Teaming with Rhyno (2016–2019)

I was shocked to hear the amount of support he mustered from the crowd ... Slater is very clearly a valuable role-player, and it seems the crowd has a lot of respect for his work.

Pro Wrestling Torch writer Brandon LeClair after Slater's appearance on SmackDown in July 2016.[54]

While his fellow Social Outcast members got drafted by the end of the

2016 WWE draft, Slater was the only active Superstar not selected by either show.[55] Slater appeared on the July 26 episode of SmackDown, cutting a highly acclaimed worked shoot promo addressing the issue,[54][56] only to be attacked by a returning Rhyno shortly after.[57] During the next few weeks, Slater faced other wrestlers to win a contract, but he was defeated.[58][59] Despite not appearing at the event, WWE audiences chanted "we want Slater" during the brawl between Roman Reigns and Rusev at SummerSlam,[60][61] as well as the following night on Raw.[62][63]
