5 WWE Superstars who were fired live on TV
If you haven't had the chance to catch this week's RAW, then you'll have missed the firing of the Man-Beast, Rhyno.
The final original ECW World Champion lost his spot on Monday Nights after budget cuts led to Acting General Manager Baron Corbin forcing the Man-Beast and his tag partner Heath Slater to face off, with Slater winning and saving his job.
Things don't seem to be much better for the One Man Band though, as according to the GM-Elect, Slater will now be working as a referee.
But Rhyno, who announced his retirement not long after the broadcast, isn't the first Superstar to be fired live on TV, and more than likely will not be the last.
Over the decades of WWE TV, there have been plenty who got the pink slip live.
Here are five WWE Superstars who were fired live on WWE TV.
5. Cody Rhodes
After Randy Orton captured the WWE Championship at Summerslam 2013, things quickly changed in WWE.
Triple H established himself as the undisputed master of the show, and with his wife Stephanie by his side and Orton as champion, they formed the Authority.
One Superstar who took umbrage at this new Authority was Cody Rhodes, who spoke out against the unfair treatment at the pay per view of former champion Daniel Bryan.
Perhaps Cody should've kept his mouth shut, as he was forced to defend his career against Orton. Rhodes lost, and was promptly fired.
In his best promo in WWE, Rhodes spoke about the hard work he and his family gave the company, as well as his wife Brandi.
Rhodes his job back at Battleground alongside his brother Goldust, and he showed glimpses of his brilliance, which fans would later see after his actual release in 2016.
