In surprising news, WWE today announced the releases of six performers, most notably Shelton Benjamin and Mickie James. Katie Lea Burchill, Kung Fu Naki, Slam Master J and Jimmy Wang Yang were also let go by the company.
Mickie James was widely regarded as the best women’s wrestler in WWE and was a five-time Women’s Champion and held the Diva’s Title once.
Shelton Benjamin was one of the best performers in the company but had been horribly booked and never allowed to shine. It wouldn’t be surprising at all to see both James and Benjamin in TNA once their 90-day no-compete clauses expire.
