Slater’s performance on RAW drew praises from the fans, and it kickstarted speculation on whether or not the WWE has decided to rehire him.
Tom Colohue reported on the latest episode of the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast Heath Slater’s appearance on RAW was a one-time deal. It gave the former SmackDown Tag Team Champion a much-needed payday at a time when he is unable to wrestle due to the no-compete clause. As noted earlier, Drew McIntyre also played an important role in getting Slater back on WWE TV for the angle
Tom noted that WWE had not offered Heath Slater a new contract. However, it was added that there were many people backstage, including other wrestlers, who were very impressed with Heath Slater’s performance. While Tom explained that the WWE officials could change their minds and try to rehire him. Heath Slater, however, may be done with the company as another promotion has reportedly offered him a deal.
Tom also explained that Slater is one of the few Superstars who admitted that his WWE release was his fault. Slater wasn’t as motivated as he should have been during the peak of his WWE stint, but he looked to be in fine form on RAW this week.
Here’s what Tom had to say on the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast, which also had exclusive backstage details about the uncertain WWE futures of Kairi Sane and Jeff Hardy, Vince McMahon being unhappy about an upcoming PPV, Brock Lesnar’s return and much more:
What’s next for Heath Slater following the WWE release?
Heath Slater looked great during his one-off appearance on RAW, but it may be the last time we saw him inside a WWE ring for the foreseeable future. Slater is widely-rumored to join Impact Wrestling where he could reunite with Rhino.
The 36-year-old Superstar spent 14 years in the WWE, and we wish him nothing but the best for all his future endeavours.
