Vince Russo made a dire prediction for The 946 and guaranteed that at least two members of Royce Keys’ group will be released by WWE right after WrestleMania.
Speaking on Wednesday’s Coach & Bro Show with Jonathan Coachman, Russo said that WWE put The 946 in a feud with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. According to Russo, the members of the group have not been given the chance to develop as characters or to cut promos.
“It’s almost like a rule,” Russo said, adding that no one can have a personality. “Don’t let anyone talk or say anything. They’re not ready to talk, not ready to cut a promo, they’re not ready to pin Roman Reigns.”
However, Russo went beyond the criticism and made a point to note that he was making the prediction on Veterans Day, November 11.
“So let me tell you what that’s gonna equate to,” Russo said, before telling people to write down Veterans Day, November 11. “Coach, what’s the first thing that happens right after WrestleMania season? Cuts? Thank you! I promise you, at least two of these 946 members right now will be cut right after WrestleMania. I promise you.”
The next WrestleMania, WrestleMania 43, is set for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in 2027 and has no official date yet.
In Russo’s opinion, the problem is going to be exposed after Survivor Series, when the program with The Bloodline comes to an end. WWE will then have to decide what to do with Keys, Carmelo Hayes, Cruz Montana, Bronco Nima and Lucien Price, the five men of The 946, a group that also includes Jaida Parker.
“Think about this, Coach,” Russo said. “We got 946, we’re going into Survivor Series. That’s the big angle. What happens after Survivor Series? Now we got five guys with no personality, nothing. Five of them! What’s gonna happen? They’re gonna get cut. That’s exactly what’s gonna happen, bro.”
During Monday’s Raw in Greenville, South Carolina, Keys was the only member of The 946 to speak. The show ended with Reigns challenging the group to a WarGames match at Survivor Series, which is set for November 28 at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas.
All five members of The Wyatt Sicks were released by WWE on April 24, only five days after WrestleMania 42. They were part of a list of more than 20 names.
