    Probably not on their level name wise at least, but wouldn't be shocked if ADR is not a WWE employee in 24 hours.

    Big Show has a movie coming out so you can count him out.

    Surely Mysterio since he wants out? Why waste money on him when he doesnt want to be there?

    One would assume Rey is still worth a fair amount of money to WWE even if he isn't wrestling.

    He would also be costing them a fair amount. If you want to cut money, a high earner with no interest in staying would be a good place to start rather than potentially two, three or four cheaper guys who actually want to be there.

    There's a new promotion launching in North American with a powerhouse Hollywood producer that is focusing on Mexican-Americans.

    Not sure what his deal is today but Powerslam reported Big Show signed to a ten year 900k per year deal in 1999.

    Would WWE not want him as an agent and for his ambassador skillz?

    But enough about Khali...

    Sounds like there could be an almighty cull by the weeks end.

    Realistically who is the biggest name that could be on the chopping block?

    Alberto Del Rio

    Khali makes a fortune for them in India. Regardless of him being on tv or not, surely he gets kept around just for that.

    The Great Khali has a job for life in WWE because he is popular in India.

    Are we to expect a huge cut of talent going today or just a handful of talent/staff?

    Sin Cara worked a tag match with Kalisto on NXT last week, so in essence he replaced Rodriguez on that show last time out.

    el locale was horrible and stunk out the joint at nxt takeover. rodriguez should stop pretending to be a wrestler and stick to what he does best as a valet.

    Maybe before but now? Is he still a draw in India?

    He has celebrity like status in India. He is a big deal which is why despite being awful, they roll him out every now and then.

    There's stuff I revel in being right about and swing my dick around on but this isn't one of those things.

    NXT are releasing people as we speak.

    Whos potentially on the chopping block or is anyone safe? I imagine the names for Takeover are all safe.

    Of course. As I said elsewhere it is people who are returning after long term injury and those who are losing on recent TVs seems to be what they draw from going by pass releases. So for example Oliver Grey was released after his first match back after a year being out for a knee injury. Chris Hero was released after being DESTROYED on NXT TV.

    Talent evaluation is very Microsoft Excel based. Everything is monitored and I assume scored. The cut list is drafted in advance it is not just decided on the day.

    I assume then that Corey Graves could be done so being injured.

    They will keep Graves for legal reasons IMHO.

    Jody Kristofferson has announced he is released. THAT Kris Kristofferson's son and a Rosebud/comedy jobber:

    He may have done an NXT TV job match. But was a fixture on NXT live events doing a Rick Martel rip off Model gimmick.

    A lot of the male non-indie darling talent are very by the numbers.

    Heard there are several unexpected people. Baron Corbin seemingly being one.

    Triple H mentioned him on the last conference call in the same breath as Neville and Zayn.

    Big guy who going to be packaged with Vickie Guerrero daughter Shaul:

    PWInsider:
    Released were Garett Dylan, Travis Tyler, Slate Randall, Mac Miles and Dani Jax.

    Slate Randall was a true surprise. Was in a Reality TV show with The Rock and protege of Paul Bearer.
