The following have been removed from the FCW roster page:
Bobby Dutch, Colin Cassady, DeSean Bishop, Jason Mullen, Leroy Parks, Lucky Cannon,
Cameron Lynn, Sonia
Colin Cassady, Leroy Parks, and Cameron Lynn were added to the roster recently so there is some speculation that it they were put on the website too soon and are in fact still with FCW.

WWE Magazine Teases Triple H Wrestling at NOC
WWE Magazine teases Triple H wrestling at Night of Champions:
"Triple H has not contested a match in a WWE ring since he nearly ended The Undertaker’s winning streak at WrestleMania XXVII. So what better time for The Game to jump-start his 2011 season than at Night Of Champions this September? After all, he currently holds the WWE record with 13 World Championships and 23 total title reigns during his career. Other than the recently retired Edge, no other Superstar has ever worn that much gold around his waist. A title opportunity at NOC would bring The King of Kings one-step closer to becoming the greatest champion in WWE history."
