Has this one already happened too?

It appeared to be Sarah Logan cameoing underneath a viking helmet on Raw during The Street Profits' Axe Throwing battle with The Viking Raiders, and WWE's YouTube have gone to the trouble of documenting Drake Maverick's attempt to "save" his job as that grim angle continues unabated. Imagine the press and curiosity views the company could generate from reversing the calls made on what quickly became known as Black Wednesday.

We are long past the point were ethics can be applied to a situation such as this. WWE showed a total lack of them on that day, as they have done countless times in recent years. "Never say never" used to relate mostly to where wrestlers would work, but the location used to be WWE and WCW, not Saudi Arabia. It wouldn't be beyond the company to extend an invite back to several of the released wrestlers, just as it wasn't to let them go in the first place.

The numbers apparently just didn't add up in the last quarter. Imagine how some different ones might look by the end of the next one.
