#2 Bray Wyatt reportedly wanted out of WWE
The most shocking WWE release of 2021 was undoubtedly that of Bray Wyatt. The former Universal Champion was a fan-favorite and was doing great in terms of merchandise sales as well.
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, someone like Wyatt would only be released by the company if they wanted out themselves and made a lot of noise about it.

"Bray Wyatt is a completely different situation. Wyatt scared a lot of people because if someone like Wyatt gets fired, then only guys like Roman Reigns, Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar are safe. I think that’s not really the case when you are at that level. The only reason someone would want to cut someone like that would be if they wanted out and made a lot of noise about it," Meltzer said.
Bray Wyatt's future in wrestling is still a huge topic of discussion. While there has been heavy speculation of him joining All Elite Wrestling, that hasn't happened yet. As of now, he is reportedly engaged in a Hollywood project.
#1 Real reason behind WWE splitting AJ Styles and Omos
This past week on Monday Night RAW, WWE finally split the team of AJ Styles and Omos. The two lost to The Mysterios and after the match, the behemoth turned on his partner.
According to reports, Vince McMahon's promotion has significant plans for both Styles and Omos in 2022 which resulted in them being split up.
"If it felt like they sped up the Omos & AJ Styles spilt, it’s because they did. Source says both superstars have significant plans in early 2022, and wanted any type of blow off program done prior to the major Rumble & Mania events," WrestleVotes tweeted.
AJ Styles has been away from the main event scene for a long time now. Fans have been wanting to see him return to the world title picture and that could be a possible route for The Phenomenal One in 2022. As for Omos, it is to be seen how WWE books him as a singles star.
