According to Wrestling Observer Live’s Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez, there’s more to the story of Bodhi Hayward being released from WWE this week.

The release came as a bit of a surprise to fans considering he was in the middle of a storyline with Chase University. Alvarez explained why WWE ultimately made the decision to cut ties with Hayward.

Here’s what he had to say:

All I will say, because I don’t know all of the details, but there was stuff going on. I guess the easiest way to describe it is apparently Bodhi was a handful. So it wasn’t just ‘well, let’s get rid of this guy’ or whatever. But I did hear from multiple people that it wasn’t just ‘we’re gonna cut some folks, we’re gonna cut this person who was right in the middle of a storyline.’ There was more to Bodhi’s story. That’s really all I can say because I don’t know what the more is. But you know, you got a bunch of guys and whatever and they’re in Florida and there’s a loop and god only knows what can happen.

Alvarez added that the other names released alongside Hayward were likely due to them not improving. He added that he heard there were six releases, so one name might not have hit the public yet.

Hayward was released alongside with Sloane Jacobs, Eric Yan, Damaris Griffin, and Ru Feng.
