The recent WWE talent departures of R-Truth and Carlito were reportedly specific choices made under the direction of Paul “Triple H” Levesque. Financial considerations drove it.
The two stars shared on social media that the company would not renew their deals. Dave Meltzer discussed the cuts while speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio.
“They’re numbers. They’re looking at the numbers, and they’re looking at how many do we have to cut, or how much money do we have to cut? And those were the picks. Those were the Levesque picks. And that’s what it is. I don’t think they lose anything by losing Carlito. R-Truth is really funny.”
