“This Nick Khan stuff, and I mean, I’m sure it was probably Nick Khan for whatever reason an his job is to maximize profits whether it’s to sell the company and make it look good for a sale or make it look good for the stock market, or whatever it is.

They are getting rid of the people they don’t need or they’ve used up so they aren’t necessarily even that valuable on the outside.”

Some may even make their way back to the promotion and become stars. The precedent has already been set by Drew McIntyre and to an extent Jinder Mahal.
