Won't : They are afrid how much creative freedom they will/eon't have inside WWE

The Bucks and Omega currently have a ton of creative freedom in NJPW/ROH.

One thing that may or may not be as important to some wrestlers as money is creative freedom.

Some wrestlers are perfectly fine having a bad gimmick or low post in the pecking order as long as their making the big bucks.

Guys like Cody, the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega clearly value having creative freedom above making mountains upon mountains of money.

The lack of creative input for Cody as Stardust is one of the big reasons he asked for his release from WWE.

Since he's been away from WWE, he's crafted the American Nightmare persona, a play on his father's moniker of the American Dream.

He's primarily been a heel but has had face showings when the Bullet Club broke apart among others.

When Omega came back to NJPW as 'The Cleaner', he was a hilarious, over the top persona but uber-talented butt kicker in the Junior Heavyweight division.

When it was apparent that he was destined for greater things, he cut back on some of his earlier heel tendencies, instead relying more on his mic skills, wrestling ability and endurance.

As a face IWGP Heavyweight Champion, he's been a literal champion for the craft of pro wrestling rather than it being more sports entertainment spectacle.

His long matches are often masterpieces, unlike some of the 20 minute Roman Reigns matches that closed out recent WrestleManias.

The Bucks also had a disappointing run (by their standards) in TNA as Generation Me.

They still had great matches but never really had much of a chance to show personalities.

Their main fear is that they won't be able to continue being the characters they've created that have helped make them so successful both financially and inside the ring.

The WWE does have rules for talents to follow regarding scripted promos and what they can/cannot say.

People like the Elite wouldn't like being told what to do and say, so that might be a huge reason they stay away from WWE.
