WWE released 12 Superstars late tonight while WWE aired SmackDown live on FOX. However, the superstars on the list were from NXT and 205 Live, not the main roster.

However, many released superstars took to Twitter and got their message across to their fans and let them know how they are feeling.

Jake Atlas wrote a confident Tweet saying that he always knew he was famous but nobody noticed. But what’s good to see is various other superstars wished well for Jake and blessed him for his future.

Ex-WWE superstar, Chelsea Green wished well for Atlas, saying we are all behind you.

I love you. I can’t wait to see what you do next. We are all behind you.

Ari Sterling, who also got released, put up a simple yet strong message on Twitter. He wrote his ‘Alex Zayne’ persona from the indies is greater than ‘Ari Sterling’ in WWE

The most interesting Tweet came from the former NXT North American Champion Bronson Lee who said that WWE has no idea about what they have done.

He further tagged AEW, IMPACT Wrestling, Ring of Honor, and New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW).

Just got released from @WWE

This monster is back on the loose … you don’t know WHAT you’ve just done.#WWE

This Tweet might lead to an interesting turn of events as Reed has clearly established himself as a reliable source during his tenure in NXT time and time again.
