1) Tag Team Getting A New Gimmick?
According to a report from WrestlingNews.co, there is talk in WWE about giving The Forgotten Sons a new gimmick. This comes after the tag team was removed from television after Jaxson Ryker generated some heat in the WWE locker room.
It also sounds like WWE could be keeping Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake together but dropping Ryker from the group. Here is what the report says:
There has been talk of a new gimmick for Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake when they return to television. I don’t know when they will return to WWE TV but one person I spoke with says that their current gimmick won’t work now because of what is going on in the real world with the protests around the country.
As previously noted, there are several wrestlers in the company who were furious when they read Ryker’s comments on social media while a few others were willing to talk with him and try to help him understand why there is a Black Lives Matter movement. As of this writing, I have not heard anything yet on if Ryker has reached out to anyone in the locker room who was upset with him.
My Take:
- This is definitely what I see happening. Ryker was usually the guy who stands on the outside of the ring while Blake and Cutler work in the ring. It seems decently easy for WWE to just get rid of Ryker and change their names.
