#8 TJP
Former Cruiserweight Champion and the winner of the first-ever Cruiserweight Classic was let go by the company in February this year. TJ Perkins had been quite vocal about his unhappiness in the WWE and was reportedly fired for disciplinary reasons and not cost-cutting.
While answering an AMA question on Reddit recently TJP talked about how the WWE matches are micromanaged and not fun to perform:
Your match just isn't your match there for many guys. Some guys they play favorites with and will sit down more creatively and have more fun. Others your basically an ant collecting crumbs with another ant in a line full of ants.
#7 Rhyno
Former ECW Champion Rhyno had become a fan-favourite during his last run with WWE, thanks to his team with Heath Slater. However, the in-ring veteran parted ways with the company in July this year, his last major appearance being at WrestleMania.
Rhyno soon made a return to Impact Wrestling and has been with the company since then. Rhyno is currently feuding with another ECW Legend Rob Van Dam in Impact.
