5 WWE superstars released in 2016 and where they are now

Ryback was released in 2016

#4 Cody Rhodes

Rhodes might be the best heel in the business

Cody Rhodes should’ve left the WWE a long time ago, and the man himself has even admitted that his father gave him the same advice shortly after WrestleMania 28. The youngster has flourished since breaking out on his own, making some serious noise in promotions all over the world including ROH, WCPW, NJPW and many more.

Rhodes continues to win championships left right and centre, with his initial list of desired opponents leading to several great matches thus far. If he keeps this up, WWE will have no choice but to once again take notice of Cody which could potentially lead to a return somewhere down the line. As of right now though, he seems more than happy with his current situation.

You’re welcome.
