Of all the releases made this year, Damien Sandow was the biggest shocker of them all. He too was released in May, much to the surprise of wrestling fans everywhere. Sandow had performed flawlessly in the angle with The Miz, where he worked the role of the stunt double and had become one of the most popular Superstars amongst fans worldwide.
It seemed that Sandow was nearing a potential big push, but WWE officials obviously had other plans.

As one can imagine, Sandow immediately became the hottest free agent on the market. That's why it came as no surprise when TNA signed Sandow to a contract in August. He is currently performing as Aron Rex and has already had some success, becoming the inaugural Impact Grand Champion.
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
