I said it before, Grimes came up to the main roster with no gimmick, almost no reference of what he did in NXT. No mic time, nothing.

He was supposed to get over by being generic wrestler number 5. Was doomed to fail

Yeah his feud with Corbin was the most boring, basic stuff. "I'm here to wrestle and I'll beat you tonight" what was the point

And I don't think he's done anything other than random matches every few weeks outside of that for an entire year, not to mention he disappeared from NXT for awhile before even making that main roster debut

Fwiw Meltzer also said he was surprised by the Von Wagner release until it was told to him that he and Xyon were considered "main roster talents" after being drafted last year as free agents despite never doing a single thing.

So basically this is cutting main roster talent they don't have plans for. Is Odyssey Jones still there? He was a free agent that never got used last year too

Yeah at the end of the day not every single wrestler is gonna have plans unfortunately. That’s just the way it is. Even if they are talented.

He still works house shows where I don't think these guys were much so maybe that saves him but he would mostly fit the criteria. Cedric and Ashante I wouldn't be surprised about too, it's been a few weeks since they formed and had like one vignette

Don't see them releasing Omos personally, they're probably fine with him having him appear sporadically. Like I wouldn't even be surprised if he ends up against Bron in the not too distant future.

Him and Cedric Alexander started teaming up

That doesnt mean anything. When they called the first Hit Row up, Swerve got released like a few weeks later.

Yeah they had one vignette maybe a month and a half ago and haven't been on SmackDown since. It's not looking good
