WWE willing to release unhappy superstars, but they can’t go to AEW: Reports

In the past few years, many superstars have requested to be released from WWE. However, the company has again-and-again declined those requests. But now, there are reports that WWE will release unhappy superstars. There is one catch though. According to Dave Meltzer of the WrestlingNews.co, WWE will let the unhappy superstars leave only if they don’t join their rival All Elite Wrestling (AEW).

Meltzer also said that the company may be releasing some people who they think won’t be going to AEW. If they do go there, it would be for people who probably won’t help AEW. In the past, many WWE wrestlers left the company to join AEW because of their free and creative environment. Wrestlers like Chris Jericho, Dean Ambrose (Jon Moxley) and Neville (Pac) are some of the wrestlers who left WWE to join AEW. Meltzer revealed that WWE is taking these steps because the wrestlers who move from WWE to AEW take their fans with them. Because of that, AEW now has a lot of viewership. AEW’s viewership is so much that they are defeating NXT in viewership ratings.

The veteran thanked the WWE for the great opportunity. However, he revealed that he feels like he's stuck in a place where he's not valued as an athlete or a talent. He added that he has worked hard and polished his skills. He has been loyal, respectful, a team player and has waited patiently for the opportunity to show the world everything he can do. Unfortunately, after all these years, that opportunity never came. He also feels that the opportunity will never come if he remains where he is.
