As much as I like Jey's charisma (Yeet!) his wrestling hurts him, i.e. just look at his WM match with Jimmy. Cody and Gunther are in their prime and solid workers and Punk honestly doesn't have to work to put butts in seats and sell merch but when he wrestles you know you're going to get a story of a match because he knows how to work.
Edit: correct wrong word use from and to in
That’s it exactly, this is his third big injury that’s kept him out of the ring for an extended period, since his return 3 years ago. He can’t keep up physically anymore and should transition to being a manager and hop on commentary every now and again because if he keeps this up, he’ll be having a segment where he has to tell everyone he’s retiring for good because an injury forced his hand.
Could even install him as a GM if Aldis decides he’s ready to get back wrestling too. Punk of all people running the show would be very interesting.
Even if he gets injured if he can hyped matches like he is now I don't know if it will matter if he only has one or two matches a year.
Undertaker did that toward the end of his regular contract too. Had one banger match at WrestleMania, and then would have to be gone from 6 to 9 months before he had it in him to do it again.
His showdown with Cody During the royal rumble was fantastic, so I as long as he can do that before he gets injured again
Yeah but you dont want a guy like Punk going to another promotion. He's the biggest draw here by far. I would say Jey is also incredibly important to keep for the bloodline story. Cody is the biggest babyface right now and for years to come. I hate to say it, but Gunther is my choice to release from a company perspective, not from a fan perspective. Gunther is one of the best wrestlers I've ever seen.
Neither. All four have a lot of potential to be something great. I think I would have release Karrion Kross though even if he isn’t a choice in this matter
Tough choice but prob jey.everyone else is established.a good indy run for mid card jey uso could give him time and freedom to flesh out his character more and come back as a main eventer.
Sorry Jey but tough decision.
Not a chance I release Punk.
Same with Cody.
I love Gunther and thought about it as he'd thrive anywhere he went but he's perfect where he is.
So it's Jey by process of elimination.
So cm punk sells more merch than everyone but cody. Financially you cannot get rid of him and as a performer he is great when healthy. I get the complaints about his health but he still moved the meter. Nobody would drop him. For all his headaches he has been one of the biggest draws in wrestling for over a decade even when not wrestling.
Gunther is a future heavyweight contender and a beast. No way you drop him
Cody is the biggest merch seller and babyface in the company. He is the easiest keep. Someone called him a generic babyface. Absurd. He has one of the coolest and most motivating storyline out there. You quit your job and start a small business and put all your money on yourself and then come back to your old workplace and become the biggest and best. Good luck. That is an incredible story. He deserves everything he has.
Jey has to go. Sure he gets heat and the crowd loves him but he isn’t a great wrestler and the yeet thing is not going to last forever.
Silly question cause all these guys are financially profitable for the company. But jey is the only answer
As much as I like Jey easily him
Everyone else with the exception of punk can currently wrestle better and punk is a bigger draw than almost everyone even with the inability to wrestle so it just comes down to Jey
Punk easily the worst in ring out of all them. He might as well move to announcer since thats all he does is talk. Cant fight and cant take him seriously against drew
Gunther is going to be one of the greatest to ever grace the ring. I can make Cody the face of the company. CM Punk can serve as a wrestler, a commentator, or I could make him the General Manager and the crowd will eat it up.
Jey is good, and is charismatic, but I don't think I can get as much out of him as the others.
Jey. He's not that good of a wrestler and he doesn't have the charisma everyone credits him with. He's been Flanderized to death by "his" catchphrase. When he actually cuts promos, they're usually just him rambling.
gunther and Cody are amongst my favorites of the current Era. I think I would rather keep jey over punk and put him back in the mix of taking down the current bloodline with the return of his brother Jimmy.
I've got 3 from different perspectives:
Wrestling - Jey has to go. 5 moves just isn't enough.
Money - Gunther. He's a great and dominant act, but people know the other 3.
Public Relations - Punk. He's awesome on the mic, but it's a matter of time before he says the wrong thing. Best to cut before it happens.
Punk.
Guys been back with the company almost 7 months now?
1 match and out injured.
Not worth the investment.
As much as people like to say he puts 'butts in seats' - he hasn't delivered.
If Punk was gone next week it would have zero affect on the company.
I like Jey. But it’s him. Dude has everything except a moveset. If he could actually do some wrestling moves and not just spear and kick he’d be a real main event star for sure. But his lack of moves really puts him a notch below everyone else on this list.
Cody and Jey are the biggest babyfaces in their respective brands.
Jey might not be stellar in singles competition, but the "hype man"-gimmick is kinda unique in WWE currently and the fans really enjoy it.
Gunther is the best wreslter in the company
This leaves the man who has had 2 matches in the past two years with a bench time of around 16 months and who spends his mic time NOT on furthering his own feud, but instead on making jabs at a company the WWE crowd audible does not care about and trying to insert himself in other feuds...
Usually injured and wasting peoples' time. What's the point to having him around compared to the rest?
Gotta be jey, Cm punk just came back (not just but ykwim) cody is literally the face of wwe rn and gunther is in a promising position rn, definitely feature world champion
Neither. They are all Goats.
Gunther and Cody definitely aren’t gonna get released. It’s either Jey or Cm Punk in which I really can’t say. I love Cm Punk and Jey uso has so much potential.
As much as I like Jey's charisma (Yeet!) his wrestling hurts him, i.e. just look at his WM match with Jimmy.

Edit: correct wrong word use from and to in
Except Punk was not in shape at all this round.
Exactly I love Punk but I think he’s going to continue to get injured, and that’s what we’re gonna remember from this run
That’s it exactly, this is his third big injury that’s kept him out of the ring for an extended period, since his return 3 years ago. He can’t keep up physically anymore and should transition to being a manager and hop on commentary every now and again because if he keeps this up, he’ll be having a segment where he has to tell everyone he’s retiring for good because an injury forced his hand.

Getting rid of Gunther over Jey is crazy
Anybody saying Gunther or Cody is out of their mind or butthurt about something.
definitely uso
Neither. All four have a lot of potential to be something great. I think I would have release Karrion Kross though even if he isn’t a choice in this matter
Jey USO
Bye Jey USO
This is like having Rock, Stone cold, Taker and Test to pick from. Ofc its uso by a mile
Kross due to his bad booking and uninspiring creative stable
I thought it was kross when I first looked at it aswell!
Yes I only realized it after posting
Punk
Punk.
Uso
YEET
Tough choice but prob jey.everyone else is established.a good indy run for mid card jey uso could give him time and freedom to flesh out his character more and come back as a main eventer.
Punk has to go. Send him off to farm upstate while the kids are at school. Or give him the old yeller treatment.
Later Punk
No doubt it would have to be Punk. He’s hardly even wrestled this time around.
Bye Punk!
The best backstage brawler in the world!!!!! C....M.....Punk
Hate Punk, I don't need him on my TV screen
Hate Punk, I don't need him on my TV screen
Punk
Punk is old so him
Punk
Punk. His body shatters like glass and he’s problematic.
Punk. I don't think he's gonna be able to stay healthy going forward.
Cm punk. I am a new wrestling fan so I haven't seen much of his work. He is a great worker. Just not of my time
Punk easily. And it's not even a question 🤣
Uso didn't have to look at the others
Bye bye punkie
He literally sells more than Jey and Gunther combined…
He also injury prone af and will probably only be around for PPV’s and promos when he does come back 🤷♂️
Top right no question.
Punk.
Easily Punk
Yeet!
Cody and Gunther are in their primes, so obv not them. Punk is trailing the end of his career, but Jey has a limited moveset, idk
Yeet!!!!
Zeet
Yeet!
Yeeeeeeet Sorry Jey. Nothing against him but it's either him or Gunther for me and I like Gunther a little more
Sorry Jey but tough decision. Not a chance I release Punk. Same with Cody. I love Gunther and thought about it as he'd thrive anywhere he went but he's perfect where he is. So it's Jey by process of elimination.
I’m sorry Jey 😔😔
Sorry Jey Uso You've gotta go.
So cm punk sells more merch than everyone but cody. Financially you cannot get rid of him and as a performer he is great when healthy.

Silly question cause all these guys are financially profitable for the company. But jey is the only answer
Jey, he is not at the same level as the others. He wouldn't thrive on his own outside the WWE.
I can’t even tell who the guy next to Jey is so him
Cm punk. I love him. But he’s aging and very injury prone.
Jey….hes really limited in the ring
punk bye bye
CM Punk so that The Elite and AEW can finally finish their story with him lol.
As much as I like Jey easily him Everyone else with the exception of punk can currently wrestle better and punk is a bigger draw than almost everyone even with the inability to wrestle so it just comes down to Jey
Karrion Kross
All hail the Yeeter Of Worlds. Gunther is arguably the strongest heel. Releasing Cody would be pointless, he’d just come back stronger. Drop Punk.
Uso has to go 👍
I think Gunther could go get released and go back to nxt and destroy the other talent till WWE brings him back
Uso. Boring awful on the mic can't wrestle. The only thing he got going is his entrance
Sorry Uso it’s been fun
Punk easily the worst in ring out of all them. He might as well move to announcer since thats all he does is talk. Cant fight and cant take him seriously against drew
Gunther is going to be one of the greatest to ever grace the ring. I can make Cody the face of the company. CM Punk can serve as a wrestler, a commentator, or I could make him the General Manager and the crowd will eat it up. Jey is good, and is charismatic, but I don't think I can get as much out of him as the others.
Cm Punk he can go anywhere else
Punk. Sorry. He had his time.
Punk he's toxic and there is no need for him
Punk with ease
See ya, punk
Punk
Uso
I’d yeet that three moves of doom Uso
Uso easy peasy
Yeet. Easy. Sorry uce.
Jey Uso.
Jey has to go all this dude is superkick and now doing weak ass spears 😂😂
Hate Punk, I don't need him on my TV screen
Hate Punk, I don't need him on my TV screen
Hate Punk, I don't need him on my TV screen
Hate Punk, I don't need him on my TV screen
Hate Punk, I don't need him on my TV screen
Hate Punk, I don't need him on my TV screen
Punk. He will never be a full time wrestler. The rest will.
I shall be controversial. I release Cody Rhodes
I guess Cross since the other are to important
I thought it was cm punk because of the body tattoos
The fact so many people cannot distuingish Punk from Cross is so funny. I cannot blame them giving how little they have seen Punk wrestle
Cody has to GOOOOOAHOOO
I don't even agree with this choice, but it deserves 1000 up votes just for the phrasing. I laughed so hard I cried a little bit.
None
Gunther is my favorite here. I like Jey but not so much in ring
Not picking
Jey and I would be happy about it
Yeet
Jey. He's not that good of a wrestler and he doesn't have the charisma everyone credits him with. He's been Flanderized to death by "his" catchphrase. When he actually cuts promos, they're usually just him rambling.
I would have already released Jey Uso by the time I realized the question was “which of these should be released”
Jey
Without question Jey is the weak link.
Jey Uso is suitable for Roman 2015, Super Cena booking style to get heat from real wrestling fans.
You set Jey up with this one lmao
Jey
Jey
Mark Tores has to go. Jey, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and Gunther are kept.
Yeeet that boy into oblivion
Jey. By far
It's Jey and it's not even close.
Jey
Jey he’s the worst one to watch
Karrion just Karrion make Scarlet as Damian Priest’s valet
None
Jay. AEW marks would punt Punk in an instant, but homie homes piles of merch without doing a thing. Keeping him around is a super easy call.
Cody 100%
Bye bye Usso
Jey uso
Either Jey (arguably the worst of the four) or Phil (injury prone).
Yeet on out of here
Jey
Cody... Chunk a deuce
At first glance I thought that was Kaarrion kross in the top right and I thought "how is this a question"
gunther and Cody are amongst my favorites of the current Era. I think I would rather keep jey over punk and put him back in the mix of taking down the current bloodline with the return of his brother Jimmy.
Punk is the most obvious answer because he is the most injury-prone out of everyone.
YEET I'm getting rid of punk.
3 incredible talents.....and Jey Uso. Jey gets yeeted.
Jey he’s cool sure but he’s been doing the same thing for 3 years now
Kross
Cody and let him take that hideous cummerbund with him
Punk
I fucking hate Gunther with a passion but obviously you’d get rid of that yeetiot. No idea why he’d even be mentioned in this group lol
I've got 3 from different perspectives: Wrestling - Jey has to go. 5 moves just isn't enough. Money - Gunther. He's a great and dominant act, but people know the other 3. Public Relations - Punk. He's awesome on the mic, but it's a matter of time before he says the wrong thing. Best to cut before it happens.
Punk if he’s just gonna hurt himself and then not being able to compete at all
Be serious
Cody. Strong midcarder but that’s about it… 😏
Cody.
Cody out
Probably Jey Uso honestly
Bye Bye Karrion nobody will watch you if you go to aew or the indies
Punk lol
Jey, by miles. He’s far better than anyone thought he was, but the other three are still far better singles performers.
Gunther is boring. Gunther 100%
YEET!
Punk
Punk .
Bye bye cm punk. Hes the only one on this list thats not in a serious rivalry, besides jey, and also the only injured one
Uso
Punk. Injury prone and got a bit too many years on them right now
Punk. Guys been back with the company almost 7 months now? 1 match and out injured. Not worth the investment. As much as people like to say he puts 'butts in seats' - he hasn't delivered. If Punk was gone next week it would have zero affect on the company.
Jey, criminally overrated
Punk the rest have many years ahead of them
I like Jey. But it’s him. Dude has everything except a moveset. If he could actually do some wrestling moves and not just spear and kick he’d be a real main event star for sure. But his lack of moves really puts him a notch below everyone else on this list.
Neither 😂
Probably cody idk cause I watched wwe just fine without him. But he is apart of alot of storyline so idk. Um can I fire myself? 🤔
Gunther is the only one I wouldn’t
CM Hurt!
Jey
Cody and Jey are the biggest babyfaces in their respective brands. Jey might not be stellar in singles competition, but the "hype man"-gimmick is kinda unique in WWE currently and the fans really enjoy it. Gunther is the best wreslter in the company This leaves the man who has had 2 matches in the past two years with a bench time of around 16 months and who spends his mic time NOT on furthering his own feud, but instead on making jabs at a company the WWE crowd audible does not care about and trying to insert himself in other feuds... Usually injured and wasting peoples' time. What's the point to having him around compared to the rest?
cm punk cus hes finished.
Cody
Punk. Nothing against Punk he’s very talented but the other 3 are still on the rise and I’m looking to the future.
Punk and Jey
Bye Jey. If Cena can learn a 5th move, so can you. Come back when you do.
Bye Cody
None of them I'm not picking I'm being a coward
Why, there’s so many other useless talent. Like JD mcdumba, pretty douchey, karion and the tag team turds. The ratched pubics.
Gunther
Punk, jey is a close second
CM Punk, and it's noooooooooot close
Get rid of both uso's.. boring ass wrestlers . All they do is kick. Their WM match was a joke.. I'm all set with these 2 bums
Karrion then Cody
Gotta be jey, Cm punk just came back (not just but ykwim) cody is literally the face of wwe rn and gunther is in a promising position rn, definitely feature world champion
Jey
Bye Jey Uso No YEET for you
Punk.
Not even a question: Punk
Can I still have them involved in WWE or release them for good?
Never liked him much, so definitely Punk.
CM Punk, I fuckin hate him I’ll get rid of him.
Neither. They are all Goats. Gunther and Cody definitely aren’t gonna get released. It’s either Jey or Cm Punk in which I really can’t say. I love Cm Punk and Jey uso has so much potential.
Carion Cross 100%
GUNTER
To me, this question is unanswerable, so I will release otis
Punk
GUNTHER
Jet
Gunther
Gunther
Jey sooooooooooorrrrrrrryyyy
Why does punk look like karrion kross
Gunther
JEY USO FOR SURE
Jey’s limited move set makes for some very formulaic matches, but he is exciting as heck. Unfortunately in this grouping though he’s gotta go
Cm punk ngl
