• Reason Behind WWE Granting The Ascension Their Release
The Ascension was released from WWE a few days back. While other wrestlers had to wait a long time to get their release, that wasn’t the case for Konnor & Viktor of The Ascension.
According to Tom Colohue, The Ascension went to WWE officials to request their release from the company in a very professional way, and didn’t say anything about it on Social Media, and this eventually resulted in them getting their release easily:
“[Konnor and Viktor] have been in conversations [with WWE]. They did want to go but they didn’t kick up a fuss about it. They just quietly went about their business.
WWE have decided to essentially honour that on that basis. They like how they’ve gone about it, so nothing is planned in storyline. The WWE believe they simply have better options already, so The Ascension will be moving on.”
