33-year-old Wrestler Reveals He Sold His Business to Become a WWE Superstar Only to Get Released Later

WWE released too many pro-wrestlers from their contracts in 2021. It reached a point where the company making releases wasn’t even a shock anymore. It was just daily business.

Unfortunately, for the fans and the company, it might be a decision. But, for the pro-wrestlers it’s the end of their dreams.

Former WWE Superstar EJ Nduka spoke to Wrestling Inc about the type of sacrifices pro-wrestlers make to chase this dream. Getting an opportunity with WWE is massive for anyone aspiring to be a pro-wrestler, but when they get released without notice, it’s difficult to jump back from that point.

“It’s a big deal, man. We moved all the way from Southern California when we originally came over to Orlando. My wife had recently just graduated law school, I had a very successful medical spa business that I was doing. I ended up selling it to come chase this dream.”

“As fans and people outside of the business, you don’t realize a lot of these people uproot their entire families. They have jobs, they have careers, they have things that they were doing before they got this opportunity.” H/t Wrestling Inc

This is not the first time someone has spoken about the significant impact that the sudden release has on pro-wrestlers.

WWE doesn’t shy away from firing a McMahon

Vince McMahon doesn’t care who it is, no one disrupts WWE’s flow. As a result, when his own son created backstage chaos, he ended his working contract with the company.

Therefore, when Shane McMahon created trouble with quite a few people prior to Royal Rumble 2022, WWE ensured to ban him from any future productions, weekly shows and PPVs.

In fact, Shane McMahjn may not even be a part of any executive or administrative WWE decisions either.

At this point, it’s unknown if Shane plans to have his own wrestling promotion but he has left WWE, and may not return for any further appearances.

Circling back to pro-wrestlers’ sacrifices to be in WWE, it’s not that shocking when WWE doesn’t spare a McMahon.
