The Future Endeavors Have Begun

Axel has a tonne of upside. Problem is he's been buried for almost his entire career.

Axel has a tonne of upside. Problem is he's been buried for almost his entire career.

Are you his mum?

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Maybe.

The bloke can work, and from his New Nexus run can also be a convincing heel. He’s had stupid or silly undercard gimmicks pretty much ever since, with the exception of his brief run with Heyman. However that was shot once Lesnar returned.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Some AEW releases today:

- Jimmy Havoc
- Sadie Gibbs
- Bea Priestley

While COVID has been the reason for all 3 being released as they are not based in the US, Havoc & Priestley would most likely be fallout for the speaking out movement.

AOP released

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Andrade Almas got his wish granted. Wonder where he will turn up, and whether he returns to La Sombra or a different name again?

 

[Marshall_magic]

Another talent that got to the main roster and nobody had a clue how to use him. Would have a good run of 2-3 months then not be seen again for 6 weeks before jobbing to a comedy character.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Here come the post WM releases:

- Wesley Blake
- Peyton Royce
- Billie Kay
- Samoa Joe
- Tucker Knight
- Chelsea Green
- Mickie James
- Kalisto
- Bo Dallas

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Of those, Joe will find a job quickly, followed by Chelsea Green and the Iconics. Kalisto & Dallas will probably land on their feet as well. The rest, who knows.

 

[Rhyno]

Wow can’t believe they released Billie

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Add Mojo Rawley to the list.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Wow can’t believe they released Billie

They were doomed when they broke up the Iconics so early. They needed each other: Peyton is the better worker, Billie is the better talker.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

AEW should be all over Billie/Peyton to help bolster their woman's division.

At the moment the lack of personality is holding back the division more than in ring work. Adding Royce and Kay would take some of the burden off Britt to carry the division.

Joe will land wherever he's keen to go.

The rest - meh.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

More releases today:

- Braun Strowman
- Alastair Black
- Santana Garrett
- Lana
- Buddy Murphy
- Ruby Riott

 

[Rhyno]

Shocked to see Braun gone

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Braun is definitely the biggest surprise in that list. The rest not so much, although Black apparently had a new theme ready for SmackDown and his new shirt is still available for pre-order, so that seems rather last-minute.

 

[Eelementary]

More releases today:

- Braun Strowman
- Alastair Black
- Santana Garrett
- Lana
- Buddy Murphy
- Ruby Riott

Only shocks on that list imo are Braun, and Murphy.

But talent-wise, it's a shame to see Riott, Murphy, Strowman, and Black leave.

The WWE is f**ked.

Hey, I know - let's see Bobby Lashley VS Drew McIntyre for the 20th time! And how about Orton VS The Fiend 27? That's bound to get people back watching!

 

[Marshall_magic]

Blacks papers have been marked ever since Vega got fired. Murphy has had the makings of some good pushes but they never get followed up on. Riott is a shock as she is one of the better women on the roster. Braun is a huge shock but they really messed up with the opportunity to make him a megastar. As a result he’s bounced between main event threat and comedy character.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Heaps of NXT and 205 Live releases today. Main ones of note are Fandango, Tyler Breeze and Killian Dain.

 

[nöyd]

Breeze is a major sacking - for Xavier Woods YouTube channel. He appeared more on there than on wwe TV.
