Luke Harper is a former Intercontinentnal Champion in WWE and someone who shocked the world when he emerged as The Exalted One in AEW a few weeks ago. Like many of the stars on this list, Harper was happy in WWE for a number of years before his booking and creative content on the show turned sour and he made the decision to request his release publicly.
Now known as Brodie Lee, he has made it public knowledge that he was frustrated whilst in WWE and even revealed that WWE decided to go one step further when it comes to his release, just to further annoy him.
"WWE released me on December 8th with a 90 day (no compete) clause. My contract would have been up on March 8th. Somehow when I got the letter in the mail it became a week later where I could not compete on that first Wednesday after it was up. Somehow it was a 94 day period. I think that was one little extra f**k you, to me.”
