10 Best WWE Moments From Wrestlers Who Just Got Released
4. Heath Slater's Got Kids
Despite ending up being used as a jobber team on RAW before Rhyno was ultimately released, there was a time when he and Heath Slater were one of the hottest acts on SmackDown. In fact, a major highlight for the one-time 3MB member came at Backlash in 2016 when he and the ECW legend managed to defeat The Usos to become the inaugural SmackDown Tag Team Champions.
With a fantastic trailer trash gimmick which saw Slater just trying to provide for his many, many children, fans found a reason to root for the Superstar who wasn't drafted by RAW or SmackDown during that year's first WWE Draft (he would later earn a spot on the blue brand).
Soon, chants of "He's Got Kids!" filled arenas, and Rhyno was clearly having a blast tucking into cheese crackers and hanging out in Slater's trailer. Slater delivered some career-best performances during this time, but the unlikely pairing picking up the titles remains perhaps their most memorable moment.
It's unfortunate that their run didn't last a little longer, and an even greater shame that Slater's time with WWE has now reached its end, but here's hoping he brings this gimmick back somewhere.
