Still unexplained
The hunt for the origins of Covid-19 has for the past four years been a tangled web of politics, power struggles, and international finger-pointing.
The entire world has been brought to a complete halt by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the sporting arena is no exception. Although the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) was deemed ‘essential service’ by Florida and continue their live shows from their performance center, they have now decided to trim their roster.
WWE announced the release of several superstars from its rosters in the previous month because of the economic slowdown forced by the coronavirus pandemic.
Close to 20 wrestlers have already been released by WWE and now it has also announced the release of former tag champion Curtis Axel.
