New Nation Of Domination? Angle Abandoned After Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingson and Big E Banded Together? Alberto Del Rio The Cause? [RUMORS]

After creating a buzz with the tease of a new Nation of Domination, WWE has seemingly dropped the angle before it really even got started. The criminal underuse of WWE's many talented black Superstars may have finally had a platform to shine and rise to stardom, but at this moment there is no word whether the company will continue the angle or abandon it. Perhaps they are afraid that its perceived racial stereotyping won't play well in light of their recent trouble with Alberto Del Rio's unfair firing. While the angle could be potentially problematic, it certainly might have made it more likely that Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big might climb out of the woodwork.

Although it was originally reported that the incident occurred this month, now it seems that it happened in March before he was drafted. Since he wasn't technically an employee of the NFL at the time (and since he wasn't smoking drugs), the incident likely won't impact his career. However, there is much confusion on whether the NFL knew about it or not. It seems that Evans' agent changed his story.
