Heath Slater was one of the numerous names from WWE to be released on April 15th. Having been in WWE since 2006, Slater had a long, if otherwise up and down, career in the company. However, he's now looking to raise his stock once again by being allowed the freedom to work longer matches and create a character that he wants to present and believes in. Slater has already got a start at this, with his WWE non-compete clause expiring this week and giving him the ability to move on in his career.
Slater published a video to his Instagram account that shows him waking up from a nightmare and looking ahead after his "wake up call." Slater's nightmare features some footage from his WWE run.
