Darren Young is so fucked
Unless he does something really stupid, I highly doubt it. Given that he's just began an angle with Bob Backlund. Plus being the first openly gay man under contract is good PR for WWE, they can't afford to cut D-Young

WWE does not want that PR nightmare dude. They've caved for smaller things when it comes to GLAAD and other LGBT organisations

Sandow now too, damn. I saw that one coming but I still really hate it. The dude got a big crowd reaction in every arena he went in. They easily could have given him some kind of mid-card run but what do I know. Wish him the best for sure.

They'll probably think of something dumb to bring Hornswoggle back for, Zeb Colter hadn't done anything in a while. Had to look up who Alex Riley was, meh. Everyone knew Barrett was going, and hadn't Santino retired a while ago? Cameron was pretty much useless too, so no loss there.

Santino broke his neck back in 2014. Feel bad for the guy, ngl.

Barrett is going to be the next Galloway for sure, minus the move to TNA. If he's smart.

So right now:
Hornswoggle - Not gonna be missed, he was just for the kids really
Sandow - thanks Sandow... :(
Barrett - thanks Barrett... :(
Riley - had so much potential, then came Cena
Colter - lol MexAmerica surely killed him
Cameron - FINALLY, now what's your favorite match again? Melina vs. Alicia Fox? Fuck outta here
Santino - Thought he was retired?

I know WWE does an annual talent purge almost every year, but I still don't see the point in cutting a lot of these people. Just use them as jobbers, it's not like the company doesn't need those as well.

There's a performance center with about 100 male roster talents alone down in Florida if they need to fatten a house show or say a Rumble out. And for jobbers there is always local talent who will gladly bump for anyone on the roster for less money just so they can say they've been in a WWE ring.

All of these releases have been talent who have been with the company for a long time (like 5 years minimum) and they have given up on in some way or another (Santino more because of his neck forcing him to retire).
