Releasing Harland is suspect. I wonder if he had a bad attitude

Don’t do this crap. Tacky as hell to want someone non problematic to lose their job. I don’t see what is wrong with this statement. They’re not saying “FIRE MANDY ROSE!!!!” They’re just stating it’s sad that some like Kai loses her job while others who are seen as inferior workers are still around. That’s not the same thing as saying “OMG THEY FIRED DAKOTA? FIRE MANDY NOW!” People can state thoughts/observations without it being an attack. Not all dudes/dudettes deserve the luxury of being granted objectivity

Pointing out how someone still has a job when you think they shouldn’t because you don’t think they are as talented as someone who just lost their job is tacky. I stand by what I said.

AEW is going to have a lot of “game changers” debuting in a few months.

Dexter Lumis is a head scratcher, but it is what it is. Dakota will do great away from WWE and I honestly think that's a bad move by them.

And so it begins.
Kai isn't all that surprising, Dexter and Harland both are.
I fully expect kai to show up in aew pending visa renewals etc (not saying I expect Nixon Newell to show up, but she was having visa problems which is why she hasn't been doing any shows). But that's the only one on the list really besides maybe Bivens as a mouth piece. I was gonna say "in b4 the lame ass LoL DaRK" jokes started, but man they're quick on the trigger.

Sad they’d let proven talent like kai go and keep Mandy rose Listening to the Ember/Athena interview that just dropped. And some have the nerve to criticize AEW women devsion looking at you Becky cringe. But at least they aren’t lied to or worse forced to wear revealing clothes. in the Name of a bogus revolution. Becky is one of the best women on the main roster

Just like any other time when this stuff happens,I hope everybody finds a place to land. Wherever Dexter and Dakota ends up ill definitely will be watching,really enjoyed both for different reasons obviously. I thought if Dakota stayed injured free she could become a champion on the main roster and Dexter is the type that doesn't have to be a Bryan,AJ or Omega in the ring for him to be entertaining.

I don't think these are as surprising as people are making them out to be.
Dexter Lumis, for as much as I like him and have been a fan of his run in NXT, is one dimensional and has a pretty obvious ceiling. He's played pretty much the same character since TNA and I think that holds him back a bit. I think the biggest loss in regards to him is his partnership with Indi Hartwell. I do really like him though and I hope to see him in the future.
Dakota Kai is an interesting one because she had a few dark tryout matches recently but I guess those didn't go too well for her and she never got brought onto the main roster. I can't say I ever became a fan of her or anything and I've always felt like she was always overshadowed by her contemporaries.
Harland wasn't that big of a surprise. Although he was touted as the next Brock Lesnar when he got signed, it is really hard to even be half as good as Lesnar and I guess WWE saw that he didn't have it in him.
Malcolm Bivens is the biggest loss of this whole thing for me. Though he wasn't a legit release (he didn't resign with the company so this is probably more beneficial for him in regards to getting work elsewhere sooner) I feel like he had such potential for a main roster spot as a manager or even continuing doing big things for guys in NXT. Diamond Mine has been a highlight of wrestling as a whole for me as long as they've been around (even in their different incarnations) and it sucks that the heart and soul of the group is gone, but I guess he wants to explore other opportunities so that's no biggie.
Overall I think the releases in this batch were not the biggest stars in the world. Sucks to see anyone lose their jobs obviously but I think they'll all land on their feet eventually.
