5 Recent Wrestlers who were released from WWE due to creative issues
A company can't keep all its employees happy all the time. The same pertains to the WWE as well. Many wrestlers fail to grasp that WWE possesses a wide-ranging roster. As a result, everyone can't be used fittingly as others.
"Creative Issues" is one of the major reasons circumscribing a wrestler's departure. They just can't accept their modus operandi.
They could have done wonders if they controlled their character a little more. So, they left WWE with this notion.
Here are five recent wrestlers who were released from WWE due to creative issues.
Note- When we say recent, we mean the last four years. So, wrestlers who were released before 2014 are not included in this list.
#5 Austin Aries
Let's start with the only entry from 2017. Austin Aries had been one of the most "over" characters of TNA when he arrived in WWE. So, the fans who had watched him perform in ROH and TNA expected a lot out of him.
But, how do they book him on the main roster? Instead of going after the World Championship, the Creative Board made him chase the Cruiserweight Championship.
Still, he pulled a series of spectacular matches with Neville. However, that didn't satisfy 'The Greatest Man That Ever Lived.' Here is what he said on Talk is Jericho after his release:
I just said, 'well, okay. Now, where do we go?' and it didn't seem like they had a clear direction of where to go, which was frustrating because I'm more than just a good match guy. You can literally use me anywhere and I'm open to being used anywhere.
The Creative Board didn't have any clear plans after his losses to Neville. Aries was unmistakably unhappy learning that. Soon after, Aries had been released and put under a 90-day non-compete agreement.
