This heat shyt is typical WWE politics and stupidity (Rollins and Punk got this type of heat for basically the same reasons) and not really worth commenting on beyond what's already been said. I will say this though:
If you're SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than AJ (5'9" legit), Bryan (5'8" legit), and Balor (5'9" legit), then you're not getting a real in-ring push in this company. Point blank period. Now, he could make a fantastic manager, but WWE doesn't really do managers anymore for some stupid reason. If you want to see them screwing over another young in-ring/managerial dual threat talent, look at what they've done to Rockstar Spud.
Ironically though, they've gotten his position halfway right by putting him with Lashley. Lio's too small to really be credible in WWE (Rey Mysterio being the exception that proves the rule) and Lashley's been at his best when he can just kick ass in the ring and let a manager (whether that be MVP or Dan Lambert previously) take care of the talking. But WWE gonna WWE, so they've gotten nothing out of it.
