Despite having signed a new contract with WWE less than a year ago, it has been reported by Fightful Select that Roderick Strong has repeatedly been requesting his WWE release. Precisely why he wants out of WWE wasn’t revealed. Still, considering his wife and all three of his Undisputed Era stablemates are now with AEW, he is likely hoping to join them. This would also explain why WWE is declining the requests even though they constantly release talents to save money and have hardly used Strong recently.
Roderick Strong has asked for his WWE release “multiple times” over the last several months. We’re told that Strong has grown frustrated with many things over the past year within the company and had requested his release, which has been denied by WWE.
Fightful Select38-year-old Strong made his name wrestling for ROH and TNA before signing with WWE in 2016. His biggest success came when he joined Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O’Reilly in The Undisputed Era, winning the NXT North American Championship and NXT Tag Team Champions twice. However, the highly successful faction would disband, and he formed the Diamond Mine stable along with Tyler Rust, Malcolm Bivens, and Hachiman. Since then, though, the group has gone through multiple changes. Recently Strong would wrestle dark matches before SmackDown facing Tommaso Ciampa twice and LA Knight but has not yet received his main roster callup. Instead, he traveled to England to wrestle Ilja Dragunov for NXT UK.
