Rumor Roundup: Backstage Note On Kalisto’s Release, Major Backstage Firing In WWE, More

1) Backstage Note On Kalisto’s Release From WWE

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Kalisto wanted out of the Lucha House Party faction. This seemingly led to his release from the company.

Here is what Meltzer wrote about Kalisto:

Over time Kalisto grew unhappy about being part of an act that was booked as prelim jokes. He even made a tweet about it. Kalisto kept asking out of the group and was continually told no. But Dorado asked if he and Metalik could be the team since Kalisto wanted out anyway, so they shot the angle for the split. There were never any plans to do anything with the split and it was just a way to pacify Kalisto. But the other two kept being brought to TV, whether to lose or work Main Event or occasionally get a win, even if was to be bodies to chase the 24/7 brigade while Kalisto simply wasn’t booked anymore and was cut

My Take:

  • I always liked Kalisto. I think that he will find success in whatever he does next. Can’t blame him for wanting more for himself.
