He says he misses wrestling, but worked for WWE for four years. His quote speaks volumes.

Cutting Sandow would be a mistake. He makes money but so does Orton.
Unfortunately, the Universe hasn't had the chance to invest in Sandow yet.
It appears he's there to put over Adam Rose, so they clearly have 'something' for him

Well, RR was pretty good. Even recently when he was just the spanish commentator, he managed to be entertaining by pleading with any wrestler that was about to break the spanish announce table to break the american one for a change.

I'm kind of wondering if Khali will be used to put Roman Reigns over. I'd count on the smallish wrestlers to be released first because squashing a small jobber means far less.

Coming to terms sounds more like he requested it imo, not sure I'd call this a cut if that makes sense. Shame he was a fun worker.

He made me like Del Rio as a face, actually. Too bad, but hope he gets to showcase his talents. Wonder who else is leaving now...
