On the 12th of September, the landscape of WWE changed forever after the completion of the historic merger.

While the first SmackDown post-merger saw the return of Dwayne Johnson after an absence of 4 years as a positive sign, things have still been shaky on the talent side. With a few credible people being released by the company, they have now shockingly released active wrestlers.

According to multiple reports, WWE has released the Grizzled Young Veterans from the organization. For those unversed, the team comprised James Drake and Zack Gibson. In WWE, however, they performed under the name The Dyad with individual names as Jagger Reid and Rip Fowler, respectively. 

These two gentlemen, along with Joe Gacy and Ava, initially consisted of the group called Schism on NXT. They reportedly let their contracts expire and eventually, WWE released them on the 14th of September. The release left a dejected Ava to take to her social media to acknowledge their exit with just one powerful emoji.

 It’s completely understandable for the young star to feel that way, considering they were part of a faction for months. The news especially hurts The Rock’s fans considering how elated they were last week to see their beloved superstar come back to WWE.
