WWE Releases Elektra Lopez in Latest Talent Cuts
The release of Lopez, a member of Legado del Fantasma, follows a wave of roster reductions reportedly aimed at making room for NXT call-ups.
- Elektra Lopez, part of the WWE faction Legado del Fantasma, was released as the latest in a series of talent cuts reducing the roster by 12 superstars since February 8.
- Lopez's release marks the end of her WWE tenure, which began in 2021 and included stints as a manager and sporadic in-ring competitor on both NXT and SmackDown.
- The cuts are reportedly linked to WWE's plans to bring up new talent from NXT, with Roxanne Perez already confirmed for a call-up to Monday Night Raw after her NXT Vengeance Day match.
- Other superstars released include Sonya Deville, Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, and Blair Davenport, impacting several factions and leaving gaps in the women's roster.
- Lopez is now subject to a 90-day non-compete clause, after which she will be free to pursue opportunities in other wrestling promotions.
