WWE News & Rumor Roundup: Superstar reportedly released due to backstage heat; Roman Reigns 'lobbying' to renew rivalry with Hall of Famer; Top name calls Dolph Ziggler an all-time great (25th November 2021)

#4 Jaxson Ryker was released by WWE due to backstage heat

Jaxson Ryker was let go by WWE this month along with multiple other superstars. Fightful Select reported that Ryker had a lot of backstage heat at the time of his release from the company.

Jaxson Ryker was said to have had “an incredible amount of heat” in the locker room at the time of his release, says Fightful Select.

Ryker was part of the stable called The Forgotten Sons before aligning himself with Elias. WWE's attempt to push Ryker fell flat both times and he eventually became a regular on Main Event before being released by WWE.

Jaxson Ryker had heat in the locker room ever since he made some politically controversial statements in support of Donald Trump. Despite his political opinion, he was retained by WWE and only let go after being given multiple chances to shine.
