WWE Release Yet Another Name As Faction Loses Member

As WWE cut more names from its roster, it seems there is another star no longer with the company leaving one faction a member down.

On February 7, it was reported that Cedric Alexander, Paul Ellering, Akam, Rezar, and Blair Davenport had been released by WWE. This was followed by the news that Sonya Deville had been told her contract would not be renewed.

Deville will be able to sign elsewhere as soon as her deal expires in the coming weeks. As continues to be the case, those who have been released are unable to sign for another company for 90 days.

It’s believed that AEW’s Hurt Syndicate will push for the company to sign Cedric Alexander due to their history together. Alexander was part of the faction when it was known as The Hurt Business in WWE. But now another faction appears to have lost a member.

WWE Cut Elektra Lopez From The Roster

PWInsider has reported that Legada del Fantasma’s Elektra Lopez has also been released by WWE. Her profile has been moved to the ‘Alumni’ section on WWE’s website.

Lopez signed with WWE in early 2021 and in August of that year, she aligned herself with Legado del Fantasma. Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, and Cruz Del Toro left NXT one year later when they headed to SmackDown with Lopez being replaced by Zelina Vega.

Following a split that led to the LWO taking in Wilde and Del Toro, Legado del Fantasma regrouped with Escobar, Angel, and Berto. Elektra Lopez rejoined the group on SmackDown in January 2024. Despite her joining the blue brand, Lopez only competed in two matches on SmackDown in 2024.
