Ah the ascension gone too. This is the fat I was talking about. B team should be next, and by any miracle, Dolph, but that's not happening

Connor and Viktor granted release too? Wow. So far its 4 superstars. I really wonder what happened. Well, they had that tryout. They could be cutting people to create space.

The irony is Luke Harper was on a high-rated Smackdown segment last episode (Bray talked about the Wyatt Family and showed a pic of Luke) but he'd already been released by that point probably. So they refuse to fire him and keep him off TV, but THE SECOND WWE fires him they put him on their hottest brand Smackdown on FOX in the most important segment with the main event champion?? This company is ass-backwards, Larry.

Dudes gonna be a star wherever he goes.
It's weird the WWE never really gave him a chance to go solo.
They'd start and then reset back into default Wyatt mode constantly

Those guys are connected. At this current stage in the decline of his business, pissing off Bray Wyatt, the Rock, and Brock Lesnar at the same time isn't something Vince can really afford to do.

Yeah firing a former NXT champ in Bo Dallas, or Curt Hennig's son Curtis Axel is just begging AEW to book these talents better than WWE has the time/inclination to do. Vince don't want that smoke.

This means that, as of now, the only ones publicly known to be wanting out and being held to their deals against their will are Mike Kanellis and maybe Oney Lorcan and The Revival. Lorcan claims to have re-signed after some kind of dispute with management where he erased all his Twitter and took a veiled swipe at Triple H, while The Revival have been known to be disenchanted with management at times to the point of telling them they want out, but hadn’t made that statement on social media like others have.

They wasted this guy for years. I hope he kills it wherever he goes. Ah the ascension gone too. This is the fat I was talking about. B team should be next, and by any miracle, Dolph, but that's not happening I'm not a fan of either guy, but I can't see B Team getting released.

Yea, B Team has a lot more important besides in ring stuff Unless they outright asked for a release, their is no point to cut them

Out of all of the indie guys they snatched up, Brodie was always one of those like Cesaro that I thought for sure was a can't miss prospect for the WWE. Charismatic, big, could work multiple styles, had a distinct look. Like, he was made to play one of the upper card monsters that they threw at Hogan and Cena in their respective primes. He could've been for Reigns what Umaga was for Cena.
But...well...
Him getting attached to the Wyatt Family gimmick was both the best thing that could've happened to him early on and the worst thing overall it feels like in hindsight. Because like Ambrose and Jericho, and others, have said in the past about themselves, it felt like once he was Luke Harper: Crazy Cultist Vince never saw him as anything else (and likely why he kept getting paired back up with Rowan and Wyatt).

Ah never knew that, but for some reason I feel like Brock wouldn't care too much. He seems more like damn sucks dude.... Want to hunt boar in my backyard? I hunt them shirtless and with my bare hands. It'll be fun let's go... I insist

Yeah Axel is their go-to for getting guys into ring shape again. He's not going anywhere unless he wants to.

I hunt them shirtless and with my bare hands. It'll be fun let's go... I insist I don't think either Brock or Rock would be losing sleep over Axel getting let go. Far less talented guys than him have been successful post-WWE, but we know how Vince's mind works so he and Bo are probably safe. Plus every roster needs jobbers. Yeah Axel is their go-to for getting guys into ring shape again. He's not going anywhere unless he wants to. He's one of those guys who's got a job for life if he wants it. When he hangs it up in the ring he's gonna be leading classes down at the PC.

And I believe they were both training partners for Brock and Rock’s returns
