The COVID-19 pandemic took over the entire world and affected many businesses, including WWE. This led to several talent being released, which was due to budget cuts.
According to Fightful Select, a top WWE official stated that Vince McMahon didn’t like the talent he fired during the pandemic.
“I can’t count how many interviews I’ve read or people I talked to outside of the company that said ‘Vince liked me, but I got fired,’ He didn’t like you, he didn’t like any of them he fired or they wouldn’t have been fired during a pandemic.”

McMahon returned to the company in an official capacity as of this morning. We will have to wait and see if WWE will decide to re-release the same superstars that Triple H brought back to the company while McMahon was not in power.
