World Wrestling Entertainment announced the releases of ECW star Elijah Burke and Smackdown star Kenny Dykstra this afternoon.
Burke had not been used in recent months. He was a central figure during the ECW Originals vs. New Breed feud but had lost his main supporter when Dave Lagana left the WWE Creative team.
Dykstra was considered the best of the Spirit Squad crew during their run on Raw, but was saddled with a reputation for a bad attitude, which hindered him politically within the company. He was considered a "can't miss" prospect during his time in Ohio Valley Wrestling while under a developmental deal.
Lena Yada, who had appeared as an interviewer for the ECW brand, has also been released from World Wrestling Entertainment. Yada, who was featured on the WWE website for a lot of her charitable efforts, made very few in-ring appearances for the company.
