5 current WWE Superstars you may not have known once requested their release

#2. Current WWE Superstar Molly Holly requested her release in 2005

Molly Holly is now a WWE Hall of Famer who recently returned to the company as a producer. Holly was once one of the shining stars of the Women's Division, but the former champion was ahead of her time and was pushing for a revolution a decade too early.

Holly is one of several former female wrestlers, including Ivory and Gail Kim, who requested their release in the early 2000s. Holly confirmed that she had requested her release as part of a recent interview:

"I didn’t have any conversations with Vince. The only conversation I had with Vince in my entire career was when I asked to be released from my contract early. The only time I’ve ever said more than hello to him, so, the way that I got hired was through Jim Ross. Then, throughout my time there, I would talk with the writers or the head of talent relations, but I didn’t really have any conversations with Vince. So, it was a big deal for me to walk into his office and tell him thank you for everything and that I’d like to fold my chapter of pro wrestling. He shook my hand at The Hall of Fame. He was very nice.”

Holly stated that she opted to leave WWE in 2005 so that she could spend some time with her family. She has since returned to the company as an active star several times as part of the WWE Women's Revolution.
