WWE announced the release of Wesley Blake as part of their set of cuts that took place in April of this year.
Prior to his release Blake was a part of The Forgotten Sons, along with Steve Cutler and Jaxson Ryker. The trio seemed primed for a nice push on the main roster, but all that was derailed by a tweet made by Ryker.
Blake was recently a guest on The Angle Podcast where Jaxson Ryker’s tweet and how it affected The Forgotten Sons push was discussed.
“Steve and I we went the next day to the Performance Center and talked with creative and at that time creative told us that we’re just going to let this blow over. You’re going to lay low for 2-3 weeks and we’re just going to let this blow over and we’ll kind of pick right back up where you all started. We initially thought it wasn’t the best move that Ryker made that tweet, but it seems like we’re going to continue on with what’s going on storyline wise. We were told the very next week that hey New Day is going to be in with Cesaro and Shinsuke for the foreseeable future. And I think when that happened of course Ryker reached out to Steve and myself and of course he apologized saying I never meant for this to happen. He said never did I think to dismember the faction that we helped create and stuff like that, Steve and I were just honest with him and we said we’re going to pitch ideas and some of those ideas are not going to include you in them.”
Blake also talked about the plan to bring the trio back to television after the situation surrounding Ryker’s tweet.
“It wasn’t until probably September where we got a call from creative saying hey we’re going to bring you 3 back as a team, but we’re going to switch up your look a little bit. You’re not going to be forgotten sons. So we pitched ideas for them to kind of clean up our look a little bit, but then that kind of happened to fall through then it wasn’t until December where Ryker got moved to Raw and Steve and myself stayed on SmackDown.”
