Fightful Select also reported that WWE Boss Vince McMahon had strongest say about the releases and if he wants, he can stop any of the releases. However, these WWE releases are 'collaborative effort'.

This report also added that "mass releases" weren't a major concern before 2021 and that officials believed this year to be an exception when it comes to releases.
