At this point, can you really even be shocked?
None of this happens in a vacuum. Lio Rush, Cedric Alexander and ACH's respective stories since they signed should be cautionary tales to any Black talent thinking about signing. People (even some on here) questioned ACH's mental state for wanting to leave, after they gave him a minstrel smile shirt. Proved himself to be the smartest guy out of the lot of them though.
Isn't MVP there now? Outside chance Ricochet gets him as a mouthpiece, I guess, but even still where will that put his ceiling?
Swerve should be sweating bullets too - and he signed up after being the face of a smaller company in MLW, going over Matt Riddle for the title. Can't help but feel they'll do him the same as everyone else, though. I know he changed his name in case he wanted to leave when his contract was up, so at least he's shown some foresight.
Bianca and Dream are both easily over enough to be champions, but they probably won't ever get there.
Dudes are marks for the logo, though - so they'll sign up on the strength of that regardless, thinking that Vince won't do them the same. But he will.
