The story we have on Luther Reigns (Matthew Wiese), and this is coming
from someone close to him as well as internal sources, is that they
believe he faked the illness (allegedly some type of viral infection or
food poisoning) during the WWE's European tour so he could return home
to be with his girlfriend who was giving him heat for being on the road
so much. This was actually the final nail in the coffin so to speak as
he knew his release was coming after being told at Wrestlemania that the
company had no plans to renew his contract. He kept this information
pretty much to himself and then started telling friends that he was
thinking of leaving the company, probably to save face, although the
decision had already been made to cut him. WWE talent chief John
Laurenaitis called him up this past Wednesday morning with the news he
was expecting. Laurenaitis gave him the standard pep talk about maybe
bringing him back in the future. Reigns is now concentrating on his real
estate investments at home in Phoenix. He doesn't have any current plans
to work the indie circuit but says he would be open to TNA or offers
from Japan in they came along.
Thoughts?
