10 WWE Stars Released In 2019

8. Rhyno

Signed: February 2015.

Left: July 2019.

10 years went by between runs in WWE for ex-ECW 'Man Beast' Rhyno. Hilariously for someone who cut his teeth as an intense heel, Rhyno's latter-day run as a cheese-cracker-eating babyface alongside Heath Slater actually worked out, and the team became the first SmackDown Tag Champs post-2016 Draft.

That was the height of his second stint. After that, it was all down hill for he who favours the 'Y' instead of the 'I' (in WWE, at least). Rhyno was given a pay day as part of the Battle Royal crowd at 'Mania 35 before announcing some indy dates and quietly departing the company; weirdly, WWE let the still-technically-contracted Rhyno appear under a mask for Impact in July.

RIP Easy Cheese.
