For a long time, it was a given that the most talented wrestlers in the world either already worked for WWE or would eventually wind up there at some point in their careers.

However, times have changed. The Briscoes--current and former Ring of Honor world tag team champions--will likely end their careers without ever being in a WWE ring. Kenny Omega, the Pro Wrestling Illustrated pick for the top spot on their 500 greatest wrestlers list, has stated that he is perfectly happy not working for the WWE.

Even longtime WWE employees like Chris Jericho seem to have noticed the tide has turned. Jericho is now working openly for New Japan Pro-Wrestling and is rumored to be involved in All Elite Wrestling as well. And let's not forget his highly successful Rock N Wrestling Rager at Sea cruise.

With so many talented and popular wrestlers working for other companies, the WWE may lag behind.
