More favorable contract terms or re-positioning their place in the roster. Samoa Joe was definitely one of those, as he is performing more coaching-related duties now that no doubt required a restructuring of this contract (this is my speculation though, so take it with a grain of salt).
I personally believe it's only a matter of time before they bring Braun Stroman back into the fold too. Dude was way too expensive for WWE as he got fast-tracked to the spotlight.
That said, I believe Rotunda had some personal things going on with WWE management that also led to his release.
I think the lesson here is they don't necessarily have personal issues with WWE to be let go; it's simply a cost-saving measure and the characters can still be in demand for TV.
