"It looks as though Heath Slater may need to look for a new tag team partner. Former ECW Champion Rhyno’s profile has been moved out of WWE.com’s active roster section and into the alumni. Since the beginning of the current brand split, the tandem of Rhyno and Heath Slater have been working as a tag team, winning the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. After being drafted to RAW, they became background players, working mainly on Main Event. Both Rhyno and Heath Slater worked in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royale at WrestleMania 35. As previously reported, Rhyno’s contract is set to expire in mid-July. At the time, the hardcore legend stated that he wants to continue wrestling but wasn’t sure that WWE will resign him." Poor Heath EDIT: He's been moved back to current superstars now. Nice glitch, WWE.

Didn’t he “lose his job” in a match with Slater last year. Then Slater became a ref for some reason. Wasn’t that a way to write him off?
I dunno maybe it’s being from metro Detroit. I’ll always be a Rhyno mark. He has a lot of friends at Impact at the moment. He’ll probably end up there.

Yeah, but the week after Corbin lost his job, they had the Christmas episode and different wrestlers were declaring Christmas wishes and Heath basically just said his wish was for Rhyno to get his job back. Then later on, Heath was getting beat down by... I can't really remember who, but a Santa came out from the crowd and entered the ring and sure enough it was Rhyno and he saved Heath from the beatdown. They basically just said he was rehired after Corbin was fired and he and Heath started teaming together again like nothing happened.

AEW as a solid veteran hand or somewhere else, he's got something left, he'll get booked. But yeah when it comes to WWE it's pretty clear they have no plans to use him anymore.
Sucks, he and Heath deserved more. They cut that gimmick off at the knees, what a shock.

Catering will save a fortune on canned cheese.
I remember Rhyno being massively over in 2001, hell of an interesting career he's had.

I hope Ryno is one of those HTM or Hacksaw types that randomly just pops in and out for the rest of time. I'll never not like just seeing the guy.

I've always been fond of him, even if, as OSW love pointing out, he has weirdly short t-rex arms.

I just wish we could have seen him Gore The Rock one more time.

I’ve always been a Rhyno fan. I can’t say I’m surprised he got let go from WWE but I think he’ll find work. He’s a big guy that can go and that’s kind of rare these days. He could easily pop up anywhere from TNA to NJPW.

And they were just in the battle royal together and even took a picture before the show (where Otis called him "dad") too...

I must seek this out.😆 Those two together is something I never knew I wanted until now.

I remember reading when it happened that Rhino had "lost his job" and there was speculation if his contract was up or what the situation was. Then I'm watching the Wrestlemania Battle Royal a few days ago and Rhino's in the match! I don't watch Raw so I had no idea why or what happened.

Been a fan of his since ECW (Paul Heyman did a GREAT job getting the Gore Over on commentary)
He won't have much trouble finding work

He hasn’t been though has he, he’s still on the RAW Superstars page on the app on my phone. Unless he’s on both or they moved him back?
