Recently Departed WWE Superstar Returns At House Show

He’s not done just yet. Earlier this month on Monday Night Raw, Heath Slater defeated Rhyno in a match where the loser would be out of a job. While Slater has gone on to become a crooked referee, Rhyno seems to be looking for a new line of work. However, much like anything else in wrestling, there seems to be a little more to this than meets the eye.

According to Wrestlinginc.com, Rhyno appeared at a WWE house show on Friday in Nashville, despite losing his career earlier in the month. After being on the losing end of a six man tag, Curt Hawkins made an open challenge in hopes of breaking his losing streak, which has now lasted over two years. Hawkins issued an open challenge so Rhyno came through the crowd and Gored him without a match actually starting. There is no word on if or when Rhyno will return to WWE TV.

It was a hard way to go. Check out how Rhyno lost his job:

Opinion: I’m not sure how much value there is in pushing Rhyno at the moment, but I’ll give WWE some major points for just having some kind of a different storyline. This is a little bit outside of the norm and that’s the kind of thing that can help them out right now. The creative direction is quite stagnant at the moment and just trying something different might warm them up a bit.
