The Forgotten Sons debuted on Smackdown shortly after WrestleMania this year. The team looked to be entering into a program with New Day when social media posts from Jaxon Ryker drew criticism from others on the roster.
Although both Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake quickly distanced themselves from their stablemate’s comments, plans for the Forgotten Sons have been shelved. According to a report from the Wrestling Observer, Cesaro & Shinsuke Nakamura will now take the their place in a planned angle with New Day.
“Nakamura & Cesaro are replacing The Forgotten Sons in a planned program with The New Day,” wrote Dave Meltzer.
The change is notable as Ryker does not even wrestle for the team. Cutler and Blake last wrestled at Money in the Bank in a fatal 4-way match for the Smackdown tag titles. Ryker hasn’t wrestled a match since an NXT live event in February.
There was also said to be some debate backstage as to whether now is the time to have an angle like the one with the Forgotten Sons, however.
“There are those who felt the gimmick itself wasn’t the right thing in these turbulent times,” Meltzer continued.
