10 Superstars That Will LEAVE WWE In 2022

4. Kona Reeves

The CV simply doesn't make for optimistic reading.

Though currently out injured, Kona Reeves will enter his eighth year in the WWE system in 2022, and as yet hasn't really managed to find his feet on NXT let alone make the jump to Raw or SmackDown.

Furthermore, not only has he not been the preserve of the black-and-gold brand's weekly show, but he's not won everything on the old largo loop either. A skim through his pre-pandemic stats finds more losses than wins - a pattern that hasn't fixed itself since the halcyon developmental days of 2015.

None of this is to say Reeves doesn't offer tremendous value internally, but it's not yet been something WWE have found the time to express in front of the lens. When fully recovered and fighting fit, it may be make or break for the former 'Finest'. At 30, his wrestler prime years should be right now or right around the corner.
