I assume this will get merged with the releases thread once it's opened, but I don't think anyone is really shocked here.

They did absolutely nothing with Kushida so I'm not shocked at all.

Worth noting it said he left WWE, not that he was released, apparently.

I feel like he showed up at the wrong time. He popped into NXT in the middle of a bad time where new people weren’t cracking the main event scene. Then all the covid shows killed the momentum Of the entire product.
He was in no man’s land. Didn’t have a NXT glory years run to fall back on and parlay into a main roster run and he didn’t fit in with the new look NXT

Dude was completely wasted in WWE. With the AEW/NJPW relationship looking to be growing and Khan having to build ROH, he'd be perfect to head there.
Hell he just deserves better period.

Oh yeah, not noted by Fightful but is definitely noteworthy is that he deleted his Twitter account as well. So maybe something happened in his personal life and he requested to leave the company.

Dude's definitely going back to New Japan, and the AEW Crossover will only benefit them
I would love to see a Time Splitters reunion...

I think he’d get lost in the shuffle in AEW. If he wants to stay in North America I’d go to Impact or ROH. He’d be a star in either one, in AEW he’d just be another dude I think

When is the releases section going to be unlocked and merged? Because it looks like Rey Mysterio left too.

Good for him. After a hot start, WWE did less than nothing with him.
I’d imagine he’ll be back in New Japan before long

I also assume this doesn't bode well for Jiro since Kushida is gone
Dude's actually entertaining but in a way where I dont think WWE's gonna fully get it or let him shine

He's listed with the rest of the WWE Superstars on the main page, and isn't in the Alumni section. Maybe it was a website error, but that's been fixed if it was.

Kushida signed in April of 19..most deals are 3 years. His contract likely expired.

Guess it is no longer time to jacket.
... I'll be honest, Kushida's kind of one of those people I've always recognized is very talented but never especially actually cared about.
