You can add former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Christian to the list of WWE talents that have been released in the past week. His release has nothing to do with his agreement to do The Edge & Christian Show and is more of a technicality do to him no longer having an active performer’s contract. Christian received a concussion in March 2014 and WWE then decided to stop using him due to his history with concussions.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is also reporting that there were several internal lists going around last week and two other names on the lists that have not been released yet were Ryback and Adam Rose.
Rose is still serving a 60-day suspension due to suffering his second wellness policy violation. He is also currently under arrest following a domestic battery charge involving an incident with his wife. On top of his 60-day suspension he is now also suspended indefinitely.
Ryback has recently been very outspoken against the company and has not been used by WWE since his outspoken comments.
