Now, as per a report on Fightful Select, the reason thestar was let go was because there were never plans for him on the main roster. The other reason given for his release was that he had already been on NXT for five years and had not made the jump to the main roster.

Now that he has been let go, a reunion with the rest of the Rascalz will see them quickly as one of the most heavily booked teams on the indies.

Ridge Holland was also let go while in the middle of an injury. While the company will pay for his recovery from injury, he will not be paid for the time after his contract expires till the time that he can wrestle again. He announced it on his social media.

"I've been informed that WWE will not be renewing my contract when it ends on November 14th. WWE are still going to cover my rehab from injury but my guaranteed pay will end, quite frustrating to say the least as I cannot work for another 6 months due to the aforementioned injury, with a family of 5 to support," he wrote.

There's no certainty when he will return to the ring.
