally mismanaged the Iconics," another noted.

"They just used Samoa Joe on television literally at Wrestlemania, I know it's their spring cleaning and the other ones don't surprise me too much or at all but goddamn Joe, Billie, and James really?? It's not bad I know they'll be put on other programs but they were just on TV," one longtime fan wrote. "Samoa Joe, one of the best in-ring talents of his generation has been released by WWE, yet so many less talent wrestlers are employed by the company," another noted.
