Rhyno Reportedly Leaving WWE After His Contract Expires

It appears that after Dean Ambrose, Dustin Runnels and Tye Dillinger, another WWE star is on his way out of the company and he will be leaving the promotion very soon.

WrestlingInc is reporting that one half of the former SmackDown Tag Team Champion’s Rhyno has his current WWE contract expiring in July this year.

It appears that he is not going to re-sign as in a surprising move; the former ECW Champion has already started taking bookings outside of the company.

One such booking he has taken is for an appearance for indie promotion IWC who made the announcement of his return to the territory in the tweet seen below, though they didn’t confirm the exact date for his comeback:

Rhyno signed a full-time contract with WWE in 2016 and he was assigned to the SmackDown Brand. His storyline with Heath Slater where they became the inaugural tag champions of the brand was considered one of the best of the year.

He lost to Slater in a loser leaves WWE match last December and the former ECW Star has sparingly been used on WWE Television since then. His last PPV appearance was at WrestleMania where he took part in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
