Morbid as it is, is it time for a bit of spring cleaning?

There are so many people on the WWE roster. There are too many employees to give everyone satisfactory focus. You also have a backlog of talent in NXT. I know people don't want to see them called up for personal enjoyment reasons, but the idea for the guys and gals down there is to eventually become a featured player on the main roster. And they are getting ready way quicker than main roster talent are leaving.

Being released isn't necessarily a bad thing. For a promotion, for wrestling in general, or for the talent themselves. How much better is a talent on Raw's undercard, who can barely make Main Event, really going to get working comedy matches on the house show tour? Change is exciting, and it would help WWE and the wrestling scene out if there was some movement.

There is apparently a lot of talent that want out. That seems like a good place to start. Do you really want people on the road, whispering into the ears of others and influencing the morale of their friends? It might just be better to let talent that want out the chance to leave and try to develop themselves somewhere else and hope they fly back later.

The issue with that is that some of this talent actually seems like they could be "difference-makers" elsewhere. Still, Vince used to like a challenge. Let AEW see what they can do with a Rusev or Cesaro. If you let talent out of their contracts now, then they aren't going to be legally allowed to compete at Double or Nothing anyway, so they can conceivably cool, or be brought in as a wave where everything sort of blends together. Is it really something to worry about?
