You can add Cody Rhodes and Eden to the list of talents released by WWE, either by way of the company, or of their own accord.
And now comes Cody Rhodes.
Cody Rhodes started posting a couple tweets earlier this month like this...

Just days later, it was announced that WWE came to terms with Cody Rhodes, and granted him his release. After it was annoucned, Cody released his own answer as to why he asked for and was granted his release.(1/2) The past ten years have been quite the trek, but as of earlier today I have asked for my release from @WWE— Hyrule Husky (@PrinceCGR) May 21, 2016
Now, days after that incident, WWE announcer Eden, who's real name is Brandi Runnels and is the real life wife of Cody, announced she has asked for and was granted her release. Today, she blogged about her decision, and explains that this was already in the plans, as she has other opportunities that have presented themselves.My one&only statement on the matter.
