I hate calling the Outcasts jobbers because I love them all but they basically are.
You've got three guys:
Slater: The go-to jobber for years. Given storyline with legends because he's annoying enough but also safe and convincing enough to bump for them all.
Axel: 3rd generation. Helped the Rock get into ring shape. Brock's mate. Seen as a dependable wrestler.
Dallas: 3rd generation (my bad!). Was given the honour of facing Sting in a face off. Seen as a dependable wrestler and also his brother is pretty well liked.
I can't ever remember there being a 'jobber' group who are more "safe" from management getting rid of them. I love them all though. I hope they get a good run eventually. Slater especially has earned it.

Not trying to nitpick or anything but Dallas is actually 3rd generation. Blackjack Mulligan is is grandfather. That being said, they really are a dependable group of guys who I love seeing featured. They may be "low on the totem pole" but they're the type of guys WWE is lucky to have.

Heath Slater has ultimate job security as a goober for as long as he still looks like the world's most punchable man.

It's weird timing to say this within a couple days of one of them actually being released, though the circumstances are admittedly different there with Rose.
I don't think they are completely safe, but I don't think they are likely to be among any of the rumored upcoming releases if they happen. Bo's probably the safest of the three given how bad of a faux pas it would be to let go of a former NXT champion in this New Era thing.

I agree they're safe. They're well liked and their job is to make their opponents look good, and all 3 of them more than succeed at that.

Curtis Axel is also Brock Lesnar's buddy and rides with him when Brock has RAW/PPV dates
They ain't releasing him unless they want WWE Headquarters to be regulated to a crater...

His release also seems like a "Go get help for what you're dealing with, and then you can come back" situation.

Heath's said they're filming season 2 so it'll be up eventually, I'm sure.

You know what they should do?
They should form a band.
And not just any band.
A 3 Man Band!

I have friends who are close with Heath (they're from the same area...they're friends with Jamie Noble too for that matter) and it brings me great joy to see him on TV often, JTTS or not.
I hope he and the rest of the Outcasts have long, fruitful careers in their role(s)....and hopefully, eventually, Heath gets a run (brief or otherwise) with one of the mid-card belts.

All three of them are very safe when it comes to job security. Heath Slater has the most perfect punchable face and is good at comedy and is regarded as a very safe worker to work with Bret Hart and other legends. Axel is a solid hand in the ring well liked by everyone including HHH who is relied upon to train with Lesnar and The Rock. No doubt Axel probably will be a future trainer in the company. Bo Dallas is well liked by HHH and his brother is important to the company and is a more punchable version of Heath Slater.
