It's been four months since former WWE superstar Nia Jax (real name Lina Fanene) was released from her contract.
Jax, a one-time Raw Women's Champion and two-time Women's Tag Team Champion (both instances were with Shayna Baszler) has been critical of the company since her release. Jax recently revealed that WWE even asked her to come back for a spot in the 30-woman Royal Rumble match, but she rejected the offer.
The former Raw Women's Champion took another shot at WWE on Wednesday. Responding to a fan who said they'd like to see her back in WWE, Jax stated that she receives daily calls on "on how everyone is miserable" there.
There have been several reports in recent months regarding unhappiness and frustration within the company. Apparently, backstage morale was low following the Royal Rumble. It was reported that Shane McMahon had disagreements with Brock Lesnar and Vince McMahon about the booking of the men's Royal Rumble match which led to Shane O'Mac's exit from the company.

And of course, numerous talents have publicly asked for their release from the company since the rise of AEW. The list includes The Revival, Mike Kanellis, Andrade and Sin Cara. On top of that, the promotion has performed plenty of superstar and employee cuts since the start of the pandemic in April 2020, and many of them have since landed with AEW.
For what it's worth, Jax stated after her WWE release that she is "unlikely" to wrestle again. Her final WWE match took place on the Sept. 20 edition of Raw, where Jax fell to Baszler.
WWE Can't Keep Everyone Happy
Clearly, many past (and surely some present) WWE talents have grown unhappy with the company at some point. Even top WWE stars like Daniel Bryan, Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly were content leave for new opportunities in the rival AEW promotion, and veteran mainstay Cesaro parted ways with the company after failing to reach an agreement on a new deal.
At the end of the day, WWE cannot keep every wrestler and employee happy, and that includes the long number of talents who were released or simply chose to leave for another opportunity.
