Luke Harper was out of the WWE for a long time but he made his return to team up with Eric Rowan at Hell in a Cell this year. However, the reunion was short-lived as both the superstars got drafted in different brands.
On the other hand, Sin Cara and The Ascension never really made it big in the WWE. The Ascension delivered some of their best performances during their time in NXT, WWE’s developmental brand.
The release of these WWE superstars frees them to pursue other venues. In recent times, WWE has seen a lot of talent leaving to join other companies. Jon Moxley (WWE’s Dean Ambrose) and Shawn Spears (WWE’s Tye Dillinger) went on to join All Elite Wrestling (AEW) after leaving WWE. Even former WWE announcer Dasha Fuentes left WWE to join AEW. Former WWE champion Randy Orton also teased that he might be leaving for AEW but signed on with WWE in the end. WWE Legend Chris Jericho is the current and inaugural AEW World Champion.
