10 of the most shocking WWE releases of the past decade

#7 Damien Sandow

Damien Sandow was released from WWE back in 2016

Damien Sandow is a former Mr Money in the Bank in the WWE. He was also a crowd favourite when WWE decided to give him the character as The Miz's stunt double.

When this storyline eventually fizzled out, Sandow began a partnership with Curtis Axel where the duo was known as "The Meta Powers" ( a parody of The Mega Powers). Sandow became a popular character following the storyline with The Miz and was gaining the loudest crowd reactions on WWE TV despite the fact that the company were obviously booking Sandow into the ground.

Whilst it was evident that WWE had nothing creative planned for Sandow moving forward, it still came as a huge shock when he was released from his contract back in May 2016. The former Tag Team Champion later went on to have a disappointing stint in TNA
