Heath Slater had been a WWE mainstay for more than a decade. He made his main roster debut way back in 2010 when he came up alongside his NXT cohorts to wreak havoc on Monday Night RAW.
Slater managed to secure a spot in WWE as an enhancement talent, while the other members kept getting released one after the other over the course of several years, with the exception of Daniel Bryan.
Slater was among the many Superstars who were let go of recently by WWE as part of budget cuts amidst the coronavirus pandemic. It would certainly be interesting to see where Slater ends up going, and whether he manages to make a return to WWE somewhere down the line, like how Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal did in the past.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
