Is WWE Trying to Make People Forget About Tyson Kidd?

At this point, it’s pretty safe to say that Tyson Kidd’s WWE career is over. But, why is it that WWE hasn’t acknowledged him, or even shown him on their reality show, Total Divas? The answer is simple, they’re trying to make people forget about the former Tag Team Champion.

On Saturday’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer was asked about both Droz — a wrestler who was paralyzed during a WWE house show in the late 90s — and Tyson Kidd, and whether or not they are still getting paid by WWE. You can check out Meltzer’s response below.

“Droz? No. I don’t think Droz is still under contract [with WWE]. Droz sued the company years ago, so I don’t know… He probably got a settlement.”

“Tyson Kidd, I think he’ll probably have something for a long time. I’m not exactly sure. The Tyson Kidd thing is a really weird situation. Part of it is because Natalya still works there, and it’s just weird because I believe that there probably would’ve been legal action except you don’t wanna sue the company that’s got your wife hired. But it’s interesting because obviously on Total Divas, Tyson Kidd — TJ Wilson — doesn’t exist even though Natalya is all over the show. When they go and film Natalya at home, they’re not allowed to film him at all. It was a company directive that they don’t want to remind people of this guy.”
