They are literally developmental, they are live TV Developmental, people quite literally learning, sinking, or swimming, on live TV. Not much coaching exactly going on. Vince wants these people to either be main roster ready in six months or they potentially get cut. This was his own edict when the brand started and we're seeing some of it in action Which makes it all the more baffling that Lash Legend is still around if this is true. She's been in the system for over a year and hasn't improved at all. So it seems like this six month thing isn't an absolute rule. Can you please not with the wanting Lash Legend released |

Don't even watch anymore and Lumis surprises the hell out of me. I went out of my way to watch the wedding after hearing how hilarious it was. Definitely shocked He played his character so damn well. There were times where I wondered how the hell he was able to stay in character and not start laughing. The entire 'extended Gargano' family is nearly gone. Johnny wrestling is gone (though doing much greater things as a dad). Son in law Dexter was released. Friend of adopted daughter: Persia released. Candice may be released at some point. Adopted son Theory abandoned his family for Vince. Thankfully they didn't sign the doggie to a contract or else she'd be released likely. Sad thing is I could see Barrett being released at this rate. |

I love The Way even more than my own family!!! |

Was going to say Kai was the biggest loss but it looks like she told them she wasn’t re-signing, like Bivens, so it’s not a true cut.

Fightful Select said the Kai cut was because she had no desire to stick around and had pretty much indicated that she wasn't going to sign a new deal. Good for her, they misused her to the highest degree and she has better value than this I hope a lot of wrestlers indicate the same thing to WWE, they just have way more options now, hell for some of the women their potential OnlyFans and Subscriber services make them more than any wrestling contract it seems. Dakota can freely sign to a company and or work indies and probably be just fine without her career being wasted in WWE further I do wonder how these releases bode for someone like Xavier Woods too when the time comes. His whole Video Game channel is basically gone. It's him and Shayna as original members... that's it, WWE cut everyone else. |

I suspected this was gonna start happening more and more in the wake of Gargano etc they would walk away when the time came because clearly they see the writing on the wall. WWE wanted to bank on blank slates well have fun. |

Honestly as soon as The Way ended InDex was on like support. The teamnonf Indi and Persia just didn't have the chemistry of Indi and Candice and their weaknesses were highlighted.
Dexter was also treading water. I don't think thr angle with Duke was getting over either.
When Dakota didn't get called up was a matter of time.
Shocked a bit by Harland but honestly after seeing him before he signed and then after he got on tv he just... didn't look good

They cut her though, technically, they didn't let the contract run out so I assume she has a 30 day no compete She just told them "I don't plan to re-sign" and they ripped the band aid off. Bivens it seems was already done and his contract expired. |

They clearly didn't really see anything in her, and while I agree with them in that regard, good on her for telling them rather than sticking about if they were just crushing her enthusiasm. Some people can take the money and suck it up, some cant or dont want to, and I'll always respect someone who says nope and has faith in themselves whatever I think of their skills.== |

Hardly a surprise, she went in a matter of weeks from getting an actual story and development to being Mandy's filler match despite some backstory already there and the last OG for Mandy to beat. It was something that deserved least a couple weeks build. Instead they tossed it away. If she expressed desire to leave prior perhaps they figured it wasn't worth more, but still out of respect for someone who was loyal to them for 5-6 years, they should have waited to Spring Breakin to do the match. They didn't even give her a send off after the show like others got. |

Again, what's the point of getting invested in these stories and characters if there's a chance they can be released out of nowhere? Lol. There isn't one. That's why I stopped.  |

It makes sense if Vince likes Lash Legend and that makes him see past the lack of workrate It always matters if Vince or someone in the back likes you. For whatever reason they might. |

If you told me a year ago that the only person to potentially survive the InDex storyline and still be employed by 2022 would be f***ing Austin Theory I think I would have looked at you cross eyed
Indi and Candice are still employed for now but like... seriously.
