3 Current WWE Superstars who requested their release and 2 who threatened to quit 

#3. Requested his release from WWE: Andrade

Andrade hasn't been seen on WWE programming for more than five months, and the former United States Champion didn't get picked in the 2020 WWE Draft.

Reports suggested that the former NXT Champion had elective surgery, so he would make his return to WWE in due course. But that no longer seems to be the case, as Wrestling Inc. recently reported that Andrade requested his release from WWE last week.

It was later reported that the company denied the request, so he remains a WWE Superstar. As of this writing, there has been no update on Andrade's future.

At one point in time, Andrade was viewed as one of the WWE's brightest stars. Under the leadership of Paul Heyman, Andrade was heavily pushed on RAW. He won the United States Championship, and he regularly contended for the RAW Tag Team Championship.

But after Heyman was removed from his role as the show's executive director, WWE stopped pushing several of his favorite stars. Andrade was one of the wrestlers who suffered the most, as he has been completely left on the sidelines.
