The Miztourage really didn't need the departure of their fearless leader from Monday Night Raw, despite the storyline calling for them to wilfully abandon 'The A-Lister' on his final night.

Bo Dallas may survive thanks to his brother's access to a literal lake of reincarnation via newfound friend Matt Hardy, but a reinvention for Curtis Axel to even put him on par with his legendary father seems agonisingly out of reach.

One of the last survivors from the most barren period in WWE talent development history, Axel clung on after a poisoned runs as Michael McGillicutty and the least convincing 'Paul Heyman Guy' ever, but there looks to be no more last chances left for the less-than-'perfect' progeny.
