The Wrestling Roundup is here to bring you all the news and rumors you need to know in one place.
WWE Releases Many Talents
Wednesday saw a massive cut of WWE talents by WWE management. Superstars, announcers, NXT talents, producers and more were cut or furloughed. It came as a huge surprise, as WWE only gave warning earlier in the day through a call from Vince McMahon to WWE employees. In that call he mentioned talent cut, furloughs, and a delay in construction of their new headquarters (h/t WrestlingInc).
The most up-to-date list of performers & producers cut include (h/t Cultaholic):
- Lio Rush
- Drake Maverick
- Rusev
- Rowan
- Karl Anderson
- Luke Gallows
- No Way Jose
- Eric Young
- Sarah Logan
- Mike & Maria Kanellis
- Curt Hawkins
- Zack Ryder

Jon Moxley is still your AEW World Champion after a hard fought battle against Jake Hager. He cut a pretty good on-the-fly promo after his win.

NXT Results
Even with the terrible day of WWE releases, there was NXT to produce on Wednesday. It was announced that Matt Riddle would need to find an interim partner to defend the NXT Tag Team Championships against Undisputed Era. What else would WWE have in store for their first live NXT in a while? Here are the results:
- Finn Balor def. Fabian Aichner
- Xia Li def. Aliyah
- Akira Tozawa def. Isaiah “Swerve” Scott in an NXT Cruiserweight Championship Tournament Group B match
- Tegan Nox def. Raquel Gonzalez
- Dexter Lumis def. Tahuti Miles
- Matt Riddle & Timothy Thatcher (c) def. Undisputed Era to retain the NXT Tag Team Championships
The debut of Timothy Thatcher was a welcome surprise in the main event. He was introduced by Pete Dunne, and appears to be a long-term fill-in for Dunne as travel restrictions are still in place.
And @SuperKingofBros' tag team partner is…TIMOTHY THATCHER!#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/Zb2eMqpzpJ

On NXT, we got a debut vignette for El Hijo del Fantasma. The former King Cuerno will debut next week, and he has been the rumored leader of the gang that has been kidnapping wrestlers in the NXT parking lot.
Killer Kross made his presence felt on this episode, attacking Tommaso Ciampa to close the show. Ciampa was speaking about his rivalry with Johnny Gargano ending, and now it looks like Ciampa-Kross will be the next feud.
WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!? @NXTCiampa did not see THIS coming!!!#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/XOzLNuxqpX
