5 Exact moments when WWE stars decided to leave

#3 Exact moment Brodie Lee decided to leave WWE

Although WWE made sporadic attempts to use Luke Harper as a singles Superstar, the former WWE Intercontinental Champion’s run with the company is best remembered for his association with Bray Wyatt and The Wyatt Family.

Speaking on Talk Is Jericho after his WWE departure, the man behind the Harper character – Brodie Lee, now in AEW – revealed that he decided to request his release from WWE after he was pitched an idea that would have seen him play a background role to another Superstar, Sami Zayn.

Lee reluctantly agreed to the storyline before being told that there had been a change of plan, which ultimately prompted him to ask for his exit from WWE.

“That was exactly what I don't want to do. That is what I have done my entire career. I don't want to be behind anybody, I just want to do my thing. But I said, ‘You know what, I am going to make it work and we will figure it out.’ Then they were like, ‘Oh, well, we are not doing that.’ I said, ‘That's it.’ I went home, discussed it with my wife, and she said, ‘If you don't want to be there, don't be there.’” [H/T Wrestling Inc.]

Lee then took to Twitter in April 2019 to reveal that he had requested his release from WWE after seven years with the company.

The former Wyatt Family member briefly returned to WWE television in September 2019 before being granted his release in December 2019.
