5 reasons WWE Superstars leave the company

Maybe the WWE isn’t all its cracked up to be!

#3 Creative has nothing for them

Barret is a victim to this reason

Anyone who played WWE 2K15 knows this one all too well. You would play match after match, only for Vickie Guerrero to continuously say “Creative has nothing for you” week in and week out. As the player, if you could have abandoned ship and gone to NJPW 2K15 or TNA 2K15, you probably would have.

So it’s no surprise some WWE Superstars did exactly this and left the company to find someplace that would utilise them more effectively.

Take King Barrett for example.

His main reason for leaving was him not enjoying his role in WWE anymore, and that should surprise absolutely no one. After getting incredibly over with his “Bad News Barrett” gimmick, WWE dropped it for seemingly no reason other than not wanting him to pick up steam.

Then they saddled him with the “King” gimmick as a result of winning King of the Ring. Now common sense would dictate that if Barrett was picked to win a major tournament, it must mean WWE has plans for him, right? Wrong. Barrett quickly faded into obscurity and following a brief stint with the League of Nations, exited the company.

WWE has an expansive roster. The fact of the matter is some guys aren’t going to be used as prominently as others. Many Superstars just deal with this fact because they’re still able to be part of the biggest wrestling company in the world. But for others, not being featured is reason enough to take their talents elsewhere.
