WWE has released a number of Superstars since 2020 and some of the names have been very surprising. The world was shocked last year when the company announced that both Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt had been let go.
Big Damo, formerly known as Killian Dain, was still with WWE at the time Wyatt and Strowman were released. During a recent appearance on the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling, Big Damo explained that the releases made a big impression on the rest of the roster.
“I think once they let go of Bray and Braun, every single person on that roster was like, ‘Yeah, all bets are off now.’ The year before that, there was a little period where I wasn’t on TV at all. COVID had just started, I was struggling for TV time. I think a lot of people were, actually, because they [WWE] were struggling to know how to put TV together.”
While Bray Wyatt wasn’t appearing on TV at the time of his release it seemed that WWE still had plans for Big Damo as he was working a storyline with former WWE 24/7 Champion Drake Maverick.
“When I got released, I was in the PC [Performance Center], I was training some of the younger talent,” Damo continued. “I’d just been told by Terry Taylor that we’ve got this gimmick, me and Drake Maverick are doing this thing on Tuesday, and it was quite a cool gimmick. I was like, ‘That’s kinda cool, looking forward to it,’ and then you get released and you’re like, ‘Oh s***.’”
