Former WWE official claims "very few" stars leave happily

A former WWE official recently took to Twitter to claim that only a few stars leave the company on good terms.

On September 21st, 2023, WWE released over 21 stars. Some famous names like Dolph Ziggler, Mustafa Ali, and Shelton Benjamin all exited the Stamford-based company. These releases came following the recent merger of the company with UFC.

Right after the merger, reportedly more than 100 individuals lost their jobs on the administrative side of the company. The second wave of cuts included the wrestlers. Fans have always raised questions and criticized the company's handling of these types of situations.

Former official Mike Chioda replied to a tweet asking him and The Rock if anyone ever left the company happy. This tweet came after a lot of big names were handed their cut. You can see the tweet below:

"Hey Chris! Very few have achieved that goal. But I feel what your saying. And thank you very much for always supporting me with my career in @WWE" - Mike Chioda wrote.
