Fourth Gladiators Star Unhappy with Exit, Deletes All Footage

The upcoming season of the popular sports competition has seen the removal of four key athletes from its roster. The changes come as a result of injuries and other circumstances.

Bionic and Athena will not compete this year due to injuries. They may return for the tour once recovered.

Cyclone, who joined the lineup in January 2025, has also been cut from the roster. She has removed all references to the series from her personal social media, while her character page remains active.

Fans have expressed disappointment across online communities. Several comments lament the loss of their favorite competitors.

Athena, whose real name is Karenjeet Kaur Bains, shared a recent update detailing her six‑month recovery after ACL surgery. The post highlighted the challenges and progress of her rehabilitation.

The former competitor Giant was replaced by Tom Stoltman, the world‑strongest man champion. The former expressed support for his new teammate.
