See you in 90.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dawn was making a reference to the 90-day non-compete she\u2019ll have to respect before appearing on TV for another organization. It wouldn\u2019t be a shock to see her land with TNA\u2013which WWE entered into an agreement with in January.<\/p>\n<p>Dawn\u2019s release breaks up the Unholy Union tag team with Alba Fyre. The two women were former WWE Women\u2019s Tag Team Champions. Unless Fyre is a part of another layer of sweeps, she\u2019ll need to find a way to make an impact as a singles wrestler.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s done it before, but she\u2019ll need an opportunity. In addition to being a WWE Women\u2019s Tag Team Champion, Dawn and Fyre were also NXT Women\u2019s Tag Team Champions.<\/p>\n<h2>Giovanni Vinci\u2019s Exit Isn\u2019t a Surprise<\/h2>\n<figure role=\"presentation\"><figcaption><fbs-accordion current=\"-1\"><\/p>\n<p role=\"button\">EDMONTON, CANADA &#8211; SEPTEMBER 6: Giovanni Vinci makes his entrance to the ring during WWE Friday <span data-ga-track=\"caption expand\">&#8230; [+]<\/span><span> Night SmackDown at Rogers Place on September 6, 2024 in Edmonton, Canada.

He suffered an injury in 2024 and was booted from Imperium. Vinci came back with a repackaged persona, but it turned out to be a joke, and he was squashed in two televised matches.<\/p>\n<p>Vinci, 34, is an uber-athletic performer who has proven capable of working excellent matches. Can he ever establish a character that matches his in-ring ability? Maybe, but he is the type of performer who seemed like a candidate for a manager or mouthpiece.<\/p>\n<p>Vinci leaves WWE as a former two-time NXT Tag Team Champion with Ludwig Kaiser, then known as Marcel Barthel, in Imperium.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, it didn\u2019t happen in this run with WWE. Vinci had not acknowledged the news of the roster move as of late Saturday, February 8.<\/p>\n<h2>Gallows and Anderson Are Out<\/h2>\n<figure role=\"presentation\"><figcaption><fbs-accordion current=\"-1\"><\/p>\n<p role=\"button\">TOKYO,JAPAN &#8211; JUNE 29: Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson enter the ring during the WWE Live Tokyo at <span data-ga-track=\"caption expand\">&#8230; [+]<\/span><span> Ryogoku Kokugikan on June 29, 2019 in Tokyo, Japan.

The two veterans hadn\u2019t been featured on WWE TV in anything significant for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Their days of being a part of The O.C. with AJ Styles and Michin were seemingly over.<\/p>\n<p>Michin has found herself as a singles performer, and Styles just returned at the Royal Rumble without Gallows and Anderson being a part of his new flow.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson, 45, and Gallows, 41, are the oldest of this crop of releases. Gallows and Anderson have won tag-team titles all over the world, including two stints as WWE Tag Team Champions.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, Gallows and Anderson hadn\u2019t acknowledged the roster move on social media.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll see if they land somewhere else soon.<\/p>\n<h2>The WWE\u2019s Roster Moves Shake Up Several Factions<\/h2>\n<p>Based on the recent moves, several factions have been disbanded:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pure Fusion Collective<\/li>\n<li>The Last Testament<\/li>\n<li>The O.C.<\/li>\n<li>The Unholy Union<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, WWE has also released:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sonya Deville<\/li>\n<li>Cedric Alexander<\/li>\n<li>Akam<\/li>\n<li>Rezar<\/li>\n<li>Paul Ellering<\/li>\n<li>Duke Hudson<\/li>\n<li>Blair Davenport<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Stay tuned for more information on WWE roster moves.
