FORMER NEXUS MEMBER, SECOND GENERATION DIVA AND MORE RELEASED BY WWE
by Mike Johnson @ 1:22 PM on 4/30/2014
WWE released several NXT talents this afternoon.
Mason Ryan, a Welsh talent who had been brought up to the main roster for a short period of time as a member of the Nexus while it was under CM Punk's control. Ryan had been pushed in NXT as a big monster type but had disappeared from TV in recent months. He returned to TV on the last episode of NXT, losing to Tyson Kidd.
Shaul Guerrero, the daughter of Eddie and Vickie Guerrero, who was in her second WWE developmental run. She was part of an early version of The Ascension during her first run and had not been used on TV during this run.
Oliver Grey, a British talent, who had just returned from a knee injury after being out for quite some time, losing to Camacho on NXT TV. He was formerly a tag team partner of Adrian Neville, who had been moved into a big singles role while Grey was injury.
Danny Burch, a British talent, had been signed since 2011. He debuted on NXT TV in 2013 but had never been given a regular role or push.
If PWInsider.com confirms additional releases, we will have them on the site ASAP.

Damn, I thought Oliver Grey would have done well on the main roster. Didn't Shaul just get a new gimmick?

WELSHY NO!  Seriously though I did like Mason Ryan but he really didn't bring much... (cue what's Wolf Castro doing in the impact zone jokes now) also didn't Shaul just come back? |

Surprised about the Guerrero release since she was just being repackaged with Baron Corbin. Obviously personal stuff was going on behind the scenes again. Hope she'll be okay.
As for Mason Ryan, yeah thank god they finally pulled the trigger on that. And seriously, this is a turning point in WWE that a guy like him actually gets justifiably released now.

Oh well, at least they're all in Florida, so they can walk across the street to TNA...until Vince buys TNA out.

I guess the 90 day no competes are still in effect though. Wonder how many of them will JOIN THE FORCE instead.

Once Batista came back, you knew the writing was on the wall for Danny Burch.

These are pretty smart firings, I have to say.
Mason, in particular, got a platform. He wasn't even remarkable enough to get hate by the NXT universe.

So, since he's no longer under contract, should we start calling him...a Freemason?

That's scummy to get rid of Grey as soon as he's back from a lengthy injury, unless the injury proved to be too bad or it was decision of course but the booking doesn't really suggest that.
At least he'll always be an undefeated champion.

Aside from Oliver Grey I never liked any of these so, whilst it always sucks to see someone lose their job, as a viewer I'm not disappointed. Really thought Grey was talented though, impressed me as Neville's partner and didn't get too outshined by him (which is an impressive feat in of itself) so I'm kinda bummed to see him let go. Hopefully he goes to the indies and really makes a name for himself.

Was Mason Ryan still randomly peppering his promos with bits in Welsh?
He should have done all his promos entirely in Welsh. Make him the welsh Great Khali.
