WWE publish Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows & Giovanni Vinci, while talent cuts continue

Reports about WWE talent cuts that started on Friday evening continued until Saturday and you can add three more wrestlers to the list. According to Pwinsider, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson of WWE were released; The news was later confirmed by Fightful, who reported that Giovanni Vinci had also been published. They close Isla Dawn, Blair Davenport, Sonya Deville, the authors of Pain, Paul Ellering and Cedric Alexander on calls to the development brand.

Remarkably, Anderson is on the road with a injury with a torn labrum and rotator cuff; He was operated on in November and used the word “indefinite time” in an interview in December before returning to “at least six or seven more months”. Fightful gave his recovery time as “at least 3-6 months of minimum” and found that, despite the extremely unusual practice, while rehabilitation, Anderson is “in a good mood”. Neither Gallows nor Vinci had wrested in 2025 – in fact, the youngest match of both men in an unsolved competition before the episode of “WWE Smackdown” on December 13th was against each other.

Anderson and Gallows returned to Vince McMahons in 2022 after his position as head of the creative and replacement by Paul “Triple H” Levesque. Her first WWE run ended in 2020 when WWE released her during the Covid 19 pandemic. They spent most of 2024 for the “NXT” leader. Vinci has been with WWE since 2017 after entering the company as Fabian Aicher via the Cruiserweight Classic tournament in 2016. He became a member of Gunthers Stable, Imperium, about “NXT UK” and won the NXTTAG team championship with Marcel Barthel, who is now known as Ludwig Kaiser. When the rest of the empire was called to the main list in 2022, he stayed in “NXT”, with a new character under the name Giovanni Vinci. After Levesque had taken over creative control over WWE, Vinci was reunited with empire (although he kept the new name) and was part of the act until he left in 2024. A short -lived attempt to revive the original Vinci Gimmick a few quick losses and the sources of Fightful believe that he had pressed the card down with them and knew that it would not be brought back. “
