Off topic a bit but I do feel WWE should stop hiring from the Indies and just concentrate on making their own talents from the ground up as yet another triple h indie\international signing has yet again bit the dust. Apart from a few not many of Hunters signings have gone on to amount to much on the main roster.Let them work elsewhere to be appreciated and make your own stars WWE. I think there's a happy medium. For awhile, even before AEW started, WWE was hiring anybody with even a little bit of buzz and it was confirmed by a bunch of wrestlers who were in NXT. But you do need a mix of talent because not everybody is going to catch on at the same pace... or at all. So you need to have a mixed group... but I do think WWE should focus on younger indy wrestlers.

Poor Grizzled Young Vets if Roddy can be freed but they can't tbh Is the way of asking for a release. One asks and is denied until another makes a request. "Come on, let me leave!" "No." "Ohh i'll be your friend?" "No." "Ohh you're mean!"

He's still in the hospital with a neck brace in my head canon. If he ever comes back, he needs to show up in a neck brace. LOL

There's nothing inherently wrong with them signing from indies I don't think, the issue was the way they indiscriminately signed absolutely everyone regardless of how much actual effort they intended to put into using them. The majority of the indie signings they made were not going to "make it" on the main roster - and that's not a knock on any of them, just how it is - and it was not beneficial to anyone to just gobble up every wrestler they could like they did. And Roderick Strong outside of NXT and the Undisputed Era was one of those wrestlers, unfortunately.

Green vs green talent usually leads to botches and injuries

Things fall through

WCW Nitro existed for 2031 days. Roddy Strong's WWE career lasted 2370 days.

Do you still get a free Roderick Strong when you buy a Creed Brother? This deal has officially expired. Sorry, folks. But you can get a free Big Body Javi when you buy a Tatum Paxley.

It's very possible his contract just expired. Newz says this is exactly what it was. It apparently expired in November. He's taken some time off for family stuff and to heal up nagging things, and now he's healthy and clear.

There’s just a lot of stuff here that I’m surprised nobody has been able to properly answer.
Like, either they were happy to let his contract expire in November after making a big deal about not letting him go in May or they were blindsided by the fact that he went at all making me question how small their legal department is with that stuff.
What surprises me is that nobody leaked out a single thing about it when WWE’s been pretty brazen with leaking stuff to media about people going before unless they were completely blindsided like they were with Malakai Black’s contract and such. Like, this isn’t Kole Carter or someone like that, this was a guy who was a big part of NXT at one point and someone AEW would have jumped at the chance to sign when the UE were more in their prime and he just…went? It’s so weird.

Also Meltzer said last month that Strong was still under contract and WWE was just choosing not to use him so what the hell?

Yeah, like…the surprise of him showing up on Dynamite was cool but it’d be sort of like if Ricky Starks randomly showed up and saved Cody from a beatdown. There would be a case of finding out what the heck happened here.
