Multiple outlets report that WWE has released more than 40 wrestlers in 2026, and that 11 of those released performers have officially entered the free agent market. Both sources highlight that Aleister Black is among the wrestlers whose status has changed to free agent. The articles present the information as an ongoing roster update, with the total number of releases exceeding 40 and a subset of 11 having completed the transition into free agency. Beyond confirming the overall release count and naming Aleister Black as one of the free agents, the reports indicate that additional details are available in a full list compiled by each outlet. However, the provided excerpts do not include the names of the remaining free agents, so they cannot be independently verified here. Overall, the coverage aligns on the timing (in 2026), the scale of releases (more than 40), and the number of wrestlers officially available (11), including Aleister Black.
