See you in 90."Dawn was making a reference to the 90-day non-compete shell have to respect before appearing on TV for another organization. It wouldnt be a shock to see her land with TNAwhich WWE entered into an agreement with in January.Dawns release breaks up the Unholy Union tag team with Alba Fyre. The two women were former WWE Womens Tag Team Champions. Unless Fyre is a part of another layer of sweeps, shell need to find a way to make an impact as a singles wrestler.Shes done it before, but shell need an opportunity. In addition to being a WWE Womens Tag Team Champion, Dawn and Fyre were also NXT Womens Tag Team Champions.Giovanni Vincis Exit Isnt a SurpriseEDMONTON, CANADA - SEPTEMBER 6: Giovanni Vinci makes his entrance to the ring during WWE Friday ... [+] Night SmackDown at Rogers Place on September 6, 2024 in Edmonton, Canada. (Photo by WWE/Getty Images)WWE via Getty ImagesVincis exit isnt a surprise. He suffered an injury in 2024 and was booted from Imperium. Vinci came back with a repackaged persona, but it turned out to be a joke, and he was squashed in two televised matches.Vinci, 34, is an uber-athletic performer who has proven capable of working excellent matches. Can he ever establish a character that matches his in-ring ability? Maybe, but he is the type of performer who seemed like a candidate for a manager or mouthpiece.Vinci leaves WWE as a former two-time NXT Tag Team Champion with Ludwig Kaiser, then known as Marcel Barthel, in Imperium.Unfortunately, it didnt happen in this run with WWE. Vinci had not acknowledged the news of the roster move as of late Saturday, February 8.Gallows and Anderson Are OutTOKYO,JAPAN - JUNE 29: Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson enter the ring during the WWE Live Tokyo at ...

The two veterans hadnt been featured on WWE TV in anything significant for a while.Their days of being a part of The O.C. with AJ Styles and Michin were seemingly over.Michin has found herself as a singles performer, and Styles just returned at the Royal Rumble without Gallows and Anderson being a part of his new flow.Anderson, 45, and Gallows, 41, are the oldest of this crop of releases. Gallows and Anderson have won tag-team titles all over the world, including two stints as WWE Tag Team Champions.Likewise, Gallows and Anderson hadnt acknowledged the roster move on social media.Well see if they land somewhere else soon.The WWEs Roster Moves Shake Up Several FactionsBased on the recent moves, several factions have been disbanded:Pure Fusion CollectiveThe Last TestamentThe O.C.The Unholy UnionAdditionally, WWE has also released:Sonya DevilleCedric AlexanderAkamRezarPaul ElleringDuke HudsonBlair DavenportStay tuned for more information on WWE roster moves.
