#6. & 5. - Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson - Re-signed despite wanting to leave WWE
Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson could have been much bigger in WWE, but the company never saw them the same way fans who knew them before in New Japan Pro Wrestling did. For those who saw them in NJPW, they were among the best tag teams in the world.
Their run in WWE reflected anything but that and they knew that they were being held back creatively and otherwise. It's a shame that their run didn't work out in the end, because there was so much unfulfilled potential. This is perhaps the reason why they had asked WWE for their release before.
It was their best friend AJ Styles who convinced them to sign a new contract and that's what happened - with them finally aligning with Styles again in 2019 as a part of The OC.
They wanted WWE to release them, but perhaps the nature of the way the company did it rubbed them the wrong way. It even led AJ Styles to publicly blame Paul Heyman and berate him for being the reason behind their releases.
It was partly guilt for AJ Styles since he convinced his friends to re-sign, but he was furious over how things were handled. Luckily, things worked out well and the two former WWE RAW Tag Team Champions are now in IMPACT Wrestling, where they will be the duo who the tag team division is built around.
