#3 Wrestlers asking for releases

In the age of social media, if a particular talent is currently unhappy with their spot in the company, they will let the world know. Superstars like the Revival, Luke Harper, the Kanellis' and Hideo Itami all reportedly asked for their releases since the beginning of 2019.

And that's not even considering the whole Sasha Banks situation. While she hasn't necessarily blasted the company on Twitter or other platforms, her disappearance from WWE after WrestleMania speaks volumes enough as to her displeasure. Bayley might have also been unhappy, but she at least has continued to show up for work and appear on TV.

WWE might not understand why so many people are unhappy, but they haven't put every superstar under contract on TV. If someone isn't getting used at all, of course they will likely be an unhappy talent. But everyone can't get on TV either, so it's a double-edged blade sometimes.

Not everyone is going to be pushed to the moon or booked like they'll always want to be. But part of the compromise is helping your fellow superstars when they are getting pushed. If you are unhappy, wait until you have the leverage, like Dean Ambrose did, and refuse to resign.

It might be more appealing to wrestle in a new promotion that might offer more creative freedom, but consider your contract's expiration date before you might express your unhappiness to the world on Twitter.
