As People's Champion Dwayne Johnson once said, no matter how talented a wrestler is, or how popular he is, he can only enjoy it for a limited period of time, and the last thing that greets them must be the warm sun setting in the sunset – leaving the ring.
Everyone's career will come to an end, especially a small episode during the period, and this is probably the truth of the beginning and the end. At WWE, superstars usually give a farewell speech when they are about to leave the ring, but not everyone will have that opportunity.
In fact, since the establishment of WWE for a long time, there have been countless players who have come vigorously and left very sloppily. In this issue, let's take a closer look at the five most surprising departures in WWE history!
5 Jeff Hardy (2009)
"Ghostface Warrior" Jeff Hardy has always had a place in the hearts of WWE fans. In 2009, he and R-rated superstars Edge and CM Punk received high praise from foreign media.
But in the face of such popularity, Jeff Hardy did something puzzling, which was to leave WWE at his peak. On August 28, 2009, CM Punk defeated Jeff Hardy in the Steel Cage tournament, after which Hardy was temporarily out of the WWE ring.
According to foreign media, the reason why Hardy left WWE was because he had to take a while to deal with injuries, but some people speculated that he was banned for taking banned drugs, but within a few months, Jeff joined TNA... It wasn't until 2017 that Jeff returned to WWE again.
4. Kurt Angle (2006)
Olympic gold medalist Kurt Anger's talent at WWE needless to say, Kurt Anger's early stars played countless wonderful games with the stars of the "Bad Attitude Era" and the "PG Era".
ECW declared bankruptcy in April 2001 and could subsequently be reactivated by WWE in 2006 as the third brand in addition to The CompactDown and RAW brands. EcW showcases a variety of international styles of wrestling, as well as hardcore wrestling.
It was also at this time that Kurt Anger was pushed to the ECW, but soon after, the six-time world champion superstar had a groin and abdominal strain. Subsequently, Cotter's contract with WWE expired prematurely on August 25, 2006, and he went home to recuperate. The decision shocked many senior leaders, who believed that Ange should not leave at such an important moment.
But just two months later, Kurt Anger made his debut at TNA and worked there for almost 10 years...
3. Zelina Vega (2020)
Zelina Vega's relationship with Angel and Andreide is not mentioned. After this year's Summer Frenzy, Zelina Vega began her solo career, even challenging Asuka's RAW women's title twice. With the WWE Draft over, she moved into the SmackDown brand to continue her singles role.
Unfortunately, shortly after the draft, WWE officials suddenly announced the dismissal of Zelina Vega, and as soon as the news was released, it was quickly fried online! According to sports illustrated, WWE explicitly prohibits WWE stars from leaving third-party platforms such as Twitch!
Vega did leave the Twitch live streaming platform, but she then opened an OnlineFans account... The WWE executives could not tolerate Vega's behavior, so they decided to fire her!
In this way, it gives people a feeling that it has not yet begun, it is over...
2. CM Punk (2014)
In WWE history, very few superstars have collided with CM Punk. Punk has won two contract packages and has a record of 434 days of WWE championship dominance, and the sudden departure of such wrestling talents is bound to alarm the entire wrestling industry. CM Punk personally stated after 2014's "Battle Royale" that he would never touch anything related to WWE again. But what about the facts...
Nearly 7 years have passed since CM Punk left WWE, and his popularity is still undiminished, and there are still a large number of fans looking forward to the six-time world champion returning to the ring and completing his final wrestling career.
Dean Ambrose (2019)
After the Legion of The Shield was disbanded in 2014, the Dean didn't seem to get the same strong push as the other two. Dean became a Grand Slam player, but most of his championship career was led by WWE.
In 2018, dean completed his long-awaited reversal. But the future plot setting is always so unsatisfactory, and the idea of the dean leaving is gradually becoming more and more firm.
Subsequently, foreign media speculated on whether the dean would continue to stay in WWE, but during the period, WWE officials tweeted that the dean would not resign, but the fact was still gone.
Until after May 2019, the Dean appeared in the AEW under the name of Joe Moxley, and judging by the Dean's time in the AEW, it is indeed more prominent than at WWE, maybe this is his final destination?
