I didnt see a thread for this so heres one - As previously reported, WWE has released Jody Kristofferson, the son of actor Kris Kristofferson who was working as Garrett Dylan in NXT. Dylan was said to be well-liked and had a good personality plus passion for the business, but his inability to match up well enough in the ring and portraying a gimmick hurt him along with not having the right body look for the company. People believed that if he could portray himself instead of a character he would do well.

Wasn't he teaming with Scott Dawson? They seem to like Dawson as a singles guy, that may have played into the decision to drop Dylan.

The not having the right body look for the company is always annoying. It's wrestling not everyone has to look like an underwear model. Especially when the guy has a more blue collar gimmick like Dylan seemed to have(I don't watch much NXT so I could be wrong on that though)

Yeah I saw his profile taken down from wwe.com, even though they haven't put up Conor O'Brian, James Bronson, Sami Zayn and Tyler Breeze after his name change.
He was teaming with Scott Dawson recently, who seems to have been getting some praise for his work, so my guess is they also wanted him as a singles guy.

They should have pared him up with The Shield and called them The Highwaymen.

Seeing as how he's been nowhere near Scott Dawson for a while, this was expected
