10 wrestlers who were unfortunately released by WWE

#8 Gail Kim

Gail was one the best women’s wrestlers on the roster at that time. She was athletic, and she could hold her own on the mic. She made her WWE debut in outstanding fashion by winning the Women’s Title in her first match with the company. She had a three year run with the company and was released as a cost-cutting measure. Following her release, she made a jump to TNA which seemed to be the trend at that time.

After some breathtaking performances for TNA, she resigned with WWE. However, her second run with the company wasn’t as good. She failed to ascend to the same levels as before despite her experience. Gail has repeatedly stated that she was not happy with the direction in which women’s division was heading in, and she parted ways with the company once again.

This is a real shame because Gail could’ve played a huge part in the divas revolution, and she could’ve had some awesome matches with the likes of Paige, Sasha Banks and even Charlotte Flair. WWE should’ve invested a little more time and effort into her.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
