5 WWE stars who were released in 2018 - Where are they now?

#2 Big Cass

Shockingly, Big Cass was released from his WWE contract back in Ju

Big Cass was a shock release earlier this year after the former NXT star was out with an injury at the beginning of 2018. Cass returned as part of the 2018 Superstar Shake-up in April and targetted the returning Daniel Bryan.

Bryan and Cass faced off at both Backlash and Money in the Bank, before his shock release was announced on June 19th. It was later revealed by Sports Illustrated that his release was due to behavioral issues, including public intoxication during a WWE tour and disobeying orders from Vince McMahon.

Cass was then forced to sit out his 90-day no-compete clause and has since become another name who has branched out onto the Independent Circuit following his WWE release and has wrestled at a number of different promotions, most recently at House of Hardcore.
