At the age of 72, Ric Flair is now a free agent. The two-time WWE Hall of Famer is free to go to another company.

According to the report, Flair was frustrated with WWE Creative. He reached out to Vince McMahon and stated his opinion before requesting the release.

He then asked for his release. The rest, as they say, is history.

“The Fiend” Bray Wyatt was a major draw for the WWE. He also had an organic connection with the fans.

Andrew Zarian from Mat Men Pro Wrestling recently tweeted some interesting information about Bray Wyatt’s release. He offered a quote from someone at either FOX or the USA Network.

It provides insight into the disappointment the network feels over Windham Rotunda’s release. Check it out, below.

As you can see, the network isn’t only frustrated, but a little scared. After all, Rotunda was a “top star” in the WWE.

Bray Wyatt Also Had Issues With WWE Creative

Another report revealed that Bray Wyatt was frustrated with WWE Creative, too. This had to do with his angles, plus, he was quite protective over his characters.

Sadly, as he moves on, those gimmicks still belong to VKM and the WWE.

Andrew Zain also tweeted that he speaks to many networks each week. While they aren’t big wrestling fans, for the most part, they do know names.

He added that Bray Wyatt was a name that was known. So it seems that Wyatt’s release wasn’t only a disappointment to the fans, but also the higher-ups.

It’s hard to say what Wyndham Rotunda does next. However, he’s an extreme talent, so the opportunities are endless.

From his creative mind to in-ring talent, and mic skills, he can do anything in the land of professional wrestling. Maybe even beyond the squared circle.
