WWE TV, Rumours and Discussion - Part VII

[Loonerty]

just working indies

This is not as bad a thing as it maybe used to be though.

A few of them might pop up on every once in a while as well.

 

[RossFC]

Eva Marie and Nia Jax should never be on a wrestling show ever again.

 

[Chops18]

Wonder if all these releases have anything to do with ROH releasing all their talent and WWE are making space for new signings or their library.

well they would have had to have spent up big on Brock, Cena and Goldberg that they brought in recently…

Yeah aye I can totally see them sacking Keith Lee and Karrion Kross to make room for Matt ****ing Taven.

Wasn’t Lee and Kross, guys that HHH brought in?

 

[MadMundy]

I feel Kross could easily go back to Impact now that Callis isn't there anymore and can't **** him and Scarlett over like he did last time.

If WWE want 6’4, 260 pound guys. They shouldn’t be signing anyone from ROH. Especially after they just cut Keith Lee.

If NXT was still a glorified indy rather than a developmental, you’d be seeing Jay Lethal and the Briscoes sitting in the crowd at a now defunct NXT Takeover show.

 

[winty]

Just a little bit of turnover in the last couple of years...

 

[NSWCROW]

Never thought i'd despise Vince but here we are.

 

[winty]

Could make a decent women's division out of the talent they've released over the last 2 years - Sarah Logan, Deonna Purrazzo, Tay Conti, Serena Deeb, Kairi Sane, Jazzy Gabert, Mercedes Martinez, Billie Kay, Peyton Royce, Chelsea Green, Mickie James, Ruby Riott, Santana Garrett, Mia Yim, Ember Moon and Scarlett Bordeaux.

 

[brutus76]

Vince giving early Thanksgiving pink slips..... what a man!

Yim and Lee and Scarlett and Kross to Impact

Moon if she gets healthy and maybe changes to a more ground based style (keep the Eclipse though) AEW

Harry Smith needs a mouthpiece - Callis?

 

[MadMundy]

I've seen people online saying that Vince has completely undone and ruined all of the work and effort Triple H has put into building up NXT into a respectable brand and guys for the future, and while it sucks to see people lose their jobs.......good. I don't want Triple H holding any creative or booking power because he's absolutely terrible at booking, the less power he has the better.

 

[Lynchy04]

Still can’t comprehend how they could release Lee and Kross in particular yet still have the likes of Drake Maverick , Towaza, Ryker , Mahal and Elias.

The brand split is surely coming to an end sooner than later? I mean on Raw you have what Rollins and Lashley as legit the only two top level heels without a decent mid card heel?

Smackdown is light on for top faces to battle Reigns all signs are pointing towards the end of the brand split sooner than later?

 

[Xtreme]

Nia Jax has been released

The Rock dislikes this

also expect the next WWE 2K video game to be delayed having to chop and change the roster all the time!

 

[MadMundy]

Apparently most of the people that got released were cut because they refused to get vaccinated. Supposedly the 4 confirmed so far who refused were Kross, Scarlett, Eva and Nia. Apparently more refused.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Why do the wrestlers have “no where to go?”

ROH is gone. BritWres is cooked (which more or less cooked the rest of Britain, Ireland and Germany as well.)

The pandemic cost dozens of indies in the US.

The Japanese companies, for the most part, still aren't bringing in foreign based gaijin (I believe Japan's COVID restrictions are still tight.)


Given the size of AEW's roster already, unless you're an absolute standout they can't keep bringing in guys as charity cases. Impact isn't playing on anything like a level financial playing field. MLW and NWA Power are glorified indies. New Japan Strong fits bizarrely in the middle of all these.

So given that list of people released this year, I think it's fair to say there's "nowhere to go" for a lot of them.

 

[Colonial]

They have a right to say no to the vaccine.
The company also has a right to release someone who won’t follow their processes/policies.

 

[ULTIMATE_WARRIOR]

I don’t think any of these releases will realistically affect WWE TV at all.

Did they get released coz of that?

 

[Colonial]

Supposedly 2 confirmed. Nia is one.

 

[Colonial]

WWE 2K devs right now.

 

[MirosWife]

Supposedly 2 confirmed. Nia is one.

Why doesn’t it surprise me one of them is Nia haha

 

[Lynchy04]

Thank **** she is gone.

Seriously if they don’t promote a group like LA Knight etc the rosters are so thin. A lot of repetitive matches as is already. Mid card roster has been slashed.
KO and Zayn could be gone soon to.

You say most and then you list 4?
Got a source that it's more than that?

Also, I didn't hit the quote button on it but your "I'm glad Triple H's NXT torn apart" thing is so ridiculous. NXT under Hunter was widely considered the best wrestling you could find, not just the matches but the storytelling as well.
