There is no doubting the talent of the three men that have been released. But the fact of the matter is that WWE wasn't doing too much with them anyway, with the possible exception of Itami on 205 Live.

None of the three men that were released were household names in the vein of Dean Ambrose or even as well known as Cody Rhodes was, when he left the WWE system. This is especially criminal in the case of TJP, who came in with a lot of fanfare winning the Cruiserweight Classic tournament.

Tye Dillinger on SmackDown Live and Hideo Itami on NXT lost a lot of momentum owing to their injuries. All of the steam that they had dissipated because they had to miss months of action owing to their injuries.

Maybe all three men can reinvent themselves in the independents and return someday!
