I think WWE had planned to drop him from the roster this week. Why else would they have him absolutely slaughtered by D-Mac on a live edition of Smackdown they drew a 2.5!
Just humiliating him on the way out. Still not as bad as Kendrick. But it's up there.
Personally I cant wait for him to hit the indies and hopefully Japan. Ki/Richards, Ki/Strong, Ki/KENTA, Ki/Marufuji. Possible teaming with 'Cide. The list of awesome matches are just sitting there waiting to be made.

What in God's name was the point of having him in the first place? Even though he was losing, he was still getting a decent pop. Now NXT is an even bigger joke than it had become. Of course, A-Ri was already getting a bigger push than Kaval. A-Ri, the person they wanted to win in the first place. Just goes to show; since when has talent really mattered? WWE will push who they want to push, often in spite of the fans. DBD is a miracle of modern science. Oh well. Yeah, that unstoppable juggernaut and 2010's answer to Bill Goldberg, Alex Riley. As has been covered, there's no way he'd have won if they didn't want him too. There's a lot of misplaced anger in this thread (Tyler Reks and David Otunga?) I'm sad for Kaval that it didn't work out, and I'm sad for me because I liked watching him. Hard to slate any party without knowing the full details.

And that's one less reason to watch WWE. I'm literally down to Tamina, Daniel Bryan, and Dolph Ziggler.

Wait, how can you release someone you buried? Don't you have to dig them out first?

Yeah, my enjoyment of Tamina is kind of diluted, but still. Oh, yeah, and throw Alberto Del Rio on top of the list, I forgot about him. So 3 1/2.

It's just sad they released him, after they pretty much jobbed him out after his NXT S2 win.

The following is a new tweet from the official Twitter page of TNA's Jeremy Borash:
"Very grateful to be working for a company that gives out bonus checks at Christmas instead of walking papers"
Jim Ross posted the following on his Twitter account regarding the WWE release of Kaval: "Kaval's release from WWE surprised me," Ross wrote. "Don't know the circumstances. Kaval won't have any issues finding work. I wish him the best."
Recently released WWE star MVP had the following to say: "How do you know he didn't get rid of them?"

Given his "Push', maybe he wanted out. Does this retcon Joe "Now This Moment Starting Now" Hennig went farther though?

Well, if you want real proof, you'd have to talk to the big wigs. But, if you want circumstantial evidence, just look at how much they buried him. Kaval didn't win his guaranteed title shot. Granted, neither did Wade Barrett, but he main evented every PPV from Summerslam until TLC. If WWE wanted Kaval to win and to get a major push, the whole "creative has nothing for you" reason is BS. If they wanted him around, they would have A) had him won and/or B) given him something to do. Smackdown may be the land of rising talent, but it's also still the B show. Nexus is on Raw, A-Ri is on Raw. Kaval was the only NXT winner (hell, the only NXT rookie, by my estimation) not to be on Raw. If that isn't circumstantial proof that WWE had no intentions of pushing Kaval, I don't know what is. I am in full agreement that WWE did not use Kaval wisely, but none of that proves they wanted him to lose NXT . WWE controls everything they can about their promotion. There is no way they would have allowed the guy to win if they didn't want him to. Seriously NXT is a WORK people. Sucks that Kaval lost his job, but I honestly don't think I'll miss him, and he'd probably be happier on the indys anyway. Some people believe the WWE polls are legit (Personally, I'm not one of them). If they were legit, then it is a case of the "wrong" guy winning and getting punished as a result. Even if the polls are legit, they had the 50% pro choice so they could swing it any way they felt like it, and it's not like they showed who was winning the fan one anyway.

I'm not surprised too much. Disappointed, but not surprised.

Meh. I might be in the minority, but I never saw Kaval doing anything in the WWE. Not saying he's not a great wrestler, but he bored me on the mic and didn't seem to flourish at all after LayCool left him. I think most of his overness came from them being around him. When they left to do their own thing, I don't think he was that over at all and got nothing reactions for the most part. Smackdown is taped, so you can't know for sure, but the past live Smackdown had him coming out to crickets.
Not saying he should be buried, but I just didn't see him going far at all. He's not Rey Mysterio, so he probably would have just been used as someone to get others over with his wrestling talent. He might have gotten a small push in a year or two with a mid-card title for a month or two, but that's all.
He's much better off in the independents.
Also I don't really think you can compare Bryan and Kaval. Bryan had a huge reaction over his firing because, well, it was unfair. WWE was super high on Bryan the whole time, then fired him over the whole choking thing, and people felt like he got the short end of the stick. WWE didn't seem high on Kaval at all, he did nothing after LayCool left him, and eventually got released like hundreds of others before him.
Good luck in RoH/PWG/Indies, World Warrior.

You misspelled his name. Changed it back, since I loathe Davey Richards with every fiber of my being. Jed Shaffer ~Any guy who ruins the booking of five promotions, forces vacancies of two championships, and abandons two promotions he helped develop and begin has some karma coming back on him.
