Unfortunately for Zeb Colter fans, the WWE creative team is reportedly no longer working on his character. On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that WWE currently has no more plans for Colter on TV. We reported back in December that WWE did not view Colter and Alberto Del Rio’s pairing as a long-term story. WWE reportedly planned since November to have Del Rio appear without Colter as his manager in 2016.
Colter’s role in WWE has been limited by the same health issues that forced him off TV in 2014 when he was Jack Swagger’s manager. Meltzer didn’t report on what his exact health issues were, but that he reportedly was having trouble moving around and did legitimately have surgery. The storyline explanation for his absence was that he was injured at the hands of Rusev, then he returned in 2015 for a brief run as Alberto Del Rio’s manager.
With no more WWE TV commitments, Colter has said he plans to publish a “Zebcast” blog in the near future. Colter is portrayed by former wrestler, manager and booker Dutch Mantel.
