5 Current WWE Superstars who could possibly be very unhappy with their creative direction

(Disclaimer: The opinions expressed are author's own and do not reflect Sportskeeda's stand on the same.)

Jon Moxley, formerly known as Dean Ambrose in WWE has been entrenched in wrestling headlines this past week, due to his appearance at AEW's Double or Nothing, but most recently because of his appearance on Chris Jericho's podcast, Talk is Jericho. Here, Moxley talked about the ridiculous creative process within WWE, and why it made him want to leave, and since that point, reports have been surfacing that many within WWE are incredibly unhappy with the same things Moxley talked about.

Dave Meltzer even said, “There’s way more that you are not aware of. I would go so far as to say that there are very few people and you can count them on one to two hands, that have not at least inquired regarding what’s outside; including names that would shock you."

So without further ado, sit back and read along as we take Meltzer and Moxley's talking points, examine and predict 5 superstars within WWE that could be extremely unhappy about their spots and creative direction within WWE.

#5 Braun Strowman

The Monster Among Men

During the 2017 year in WWE, Braun Strowman was being positioned as one of WWE's next top guys, and a potential monster heel, but for some reason, they've not given him the big time push we all expected. His booking has been quite odd for the past 6-8 months, and they clearly don't know what to do with The Monster Among Men.

He may not be your traditional independent wrestler, but Strowman has all the talent in the world, and if he was allowed to have some creative input with the direction of his character, he could shine. If there are still big plans for him, he could be huge for WWE going forward, but they've just lacked direction with his character, and his frustrations within the company must be growing by the week.

#4 Shinsuke Nakamura

The King of Strong Style

When Shinsuke Nakamura signed with WWE, he was in the prime of his career and one of the biggest names in all of wrestling, but since arriving on the main roster, his stock has completely plummeted. Recent reports have stated that The King of Strong Style is simply 'phoning it in' right now, and is only with WWE because his family enjoys living in Florida, and that's sad for someone with so much overwhelming charisma.

Not only is Nakamura an elite level performer inside the ring, he has an aura and magnetism that simply can't be described, and outside of WWE, he could shine once again. Ultimately, he's way past his prime at this point, as his best years are behind him, but he's still a huge name and a great overall performer, so not winning in WWE since February is unacceptable, and he should be motivated to get back to the independent scene.

#3 Cesaro

The Swiss Superman

In the latest WWE NEWS, Cesaro should have been a multi-time World Champion in WWE by now, but for some reason, Vince McMahon thinks he doesn't have the 'it factor', and that proves just how out of touch he is with the wrestling world today. He's got an incredible look and could genuinely be considered one of the best wrestlers on the planet, and he's proven time and time again that he can adapt to any role, and right now, he's just got no direction in WWE.

The Bar was a great use of him for the past year, but with Sheamus looking like he's on the way out of in-ring action because of cumulative injuries over the years, and outside of a few appearances on RAW, they don't seem to be interested in using him. The Swiss Superman came from Ring of Honor and the independent scene, and when his contract is up, it would make sense for him to return there, as WWE clearly have no idea just how much potential he has as a performer.

#2 The Revival

Top Guys

The Revival have a connection to The Elite that goes back years on their YouTube show 'Being the Elite', and with the way they've been treated in the past year by WWE, we may be getting The Revival in AEW soon. WWE aren't going to release Dash and Dawson anytime soon, but when their contract is up, it's almost a guarantee that the 2-time NXT Tag Team Champions are on their way out the door.

They've got just as much talent as anyone in the business, and we saw plenty of that in NXT, but it's clear that their nuanced gimmick has been severely lacking presence during their main roster run. Most people knew this would happen, and with the way AEW are looking to present their tag team division (the polar opposite to the way WWE does business), it would be best for The Revival to get out of WWE whenever possible.

#1 Rusev

The Super Athlete, Rusev

Rusev has the talent, the look and the charisma to be a top Champion in WWE, but ever since his first loss to John Cena at WrestleMania 31, the company has decided to turn it's back on the 'Super Athlete'. We've seen it happen before with the likes of Zack Ryder, as WWE don't like people getting over if they don't want them too, and ultimately, it turns out that Rusev was just way more popular than WWE ever wanted him to be.

He's been teasing that he'll leave the company for quite some time now, but given the amount of time he and his wife Lana get on SmackDown Live these days, there's no way he can be happy with his current situation. He'll likely not ask for a release, as that hasn't worked for many people over the past year, but when his contract with WWE is up, he'll be looking to explore greener pastures.
