None of us really know what happened. I am guessing after jobbing to McIntyre in 30 seconds he asked management if this is how his career is going to play out and if there were any future plans for him, such as what happened with Bryan. They said no and he decided to leave.
Even if he is just a jobber he is making alot more than he can make anywhere in the US, so obviously money is not the issue. If anything he just didn't want to be branded a jobber and still have some value on the independent scene. It sucks this is how it worked out, times like this make me wish there was a major company like WCW where in ring talent was valued and showcased for guys like Kaval. Unfortunately his only sucessful option is ROH, TNA will probably just have him come in as Orlando Jordan's boyfriend.

They said no and he decided to leave. No, I don't think his recent job to McIntyre is the cause at all. I think it's more likely his release has been in the works for a while now, and that's why he was jobbed out. The timing of both release could lead to you to believe the job was the cause of the release, but I believe it's the other way around. When WWE knows that you're on your way out - they are going to use you to put someone else over.

This release has made me a fan of Tyler Reks, because no matter what, the guy stays employed. The 'E must really see something in him.

Wha? Whether WWE canned him or he asked for his release, someone is an idiot here...

To be honest, I'm not the least bit surprised. He was pretty good in the ring, but he had a really bland look and seemingly no charisma whatsoever. I never thought he'd go very far in WWE.

So he wins their dumb little tv show, gets buried, and then released? Awesome planning WWE.

Stinks as he's a really talented wrestler, but hopefully it works out for me long term.
I woulda liked to see him on a larger stage for quite some time though.

Maybe WWE just wasn't for him, though I kinda hope he comes back at some point. I'm sure he'll work somewhere else so it's not like he'll just disappear, but if nothing else I like the name "Kaval" better than the other names he's used. There are some WWE guys I would've really liked to see him wrestle against too.

Can't help but think that creative would have had more plans for him were he 6 inches taller. I'm torn on this, by walking out now he's kept his self respect and likely his value as a name on the indie circuit, but he's quit both the WWE and TNA now so where does he go from here?

You'd think when the WWE Champion is only 11 lbs from being a cruiserweight, they'd be over that by now.

He could attempt TNA, It's a much different place then it was when he was first there, He could possibly get a decent run. If not then for sure ROH, they'd happily welcome him back.

You'd think when the WWE Champion is only 11 lbs from being a cruiserweight, they'd be over that by now. The Miz has charisma. It's not height as an issue. Rey Mysterio has charisma and connects with the fans, so he's pushed. Kaval has talent, but doesn't generate that 'it' factor -- so he isn't pushed. Maybe if he'd stuck with it like The Miz, he'd have gotten pushed eventually.

If he truly wanted to make an impact, he'd have endured and something would have come up for him. But he didn't, and now he's gone. He essentially proved Michael Cole right about how he couldn't cut it in the big leagues.

On the other side of the coin, maybe if he stuck around waiting for a push, he'd waste a good chunk of his career in doing so, perhaps that's how he saw it.
