Championship Contender
Not to many surprises here. Zeb, Hornswoggle, El Torito, Cameron and Santino would have been on a lot of people's lists of superstars needing to be released and it was common knowledge that king Barrett wanted to leave so there is no real surprise there either. The only two that I found surprising were Sandow and Riley. Sandow was still incredibly over with the crowd when he did appear and in my opinion was a far better worker then some of the other Superstars on the Roster. Riley on the other hand may not have been as over as Sandow, but was still a good talent and was only just reintroduced on NXT with a new more aggressive gimmick which seemed to work pretty well, so I would have though WWE would have given him more time to develope but letting him go. Neither guy will find it hard getting signed somewhere else. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before both men as well as King Barrett are back on TV again. I imagine TNA, ROH and NJPW would be interested in signing all three.
