5 Times WWE Superstars wanted to leave the company (and how Vince McMahon reacted)

WWE veteran Goldust had been with the company for a long time and wasn't satisfied with his standing on the roster back in 2019. Soon after WrestleMania 35, Goldust announced that he had requested his release from WWE a while ago.

Vince McMahon didn't want to let him go though. According to reports, Vince McMahon wasn't thrilled when he learned that Goldust wanted his release, and refused to let him go. WWE EVP Triple H convinced Vince to grant Goldust his release, and he finally confirmed his exit on April 21.

Goldust, now using the moniker of Dustin Rhodes, made his way to AEW, where he wrestled his first match at Double Or Nothing, the promotion's first show. Dustin lost to his brother Cody, and the duo hugged it out after the contest as the fans in attendance cheered in unison. Rhodes has been doing well for himself in All Elite Wrestling so far and seems very happy with his current standing. His match with Cody proved that he still has a lot left in the tank, and just needed the opportunity to showcase it in front of the fans.
