The three tendered athletes were recently released with Emma's departure met with the greatest disappointment by fans.

Fans have heard past days of reckoning, where major changes happen, as a ‘Black' day, for example, Black Sunday. This was the case on Sunday, October 28th, as the ax fell on three WWE superstars. Darren Young and Summer Rae had both recently recovered from injuries, and their departures were likely due to the company not having anything for either of them to do.

However, the third release was a surprise, as it was former NXT women's star and Raw women's division member Emma.

Her departure was met with disappointment, but also can be seen as a great opportunity for her to achieve greater success outside of the WWE. Through social media, fans shared their sadness about her departure, which mirrored Emma's disappointment at departing the company. The future is bright for each of these stars, but for now, their departure from the company has been met with a great deal of surprise.
