From PWInsider:
We had heard rumors of this the last 48 hours, but World Wrestling Entertainment publicly confirmed that NXT Season 2 winner Kaval, known as Low Ki on the independents and Senshi in TNA, has been released. The word making the rounds within WWE is that the company didn't have any plans for him and it was an amicable parting of the ways, as opposed to the company dropping the former ROH and TNA X-Division champion. It is believed he has the typical 90 day no-compete that would prevent him from working for any nationally televised companies. Kaval was signed in 2008 by World Wrestling Entertainment and spent a good amount of time in WWE developmental, despite being well known for his high level of performance in the ring. A number of injuries hampered him during his time in Florida Championship Wrestling before he was brought up to NXT. |

Another case of the writing team not doing their job.

Did they really do anything post-NXT with him, though?
NXT doesn't matter. It's Superstars with a storyline. |

I don't care. They knew he was going to win, and they didn't prepare anything for it?
Bullshit. |

You don't believe WWE wouldn't do that?
lol oh you. Maybe the guy behind him was fired during the gutting of the writing team. In fact, this is what I'm going with. |

![]() They had weeks of time to think of something both short term and long term while he was on NXT or anyone else during season 2 just in case they ended up winning as well. Nexus might end up as the best idea from NXT since it at least guaranteed the rookies would be used for a while except those who got hurt or kicked out (Bryan being an exception since he was guaranteed to come back after being fired). |

Blame MVP. They looked like they could have been a good face tag team in the WWE. They had matching clothes and they worked on some sort of symbol during MVPs pyro fire. Then they jobbed quickly to DrewMac and Dolph Ziggler though.
I think MVP/Kaval was where they were going with both of the superstars. MVP was like 'fuck this I'm outtie' so Kaval was left with no direction. They hot shotted the NXT Season 2 title shot for the IC Championship about 48 television hours away from the PPV, so no hype at all. I should have saw this coming... note: I positive repped coolking to even the rep out after he explained the laugh. |

We shouldn't blame MVP because he wanted to better himself.
Also, Tag Team's aren't just about matching attire and pyro symbols. Kaval & MVP were just sortof thrown together. If they were to become a tag team, it wouldn't have been anything that special. They probably would have lasted around the same ammount of time as McIntyre & Rhodes or maybe less, but without Tag Team |

Its a known FACT that the under team of writers are the one that are responsible for the development of younger talent and their creative angles, and that Michael Hayes is the head writer for Smackdown and that final creative decisions go to and are executed as Hayes' behalf. Hayes is known for pushing currently the more established talent such as Kane, Mysterio, Big Show, and Edge. So for creative to say they didn't have for him i am not suprised. Kaval doesn't match up in Hayes' eyes as someone to be a legit contender in the WHC or IC title scene, than what is there to do with him other than JOB him out and bury talent. Hayes is very select and very picky when it comes to who he puts over and who he doesn't put over. Other than in-ring talent, which Kaval has amicable amounts of, he lacked character depth and the ability to work on the stick. Wrestling ability will only take you so far in the "E". Sure it may have gotten him credibility in ROH and TNA where the emphasis on wrestling ability and talent far outweighs character development but in WWE he fell short. Maybe he needs to re-think his mic and character work and who knows down the road the door might be open for him but honestly I don't ever see guys like Danielson and him having long term appeal ability to the WWE given their current direction and creative team.

Well this sucks. His offense seemed to be over with the audience, and he always put on fun matches. He'll probably be back though.

I knew something was up when he jobbed to Drew the other night, it just didn't feel right. This is a real shame WWE seriously needs to get their shit together it's not a wres.... er 'superstar's' fault that you can't figure out how to properly use him. Hell if anyone needed to be fired it's creative.... *sigh* whatever my complaining means nothing WWE will do whatever the hell they want as long as people continue to watch and no amount of bitching or crying will change that.

Yeah, I seriously don't fucking get their writing team if this is true. The crowd was definitely into Kaval. If you have someone the crowd is really into, you find something to do with them, period. No, instead, they'll find something for someone the fans don't give a shit about, and won't buy into. Seriously, WWE wants to make stars, but they seem to want to do it by closing there eyes and throwing random shit at a wall to see what sticks. I'm not saying the fans are always right, but if the fans are getting behind a wrestler,, for whatever reason, be it the in ring style, the mic skills, whatever, it's probably a good idea to roll with it. |

It's a work! This is the beginning of the GENESIS of Kaval! Gonna debut with the rest of the unused NXT Season 2 rookies and tear stuff up on Smackdown until they are given jobs!

No reason to watch Smackdown now. I was mostly watching it to see Kaval.
Fuck you WWE. Fuck you and your shit booking and writers. To think i actually thought they were doing "okay" the last few weeks. Serves me right for being so naive. |

Can't bring myself to believe that they had no plan for the guy pushed to win NXT. Gotta agree with Xero (and subsequently, Afterlife) that someone who was behind him on creative got canned.
He was over with the fans, so it would have at least been worth their while to give him a chance to really shine. |
