That might be it? Wrestlers move up and down the WWE roster on a constant basis and it can be a bit tricky to keep track of everyone. So much moving around can make for some interesting changes when someone arrives elsewhere, and now we might be seeing it again. Some name changes this week might lead to a move down the line, or at least that is what is being hinted at.
This week on NXT, the Grizzled Young Veterans, comprised of James Drake and Zack Gibson, had their names changed to just Drake and Gibson, with the team name being dropped entirely. Following the show, the team released a video talking about their frustrations, followed by a tweet from Drake showing his empty locker. This could suggest that the team will be moving up to the main roster, though this has not been confirmed.
They’re dropping hints. Check out how the Veterans teased leaving:

Opinion: I can only hope that this leads to the team getting to do something, but odds are it means they come up to the main roster and get forgotten about in a few weeks before sitting around doing nothing for the rest of their contracts. WWE has already taken away the name they are best known by because it just wasn’t good enough anymore, so here we are again, waiting to see how talented wrestlers are wasted this time.
What do you think of the video? How will the team do wherever they go next? Let us know in the comments below.
