WWE did a bit of developmental spring cleaning this week.
As noted, multiple WWE I.D., WWE EVOLVE and other developmental wrestlers were released from the company this past week, including Wes Lee, Stevie Turner, Lance Anoa’i, Jin Tala, Drako Knox, Haze Jameson, Summer Sorrell, Brayden “BJ” Ray and Jamar Hampton.
In an update, one of those names have resurfaced to joke about the situation, noting that the release will at least mean they get to wrestle again.
Stevie Turner, the now former on-air authority figure for WWE EVOLVE, took to X on Saturday and wrote, “Can’t believe I’m gonna get to wrestle again.”

You can officially add a third name to the growing list.
As noted, two WWE developmental talents surfaced via social media on Friday evening to announce their respective departures from WWE.
Now there is a third.
Stevie Turner, the 28-year old women’s wrestling star, has announced she has parted ways with WWE in a post shared via her official X account this evening.
“My time with WWE has come to an end,” she wrote. “I’ve had a brilliant time and I’m so excited for the future. See you soon!”
Turner, real name Lucy Bridge, is a near ten-year wrestling veteran, with 4 years of experience before signing with WWE back in March of 2021, where she reported to the NXT UK brand at the time.
Most recently, Stevie Turner served as the on-air manager of the WWE EVOLVE brand, which airs new episodes directly against AEW Dynamite every Wednesday night at 8/7c on Tubi TV.
Stevie Turner’s WWE departure marks the third from the WWE developmental system that was announced today alone. She joins Lance Lance Anoa’i of the famous Samoan wrestling family, and Drake Starks (Drake Knox), both of which also broke the news regarding their own respective releases from the company earlier this evening.
Drake wrote via X, “Effective immediately, I have been released from my contract with WWE,” he wrote. “I am thankful for every person and every day I spent in that PC. I give everything I have every single day for this business!”
Lance Anoa’i wrote, “I would officially announce my departure from WWE. I didn’t have the best of luck since I arrived! I will not let this stop me from achieving to be great! I’ve worked hard on the indies for 15 years! Now let’s get back to work!”
As noted, WWE also released WWE I.D. Women’s Champion Kylie Rae and former title contender Zayda Steel this week, with the news of their respective WWE departures surfacing less than 24 hours ago on Thursday, October 9.
