As PWMania.com previously reported, AEW released several talents from their roster including the Boys, Anthony Henry, Dasha Fuentes, Gravity, Slim J, Parker Boudreaux, Jose The Assistant, Jora Johl and Stu Grayson.
These talent releases were reportedly done as the company is evaluating its roster and wanted to make cuts that would benefit both AEW and the wrestlers and give the wrestlers a chance to compete in any other promotion.
A number of those released talents took to their official Twitter (X) accounts and commented on being let go including Anthony Henry, Slim J, Gravity and Jose The Assistant.

The amount of support I am receiving during this very difficult time is amazing, and I appreciate all of it.
I don't know what is next for me. I don't know if wrestling is something I still want to pursue. I am devastated.
Regarsless, I am always a #workhorsemen

I'm grateful for the opportunity to have worked for AEW. Unfortunately yesterday was no April fools joke. I appreciate @AriyaDaivari for always bringing my name up and believing in me. @CapriceColeman you always put me over. As did @WilliamBehrens Thank you

All I wanted to do once I was signed. Was to get my wife and daughter out of the shit hole we live in. They're my everything by far.i failed. Does it mean I quit. Not at all. Mouths to feed and I'm broke asf. So I'm looking for a second, second job. Stop sleeping on me.
