WWE Rumors: Speculation On Other Talents Seeking Release, Dolph Ziggler’s Status

Rumors on other WWE Superstars possibly leaving the company!

After rumors popped up yesterday that The Revival, Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder, requested their release from WWE following their match with Lucha House Party on RAW (see the story here), there’s been some speculation on the status of some other Superstars possibly being on their way out of the company or seeking their release.

Recently, there have been rumors that Dolph Ziggler may be finishing up with WWE, as he has not been on the road with the company since losing a Steel Cage Match to Drew McIntyre in December. Since then, ‘The Show Off’ has removed his Dolph Ziggler name from Twitter and replaced it with his real name, Nick Nemeth. According to PWInsider, sources have told them that Ziggler is still under contract to WWE and is not leaving, but there has also been speculation he could be done on January 31st. At this time nothing has been confirmed, but it should be noted that Ziggler is getting ready for a stand-up comedy tour.

Additionally, PWInsider reports they are hearing from sources that 205 Live Superstar Mike Kanellis requested his release from the company three weeks ago, but was denied. Reportedly, other talents in WWE are under the impression Kanellis was looking to go back to Ring Of Honor. It’s being said that his wife, Maria Kanellis, also was seeking her release, but that has not been confirmed.

Lastly, with the start of All Elite Wrestling there are many fans who have thought that Goldust, who is of course the brother of Cody Rhodes, could wind up with the new promotion. PWInsider is noted that any speculation on Goldust looking for a WWE release has been unsubstantiated.

EA’s Take: Look, I’m sure there are people who want out. The Kanellis’ being a couple of them wouldn’t surprise me in the least, as they’ve barely been used since Maria was cleared to return. However, there is a ZERO percent chance WWE is going to grant anybody their release right now. Just look at what they did with Neville! Whether you agree with it or not (and I’m sure a lot of fans will bash the company for it), they aren’t going to let these people go so they can walk over to the “competition”. It’s just not going to happen.
