The joke isn't funny anymore.

Literally so - Tye Dillinger didn't even make it into the Royal Rumble, let alone at the spot that once satisfied loud commands of capacity crowd.

Bad booking, no booking, and injury-based neglect kept Dillinger from the hearts and minds of the audience, but at no point has been asked back despite for so long being one of the most requested.

Another survivor that fought his way through multiple developmental systems to get this current opportunity, Tye's time may be up in WWE, but his work may be of interest to others. All Elite Wrestling will need named talent to do jobs and/or do very good jobs indeed, and Dillinger's got a deft touch for both.

What he'll lack in signature poses, he'll make up for in genuine charisma and an all-important slice of grit. Everything's rarely gone to plan or all that easily for the 'Perfect Ten', but that's not to say his final opportunity might yet be the best of all.
