Jiya Li, Jinder Mahal and more released stars made heart-wrenching statements

WWE is at its best both business-wise and storyline-wise, and that’s why it’s getting a lot of praise from the professional wrestling world. The recently held WrestleMania 40 was the most successful edition of The Showcase of the Immortals, due to the great product the company has to offer.

Despite all the financial success of Triple H-led promotions in recent times, the organization has released few names. One of the most surprising stars to be released is former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal. This was confirmed by The Modern Day Maharaja himself, as he announced it via his X handle. The Indian-origin pro wrestler wrote, “I gave up. Maharaja is out”

I gave up. Maharaja is out 💰.

Jinder said in his tweet that he had quit the promotion, but according to reports, he has been released and is on a 90-day non-compete. Mahal was the only Indian-origin star to be released by the company, as her Sindh Sher co-star Veer Mahan also parted ways with the company. Sharing a tweet in his mother tongue, Veer said, “When it comes to honor and respect of Indians, sacrifice comes first. Good bye WWE“

Like these two, Jia Li has also been released and expressed her emotions through a social media post. He wrote, “I am truly grateful to WWE and HHH for welcoming me into this big familyHis statement shows his respect for his time in the organization, as he now looks forward to growing his career as a wrestler.

WWE stars who have not yet responded to their release

Jinder Mahal and Veer Mahan shared their respective statements about WWE’s decision to release them, but their friend Sanga did not. Like the other two, this Sindh She member has also been released by the Triple H-led promotion, but he has yet to respond to it.

Similarly, former professional rugby player and NXT star Xyon Quin has also been released from the company after being on the yellow brand for a long time. The Australian-born superstar has remained silent about his departure from the pro wrestling organization so far, but it remains to be seen if he shares some statements in the near future.

WWE released stars who had unsuccessful storylines

All of the WWE stars except for The Modern Day Maharaja, who was released in the latest layoff by the promotion, haven’t really done much lately. But all these pro wrestlers were talented enough to do well and some of them were part of unsuccessful stories.

Speaking of failed creative plans, Veer Mahan was heavily promoted by the company for months after its repackaging by airing vignettes, but all that work went in vain. The Stamford-based promotion didn’t really capitalize on the start it had after re-debuting on RAW, and the whole concept was eventually scrapped.

Jia Li was also once heavily pressured by the organization until all his momentum was drained due to some questionable booking decisions. After being called up to the main roster, the female star was a part of many high-stakes matches, but never won a title shot, showing that she never got the chance to showcase her true talent on a grand stage.

On the other hand, Sanga and Xion Queen were never able to truly move in and find their true selves in the organization. Although Sanga Sindhu was a part of Sher, she was never the shining star of the team and acted as a side character in the team. As WWE has officially revealed these five performers, it remains to be seen what’s next for each of them in the world of pro wrestling.
