5 WWE superstars released in 2016 and where they are now

Ryback was released in 2016

#2 Wade Barrett

Barrett is wildly talented

Wade Barrett had so much potential within the WWE, and while this isn’t intended to be a “what could’ve been” list, it is worth thinking about if only for a few moments. Mr Bad News has been relatively quiet since leaving the company, choosing to focus on his blossoming acting career as opposed to getting back inside the squared circle.

Barrett was even supposed to be Undertaker’s original opponent at WrestleMania 27. That would undoubtedly have been a career changing match for him

However, he does have a UK Bullhammer Tour coming up with Inside The Ropes which is bound to create some headlines within the dirtsheets. Barrett has already promised to talk about everything from The Nexus to The Corre, and we’ll hopefully be able to hear his thoughts on why he never became a World Champion.

Si! Si! Si!
