Another round of releases in WWE on Friday - at least fourteen wrestlers.

Many of those names are regulars on 205 Live. In fact, both Grey and Daivari had matches on last night’s episode - both in losing efforts.

Edge is back. He returned at the end of SmackDown...after Paul Heyman declared that Universal Champion Roman Reigns had “cleared out the division”. Edge got the better of an attack on Reigns, set up for the con-chair-to...but Jimmy Uso cut him off. Reigns fled. Jimmy got speared by Edge through a barricade for his troubles.

Earlier, Jimmy Uso pinned Dolph Ziggler with a superkick.

Big E is in the men’s Money In The Bank ladder match. He qualified by pinning Apollo Crews with the Big Ending on last night’s SmackDown.

Sami Zayn will have a chance to qualify on next week’s show - but he’ll have to beat Kevin Owens in a Last Man Standing Match.

Carmella was announced as an entrant in the women’s Money In the Bank match. Liv Morgan wants in the match too, but she apparently has to earn her way. So, Morgan was put in a match with Carmella...and beat her.

WWE announced four live event dates in the United Kingdom coming up in September.

Also on the show, Clark Conners scored a big win over Rocky Romero.
