Gallows & Anderson, Giovanni Vinci reportedly released by WWE

WWE -clip continues today (February 8), which Pwinsider reports They have confirmed that OC’s Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson have been released by the company.

The decorated tag Team Duo returned to WWE in 2022 after being among 2020’s Pandemic releases. As they had been during their first race and days in New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Bullet Club Gallows and Anderson collaborated with AJ Styles. With styles that work solo or out in large parts of last year, the couple started working NXT over the main list, but didn’t get much traction there either. Their last TV match was there in September, a loss for Hank Walker & Tank Ledger.

Gallows and Anderson twice won the RAW titles during their first 2016-2020 race with WWE. They held the IWGP and Impact/TNA tag belts three times each during their career.

Fighting confirmed OC’s exit and added Giovanni Vinci’s name to the list. Writing appeared to be on the wall of Vinci when his teased solo runs led to a pair of squash on Smackdown Last September, which was never really followed up. He fought at speed the following month and had not been seen on screen since. Before that, he had been a member of Gunther’s Empire with Ludwig Kaiser.

Anderson, Gallows & Vinci joins a growing list of post-Royal rumble WWE -departures that include Cedric Alexander, Sonya Deville, Paul Ellering, Akam & Rezar from AOP, Blair Davenport & Isla Dawn.
