The WWE universe was left reeling after several notable Superstars were released from their contracts, leaving fans and fellow wrestlers wondering what went wrong. Among those released were Boa, a 28-year-old Chinese wrestler, and Jinder Mahal, a former WWE Champion. In recent days, both Superstars have taken to social media to share their thoughts and feelings about their departure from the company.
Boa, who signed with WWE in 2017 after attending a tryout in Shanghai, exclusively worked for NXT during his tenure.
He had a notable rivalry with Solo Sikoa, culminating in a No Disqualification Falls Count Anywhere match on the January 25, 2022, episode of NXT.
Although he lost the match, Boa’s in-ring skills and charisma had many fans believing he had a bright future in the company. However, his appearances on NXT became less frequent, leading many to speculate about his future.
Taking to Instagram, Boa seemingly hinted at his non-compete clause ending in a month, sparking excitement among fans who hope to see him return to the ring soon. While details of his release remain unclear, Boa’s message has sparked speculation about his next move.
Another shocking release was that of Jinder Mahal, a former WWE Champion with a storied history in the company. Mahal, known as The Modern Day Maharaja, was heavily featured on television earlier this year, working with high-profile stars like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Seth Rollins. Despite his prominent role, Mahal was released, leaving fans stunned and wondering what led to his departure.
In a heartfelt social media post, Mahal expressed gratitude to those who supported him during his time in WWE. He also hinted at new goals and aspirations, although details remain scarce. Mahal’s WWE career was marked by significant milestones, including a 170-day reign as WWE Champion in 2017, during which he defeated notable stars like Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura.
In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Mahal credited Randy Orton and AJ Styles for helping him develop his skills and teaching him the secrets of main event magic. While Mahal’s release has left fans reeling, his positivity and gratitude are a testament to his professionalism and dedication to the craft.
As the wrestling world continues to speculate about the reasons behind these releases, one thing is clear: Boa and Jinder Mahal are far from done. With their skills, charisma, and dedication to the sport, fans can expect to see them back in the ring soon, entertaining audiences and proving their mettle once again.
