Life after WWE: Catching up with 10 Superstars released in 2016

#4 Adam Rose

Aldo is the non-PG alternative to Adam.

If you recall, there was a falling out of sorts, between Rose and WWE officials towards the end of his tenure. He was suspended for 60 days for violating the company's Talent Wellness Policy, but according to Adam, the drugs that were found in his system were actually prescribed to him by a doctor.

From there, Adam had a personal issue with his wife that was also brought up and things just never recovered. Adam Rose was also released in May as well.

These days, Adam keeps a full schedule, accepting bookings all over the world as Aldo Rose, the non-PG alternate version of Adam Rose. As he explains, Aldo is a darker version of Adam and is capable of being a far more relentless performer, one that he says fits his personality more than his former WWE persona.

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.
