12 Wrestlers Who Left WWE In 2018
Rich Swann-ed off, and Enzo was No-moré.
Like every year, 2018 saw a host of WWE supserstars forced to redirect their mail from Stamford, after earning the company's dreaded 'Future Endeavours' mail-merge.
Unlike every year, the reasons for these departures were dramatically different. For the first time in yonks, Vince McMahon neglected to do his traditional post-WrestleMania 'spring cleaning', instead content to stockpile a mammoth main-roster regardless of their relevance or utility.
Pretty much everybody from the top-line shows who received their P45 found themselves out of the door for very specific reasons. The turbulent personal lives of a one-time top-level tag team saw both members get the boot - to the chagrin of pretty much nobody - and a former Cruiserweight champ was likewise let go when his private tribulations overshadowed his value to the company.
In 2018, you have to try really hard to get sacked by WWE. Given just how much money is idling in the coffers, the company can now afford to keep anybody and everybody on the books lest they leave and do a Cody.
Unless you're a no-note NXT trainee that is. That Performance Center is getting pretty full.
10. Enzo Amore
Everybody's least favourite Smack Talker Skywalker Enzo Amore became the subject of considerable scandal in January, when he was investigated over claims of an alleged sexual assault. Amore vehemently denied the allegations, and the Phoenix PD agreed, dropping the case over lack of evidence.
Nevertheless, WWE were absolutely fuming that their employee had failed to inform them of the investigation, only finding out when the rest of the world did. Despite being Cruiserweight champ at the time, he was fired immediately.
Since then, Amore has traded wrestling to become a seriously sh*t rapper. He gatecrashed Survivor Series under a disguise, before being ejected from the arena by heavy-handed security. It's difficult to predict what he'll do next.
