Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Why Bronson Reed Was Released From WWE
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Vince McMahon didn’t see Bronson Reed on the WWE main roster. As a result, Vince didn’t think that they needed to keep him on the payroll.
Here is what Meltzer wrote:
Those internally said that when Reed got his tryout matches in recent weeks, that McMahon decided against him, and felt due that if he’s not going to be on the main roster, what is the point of keeping him. It was the same mentality regarding other cuts, including Bobby Fish, Mercedes Martinez and Tyler Rust, who were involved in current storylines, as well as Jake Atlas and Ari Sterling, who are new to the company but came in highly regarded. In the end, the decisions on all were made based on the idea that the decision makers didn’t see them as main roster talents and thus, why are they there.
My Take:
- I was definitely surprised at Reed’s release. I thought Vince would really enjoy his work.
4) NXT Stars Backstage At Smackdown

My Take:
