WWE has been on the headlines by releasing its next batch of talent, and a name that can be noted under the released names is Elektra Lopez. The news went public when Mike Johnson of PWInsider announced on Sunday that Elektra Lopez, the prominent member of WWE’s faction Legado del Fantasma, was among those released. Parting ways with Elektra Lopez is indeed a big deal for WWE since it brings changes in the roster dynamics of the company.
The WWE roster changes did not end with Elektra Lopez as the company announced ten other releases along with her. Released established performers included Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, who had been assets to WWE’s programming. The company also shocked everyone by releasing Giovanni Vinci, who had played a very significant role in the company’s storylines. The talent relations department of WWE has actively managed these changes, and there are indications the moves are set to pave for new NXT stars.
The WWE is being rife with restructuring, and fans have had their fair share of chatter about this issue, particularly on the release of Elektra Lopez. Fans flooded social media in defense of the released talents, but a good number pointed their guns specifically at Elektra Lopez and what she meant to the company.
