2026-04-26 WOL: WWE Releases, Wrestlemania Fallout, And More!

Andrew Zarian is back with another episode of Wrestling Observer Live, Sunday Edition, talking about the latest news in professional wrestling! I start with a quick recap of Night 2 of WrestleMania and the aftermath. I talk about Brock Lesnar's match with Oba Femi and his pending retirement. I also discuss whether CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns was the best WrestleMania main event of all time. WWE did its annual post-WrestleMania releases on Friday. I discuss all the departures, including some big names like Aleister Black, Zelina, and Kairi Sane. Where do they go, and in the case of Kairi, does she return based on the negative backlash? I also talk about the interaction between Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay that happened on Dynamite, involving the Death Riders abducting Ospreay, and the follow-up on Collision in which Ospreay was given a choice by Moxley. Plus, a look ahead to Double or Nothing, security issues at Wrestlemania weekend, and more! Grab your Dave Meltzer year books Don't have access to this video? Sign up now!
