25 Most Revealing WWE Instagram Posts Of The Week (May 8th)
Spring cleaning, Star Wars and recycled memes...
It's that time of year again: hot on the trail of WrestleMania, Vince and the suits have dusted off their guillotine and started cutting off heads. The dreaded Spring Clean this year wasn't exactly bursting with surprises, but the revelation of Damien Sandow's departure hit a lot of fans hard, and sacking Hornswoggle will no doubt make Vince's kayfabe family gatherings pretty awkward going forward.
This week also saw Ryback ironically speaking up for the little guys in his contract dispute with WWE (which got a painful kiss of death by Cameron just before she bit her own bullet), and Bobby Roode and Eric Young flirted further with signing their own contracts. Presumably they have less issue with booking their own hotels than Ryback does.
Elsewhere, Seth Rollins' impending return was again heralded, while Randy Orton's was apparently delayed, and Enzo Amore became the latest star to be struck down by the Popularity curse that seems amazingly to strike down anyone threatening to get over with the crowd. They need to start injecting the roster with Roman Reigns blood for protection.
There was also a hint that WrestleMania might return to New York. The roster, obviously were way too busy with selfies, major film releases and showing off their workouts to be concerned with any of that, though.
This was the week in WWE Instagram...
25. Bye Guys
In the absence of any official acknowledgement by the WWE account - or any still-hired talent - the responsibility of paying tribute to the ousted roster stars mostly fell to the fans.
This was easily one of the most fun: remembering the unheralded victims of the culling - the left-over wrestling figures who won't get their chance to sell at full-price ever again.
