There is a little exodus, the WWE would have already denied the release of The Revival and Mike and Maria Kanellis while allowing the release of Hideo Itami. But the news of Ambrose that would leave at the end of his contract in April would probably have attracted the attention of the WWE. Especially with All Elite Wrestling, a new and well-funded company, ready to spread its wings.
