Bryan Alvarez discussed recent WWE departures and hinted that more could be on the way, specifically highlighting changes to The Miz’s social media presence that have fueled speculation about his status with the company. This conversation took place on Wrestling Observer Live today, following news of Sarah Logan (Valhalla) and the previously reported exits of R-Truth and Carlito.
Alvarez noted that after Sarah Logan’s contract expired and she announced her departure, he has “been told that might be others as well. So this might not be the end with Valhalla being released.”
The discussion then turned to The Miz. Alvarez pointed out a recent on-screen development and significant off-screen changes: “Miz has not been doing much lately, and on Friday, they did a segment he had just gotten put together with Carmelo Hayes as a tag team, and they were teasing a breakup on Friday… And this was right when they cut Truth and Carlito and now Sarah Logan and I’ve been told there were others.”
The primary cause for speculation, however, stems from The Miz’s social media activity. Alvarez reported, “And I bring up Miz, not just because of that angle, but if you go to his, his Twitter, I mean, there are no mentions of WWE… It no longer says the most must see WWE superstar. He removed all references to WWE. It now says ‘the most must read Twitter account of all time,’ and and that’s it.”
Alvarez added, “Now, I was told that he is doing the new season of American Gladiators or whatever. And so I know people are skeptical they would get rid of him now,” he didn’t dismiss the possibility. He pointed out the timing and the nature of Miz’s social media changes: “But he did remove references to WWE from his social media. And I just think it would be a pretty lame thing to do that if you’re not being released when everyone else has been released.”
Alvarez concluded: “So there might where there’s smoke, there could be fire, I will say that, but I guess we’ll find out as the week goes on.” This comes as Miz is reportedly taping “American Gladiators” in London, which could also explain a temporary storyline separation from Carmelo Hayes.
