#4. Aleister Black - Released by WWE in June 2021
Aleister Black was released by WWE in June 2021. It came as a big surprise because, during the first set of releases in April 2021, it was revealed that Aleister Black wouldn't be a part of the cuts.

That was good news since WWE eventually started airing vignettes to promote his new character after a half-year-long hiatus from WWE. He made his return to SmackDown at the end of May 2021, seemingly beginning a feud with Big E.

However, it was over before it started as Aleister Black's release from WWE was announced on June 2nd, 2021. It came as a big surprise since WWE went all-out in changing Aleister Black. Not only was he about to showcase a new character, but according to him, there was a new entrance and theme song all ready as well.
His release was abrupt and surprising and many fans felt that WWE made a mistake by releasing him. Thankfully, Aleister Black didn't take it badly and thanked Vince McMahon, expressing his interest in a future return to WWE.
WWE reportedly made a mistake behind the scenes with his release clause and he didn't have to go through the standard 90-day non-compete clause period - jumping ship to AEW a month later.
