For the last couple of years, there have always been newz of a massive firing spree happening this time of year. It hasn't happened since like 2012, so I'm not expecting anything.

The first name I thought was Sandow. Ryback and Barrett seem locks (if this is true)

Ryback, Barrett, Rose, and Cameron.
Aka the ones who have insulted the company in the past month.

The "Releases" will probably just be people who have contracts not being renewed.

From what I understand, this rumour started with Rob Feinstein, who said that he knew names and would love to work with some of them, but then backed up and said they might not happen. So I'm not really sure how legit these rumours are. Also, f*** Rob Feinstein. That doesn't get said enough. I know for a fact Ryback is over 18, so I have no idea why Rob Feinstein would be interested.

Do they even do mass firings anymore? I thought that stopped around the last time Linda ran for office.

And that was only to recover losses after WWE lost money on the Network and got lowballed on their TV deal. HHH believes that mass releases aren't "best for business", because it makes the shareholders anxious.

I think the following are really endangered:
Swagger, Ryback, Barrett, Social Outcasts (except Bo maybe), Fandango, Sandow, Cameron, Tamina from the main roster
Fulton, Dawkins, Wolfe, Riley, Knox, Woods, Noah, Daria from NXT
Surprises: Rowan, Breeze, Itami, Summer Rae, Lana, Ziggler

Personally, I think that if they leave, then no one else should get cut. Ryback and Barrett, as misused as they are, have been two of the "inner circle" of guys that they try more often than not to have on TV every week. If those guys go, then that should open up some space for others to move up. Fandango and Breeze are part of the ongoing Goldust/R-Truth love story. Swagger is the guy they use when they want a jobber credible enough to "look good in defeat" against upper midcard guys on the C-shows. As bad off as Riley is, they advertise his matches, and give him promo time once in a blue moon. They also seem to trust him enough to have him working with the PC kids at NXT house shows. Lana has been added to Total Divas. I don't see Itami going anywhere at least not unless he has a chance to redeem himself after returning from injury first In regards to the NXT roster, in a "mass cut" situation they generally seem to only release the guys at the very bottom (basically unknowns) who have no sign of progression. Usually those who aren't even in the TV rotation. The Noah guy literally just had his first TV match.

Both guys are well liked, can make anybody look good, and probably don't make much. Also with Axel, he's got The Rock and Brock Lesnar on his side, so WWE won't want to release somebody that both guys like, and with Brock he doesn't like many people. There's also the very real possibility of WWE wanting Axel to be a trainer when he retires. The guy worked with Rock and Brock on their returns.

Hate for the other man to lose his/her jobs but it's time for WWE to cut the dead weight for years now.

With 7-8 hours of programming, no one should be dead weight if WWE just learned to manage its time better. And just because there's no chance of upward mobility for some guys shouldn't automatically make them expendable. Not everyone gets to be in the main event. There are lots of new talent coming in, but someone has to put those new talents over. If you get rid of the guys that most consider to be "dead weight", then someone else has to suffer because there has to be a bottom of the card SOMEWHERE.

Ryder is about as safe as they get, considering they teased him winning the battle royal on Raw, and he's among the main roster guys that work down in NXT. I know, and that's just so... odd to me. Ryder is my favorite wrestler so I kinda panic during every mass firing haha. I'm pretty relaxed now though, yeah. For the last couple of years, there have always been newz of a massive firing spree happening this time of year. It hasn't happened since like 2012, so I'm not expecting anything. Hope you're right, hate to see guys lose their jobs.

I don't see them going anywhere yet.
