Are you ignoring the fact that WWE hired them in the first place? If there was no plan for them, why hire them in the first place? Some of these guys have been on the roster for just months and they've already been released. That's a very confused and chaotic company.
And secondly, why give someone a "promotion", place them on tv and fire them days after??!?
That doesn't at all make any sense at all and is needlessly cruel. That's just a toxic work environment.
