History

Historical Context

After WWE’s inaugural brand split in March 2002—prompted by the WCW and ECW acquisitions and lasting until August 29 2011—the company cut several performers to trim payroll. The April 24 2026 post-WrestleMania purge, overseen by Vince McMahon, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, mirrors that earlier roster-reset on Raw and SmackDown, reinforcing WWE’s recurring strategy of periodic talent reductions.
