5 recently released WWE Superstars who have left the business

#1. Former WWE Superstar Mojo Rawley

Mojo Rawley joined WWE in 2012 and spent four years on NXT before making his main roster debut in 2016. Despite winning the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal in 2017 and the 24/7 Title several times, the 35-year-old's struggled in Vince McMahon's company.

In June 2020, Rawley competed in his final WWE match when he lost to Shorty G on SmackDown. After the bout, he remained inactive for nearly ten months until Vince McMahon's company released him from his contract last April.

After his release, Rawley decided to take some time off from wrestling to focus on other projects. In an interview with TMZ Sports, he disclosed that he is now focusing on the stock market and trading. He had also started a marketing agency with a few of his friends.

"Now I can do everything, so I don’t have to be known as just one thing. I can do it all! I can focus on the stock market and trading because that’s what my background is in. I even started a company with a couple of my buddies, the Paragon Talent Group, you know which is actually here to assist people with what I’m going through right now. Because a lot of guys, once they leave professional wrestling, they don’t know what’s next, especially when leaving the WWE, they don’t know what to do next. They don’t know how to represent themselves. They come from this wrestling bubble and that’s it. So, we’re here to assist people with the transition to market them," he said.

The former 24/7 Champion has also expressed his desire to focus more on pursuing an acting career. He recently appeared in the movie Snake Eyes, in which he played a small role as a streetfighter.

Although Rawley revealed that he is planning to return to the wrestling business in the future, he stated that his comeback would not be soon.
