There’s your explanation. WWE has been releasing wrestlers left and right over the last year and a half and there is nothing to suggest that it is going to stop anytime soon. There have been some very surprising names released, which was the case again earlier this week. Now that a little time has passed, we know a bit more about why one of the wrestlers was let go.
Last week, WWE cut eight more wrestlers, including the entire Hit Row stable of Ashante Adonis, Isaiah Scott and Top Dolla. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dolla had developed a reputation of being difficult backstage as he rubbed several people the wrong way in NXT. This was becoming the case again during his time on the main roster. WWE decided to cut him and Scott and Adonis were seen as being in the crossfire.
Hit Row did not have much time to develop into stars. Check out some of their time in WWE:
Opinion: I’m not sure what kind of a reputation Dolla had, but how many people get to host a WWE show of their own and then get put in a faction that is fast tracked to the main roster? How would you not have him develop a bit of an attitude as a result? Either way, unless he was tearing a locker room apart, this seems to be quite the overreaction and I’m not sure what that is going to mean for WWE in the future. For now, it means that they are going to be missing some potential breakout stars, which is never a good thing.
