Okay here's one where I legit said: HE'S STILL ON THE ROSTER? He's been more a coach/producer for NXT than wrestler for the last year or so I guess.

There can't be that much more to cut without it deeply impacting the product negatively. I mean, they're still misusing certain of their talents but they can't afford to cut anymore without the TV ratings sliding to the point at which the networks might have to rethink their deals. I don’t think TV ratings are at-risk of sliding due to cutting talent, unless they start cutting premiere, featured names (more along the lines of Wyatt, Danielson, Strowman) rather than the lower to mid-card talent that they usually cut.

Dude's really trying to avoid Harland.

Dude is a great asset wherever he goes. Underrated in the ring and backstage.

I'd be interested to see if this is related to his match with Harland suddenly not happening after they shot an angle to lead to it.

Legitimately didn’t know he was still with the company until like a month ago when Harland threw him down a flight of stairs. Still didn’t realize it was him until they said it was. Lol

With his they're cutting people they'll have no one to make featured names. You need people to become names and people to put them over. You can say a Kendrick or Ali won't hurt ratings but when it comes time for Breakerrr to move up, those are guys he'll be needing.

It's likely a bit of both, all his friends got released, his work has mainly been on the shows that got re-tooled, and given the time frame, I'd assume he was close to Regal. Asking for his release could have been WHY the angle was dropped.

I was assuming he was one of the backstage firings... clearly he was not.
if a producer doesn't want to be there... forcing them seems like a bad idea.

Which, if the timeframe is correct, he was asking for his release around the time the PC firings happened so if you’re firing a bunch of people and someone wants to go…you might as well let them go, right? EDIT: Hell, they just accepted Scotty Too Hotty’s release request.

This has gotta be the most bizarre case of not letting someone go yet. 6 weeks? ?? Jesus.

Six weeks ago, eh? Week of December 14? The same week the Supreme Court rejected the request to block NY vaccine mandate for health workers? The same week the "Log4j" software vulnerability was revealed to potentially compromise thousands of tech firms? The same week the House voted to ban imports from China's Xinjiang on Labor Concerns? The 35th anniversary of Armando Valladares' Cuban prison memoirs "Against All Hope" hitting bookstore shelves? The 110th anniversary of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen becoming the first man to reach the South Pole?
WAKE UP, SHEEPLE! IT'S ALL CONNECTED!

So I think Brian Kendrick got the release. 2.0 and Brian Kendrick are creating an interesting new tradition of "Leave NXT and fight Jon Moxley" lmfao
