5 times Vince McMahon denied a Superstar's release

Lio Rush

Lio Rush has had a whirlwind year or so in WWE. He first appeared in 205 Live last year after being at NXT for a year, and then was moved to the main roster to be Bobby Lashley's hype man/manager.

But it all went sour earlier this year when reports emerged that Rush had huge backstage hear with the Superstars in the locker room and that he had an attitude issue. He tried to clear the air and explain his side of the story in an interview with Fightful, where he complained about being broke.

Rush hasn't been seen on television for a few months, but was offered a new five-year contract with better pay, as per PWInsider, which he reportedly rejected and asked WWE to release him from his current contract, which hasn't happened yet. The report further states that Rush's current contract with WWE expires in 2020.
