Mace and Mansoor almost worked with Cody Rhodes.
WWE released over a dozen of its wrestlers on Thursday. Following the company's sale to Endeavor being made official and its TKO merger with UFC going through, it was widely expected that a number of corporate positions would be let go due to their roles now being duplicated. It came as a bit of a surprise that talent cuts were on the way as well, with veteran stars like Dolph Ziggler and Shelton Benjamin being especially shocking releases.
"We figured they would call us both at the same time. My firing story is, I was driving my beautiful daughter to school. We were going through a dead zone. There is a dead zone between my house and her school. I didn't get anything," Mace said."[Mansoor] had informed me that [he] was fired. I thought I was safe. I had received a text that said, 'Call me back.' I called back and it starts off with small talk. I have Twitter. I know why you're calling.
Some of those concepts included"The Fixers," a tag unit that would have been able to"fix" any issue for WWE stars, as well as"The Answer" which was described as a pyramid scheme for a cult.
