Kurt Angle and Aiden English were also released. A decent chunk of those names are confirmed on the WWE website via this blurb:

WWE has come to terms on the release of Kurt Angle, Drake Maverick (James Curtin), Curt Hawkins (Brian Myers), Karl Anderson (Chad Allegra), Luke Gallows (Drew Hankinson), Heath Slater (Heath Miller), Eric Young (Jeremy Fritz), EC3 (Michael Hutter), Aiden English (Matthew Rehwoldt) and Lio Rush (Lionel Green). We wish them all the best in their future endeavors.

And shit, Mike Rotunda got released? On tax day? We just did an IRS story about five minutes ago.
