Maybe not fired, but definitely put down in FCW to work on his shit and get his act together. Honestly, I can't even say he shouldn't be fired. Someone who's that high profile of a signing should not be failing wellness, period. Let alone within months of his debut. You're only basing it off the fact that he's Mistico, not the fact that, realistically, he's a borderline embarrassment for the company. The character is hot enough that it warranted a replacement, and they could logistically do one, unlike 90% of the roster. Believe me, if, say, Randy Orton failed wellness or got injured and they could put someone else in the character, they more than likely would. And you really can't do it with Rey. There are too many variables (the fact that he promos, his size, his tats) that prevent someone from playing Rey. Again, if they could, I really think they would.

They brought Sin Cara in as Mistico and promoted how big of a superstar he is. Being played by someone else diminishes the character. When he first came to WWE, they had a press conference and everything where they acknowledged that he used to be called Mistico, and he came out in a Mistico mask which he took off to reveal the new Sin Cara mask underneath, so yeah, it looks kinda crap if they drop him after that if someone else is going to carry on the gimmick.
