10 Wrestlers Who QUIT During WWE Raw
These wrestlers decided enough was enough in the midst of WWE Raw.
What was once known as Vince McMahon's flagship television product has seen more than its fair share of jaw-dropping and wholly unexpected occurrences over its near-three-decade existence.
Yet, perhaps the most impactful and shocking happenings to grace this now-three-hour slog have actually gone down without a camera in sight as a whole host of some of the most talented, charismatic, and largely disrespected sensations have all felt the need to leave the WWE Chairman sporting the sort of stunned look that would usually accompany an Austin glass smash throughout the late '90s.
And while others have been known to bite their tongues and keep their heads down until their deals ultimately expire under the noses of their oblivious employers, this bunch of outspoken and brave souls decided that enough was enough and opted to give the boss and his company the finger during the production of Monday Night Raw.
From long-overlooked and misused superstars-in-waiting calling it a day due to creative issues, to beaten up and battered icons feeling the need to save themselves from the unstoppable machine, these wrestlers decided they were done on the day of the red brand's TV tapings.
10. 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin
Very much reminding the whole of the wrestling world why he sits as undoubtedly the most popular face in history of this great industry by the time he'd smashed his last few Broken Skull IPA's together on the 'Mania 38 stage, the Texas Rattlesnake seen stunning the past and present inside of AT&T Stadium felt like a world away from the one who was clearly growing disenchanted by the business two decades earlier.
Clearly somewhat p*ssed over the handling of his feud with Scott Hall coming into WrestleMania X-8, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin had quite evidently had enough of WWE as a whole by the time that year's show of show had ridden off into the distance.
Feeling exhausted and disrespected over his placement on the card and the late Scott Hall even supposedly turning up hungover before their Show of Shows bout, the one-time face of the company opted to no-show both the post-Mania party and Raw after the eighteenth Showcase of the Immortals in what would turn out to be a precursor for one of the most infamous walkouts in WWE history.
A knackered Austin felt he needed to be at home, and that was the bottom line...
