When All Elite Wrestling became an official thing in January this year, everyone took notice.

Led by Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks, the new promotion certainly has everyone talking, and has the money to be a competent product, in the form of Tony Khan.

One group that has been monitoring AEW closely, is the WWE, who have been reportedly offering double-price contracts to Superstars to stay with the brand.

We've even seen some stars get a shine on the main roster, with The Revival, Sasha Bank, and Samoa Joe all receiving huge pushes after fans pondered that they would leave.

But not everyone has become huge stars since this brand war, and fans certainly are taking notice.

Here are five WWE Superstars the company needs to push so their talent avoid leaving for AEW, New Japan, or elsewhere.


#5 Tyler Breeze

Tyler Breeze may, unfortunately, go down in WWE history as the biggest flop on the main roster to come from NXT.

A huge star in the company's developmental brand, many hoped for big things for Prince Pretty, who joined the main roster in 2015.

Instead, Breeze struggles for air-time and is almost always on the losing end of those few matches he has.

With AEW now a thing, many are expecting Breeze, who has developed a cult following as an underdog, to join the new promotion sooner rather than later.

Though WWE may not have any plans for Breeze, the last thing they need is another star from the company joining Cody's federation.

It wouldn't need to be a huge push, but the WWE need something for Breeze, or he may be gone by the end of the year.

4: Dean Ambrose

The company is still reportedly hoping to re-sign the former WWE World Champion, even though he is scheduled to leave very soon.

I know what you're thinking, Dean Ambrose is already scheduled to leave the WWE after WrestleMania 35.

And though that is true, at least from the fans' perspective, it has been reported that the company is hoping to re-sign the Lunatic Fringe to a very lucrative contract.

If a deal is agreed though, the company will definitely have to push Ambrose more prominently, perhaps into a World championship feud.

Facing off against Seth Rollins could be a great starting feud for the Architect, if he captures the Universal Title from Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.

If he does re-sign, special care will need to be taken by the company, or else it'll only be a matter of time before the Lunatic Fringe actually leaves for good.

#3 Bray Wyatt

Wyatt won the WWE World Championship at Elimination Chamber in 2017, but lost the title just weeks later.

Bray Wyatt is a former WWE World Champion but you'd be excused if you didn't remember his reign.

Joining the main roster in 2013, Wyatt started off hot (literally) with a victory over Kane in the first ever Ring of Fire match.

Things would quickly go downhill, as Wyatt would be involved in big feuds with the likes of John Cena, The Undertaker, Roman Reigns and Randy Orton, but would always emerge on the losing end of these battles.

Though his one world title reign was forgettable, Wyatt would certainly be a huge star wherever he went, even in AEW or New Japan.

Unless the WWE want one of their most striking or unique stars leaving them very soon, something needs to be done for the Eater of Worlds.

#2 Finn Balor

The Extraordinary man did briefly hold the Intercontinental Title, though many still hope Balor will return to the World title picture in the near future.

Finn Balor is a true anomaly in WWE.

Debuting in 2014 in NXT, Balor is one of the company's most gifted and beloved stars, which is perhaps why the company made him their very first WWE Universal Champion.

Unfortunately, an injury forced the Irishman to surrender the title the next day, and Balor has struggled to get back into the World title picture since his return nearly two years ago.

In WWE's defense, Balor did briefly hold the Intercontinental Championship, winning it from Lashley, but lost it back to him mere weeks later,

Perhaps a move to SmackDown would be the best call for Balor, as many argue it is the more athletic of the two brands, where Balor's star could shine much brighter.

#1 Rusev

One of WWE's most popular stars in recent years, it baffles many why Rusev hasn't already been a World Champion.

A solid hand in the ring, and charismatic on the mic, the Bulgarian seemingly has it all to be a Superstar, but has often found himself in pointless feuds.

This has clearly affected Rusev, who has teased leaving the company several times, and could do just that in 2019.

Even if the WWE don't consider him the face of the company, keeping him on SmackDown as a heel is great.

A Money in the Bank victory would easily push the popular mid-carder to the next level, as though he did receive a mini push last Christmas, it came and went remarkably quickly.

A popular star who is good for international PR, WWE should be treating the Bulgarian better.
