Brodus Clay had quite a successful run in WWE as The Funkasaurus before he was joined by Tensai and the duo became known as Tons of Funk.

This was where former SmackDown Women's Champion Naomi got her start in WWE before Brodus turned heel, which marked the end of the popular group. Despite his heel turn gaining a lot of attention from the WWE Universe, it seems that Clay wasn't receiving a push off the back of it as he went on a losing streak after starting a rivalry with newcomer Xavier Woods.

After being sent down to NXT and becoming a rival for Neville over the NXT Championship, it seemed as though things were finally looking up for Clay, so it came as a shock that only weeks later Clay was released from the company on June 12, 2014.

Clay has since been known as Tyrus as part of Impact Wrestling but back in August, he announced that he had been granted his release from the promotion.
