7 recent WWE releases and the rumored reason behind each one of them

#2 Emma

Will she make it big in the indies?

Possibly the only name on this list that deserved another fair shot, Emma will go down as a missed opportunity in the history books. The Australian bombshell certainly had the looks, solid in-ring skills and that oomph factor to warrant a considerable push.

All she got was a botched attempt at repackaging and the status of being a glorified jobber. According to unconfirmed reports from Sports Illustrated's Justin Barrasso (rumour with a grain of salt), the former NXT star had a lot of heat backstage with the writers.

#GiveEmmaAChance didn't help her cause either as her aggressive Twitter policies further aggravated her strained relationship with the top brass. In the end, as disappointing it may sound for the fans and Emma herself, cutting her off was the best for business decision for WWE. However, reports state that WWE has left the door open for her return sometime in the future.Never say never, eh?

In the meantime, the former WWE star is scheduled to make her in-ring return on the indie circuit. Will she pull off a Cody Rhodes?

I feel very fortunate to have the most amazing family, friends and fans in the world! I am excited for the future. The best is yet to come!
