Which unhappy Superstars could be forced to stay in WWE?

According to recent rumors, a number of WWE Superstars are unhappy at their position in WWE right now including some top stars. Some may want to leave the WWE and especially since AEW was officially announced, are glancing in that direction and keeping tabs on where it goes.

However, despite quite a few unhappy Superstars recently released, there are some unhappy stars who Vince McMahon will definitely NOT allow to leave the WWE because they will immediately get signed up by WWE's competition.

Some argue that WWE have too many Superstars are on the roster for everyone to get used properly and they may have a point. Let's take a look at some unhappy WWE Superstars who definitely won't be allowed to leave the WWE.

#5 Rusev

You have to feel for Rusev. He's done everything in his power to be the best he can be but WWE never gives the guy a proper chance. Rusev is in the best shape of his career and has the fans behind him but WWE just never seems to care.

We thought it was a turnaround for Rusev's fortunes when he won the WWE United States Championship recently but of course, it wasn't. He lost it to R-Truth soon after before WWE turned the popular babyface heel again.

Rusev would be a top star in any other promotion in the world and I think he knows it. He's the kind of guy, who if WWE allowed him to leave, would return a couple of years later as a top star on the independent scene (unless AEW snapped him up). Vince McMahon knows he can't let someone as talented as Rusev leave for the competition and will keep him on the roster until his contract runs down.

#4 Shinsuke Nakamura

Shinsuke Nakamura has just dropped down the card continuously since winning the Royal Rumble in 2018 and then losing every title shot he had against AJ Styles. Despite winning the US Championship, Nakamura was given little to do with it before losing.

The King of Strong Style can't be happy with being booked as an afterthought and it looks like Vince McMahon just isn't a fan. However, despite that, there's no chance Vince lets Nakamura leave and join the competition.

#3 The Revival

The Revival were vocal in public about their spot on the card and how they felt WWE disrespected tag-team wrestling. Despite being the RAW Tag-Team Champions now, I'm pretty sure Dash and Dawson still have their eyes on the exit door.

Dash publicly hinted at being unhappy on Twitter some time ago when he revealed that someday The Revival would face The Young Bucks.

#2 Finn Balor

Finn Balor has had a great career in WWE but it could have been so much better. The former NXT Champion won the WWE Universal Championship at his first main roster PPV but unluckily was injured during it. He was forced to drop the title the following night.

Since his return, WWE haven't really done much with Balor, despite him being one of the most popular babyfaces on the roster. Yeah, he won the IC Championship, but so what? WWE didn't do anything with the run and he lost it on RAW.

Balor can't be happy with his booking but there's no way Vince McMahon let's him leave even if he wants to. Balor would immediately get signed up by AEW if he left the WWE and I'm sure if it came to that, Vince McMahon would rather hand Balor a big push to placate him instead.

#1 Ronda Rousey

We've all heard the rumors - Ronda Rousey reportedly wants to leave the WWE after WrestleMania to start a family with her husband Travis Brown.

However, with SmackDown going to FOX later this year. WWE needs all the star power they can get and Vince McMahon must know that Rousey will be a top draw. Rousey has taken to professional wrestling like a fish to water and impressed from the moment she stepped inside the WWE ring.

Rousey won the RAW Women's Championship soon after her debut and now heads into WrestleMania 35 as champ, ready to defend her title against Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair in the biggest women's match in the history of WWE. Instead of throwing crazy money to sign Brock Lesnar to a new deal, WWE will get a lot more value for money by keeping Rousey on their roster. Vince has to get her to stay for at least 2 more years and he must know it.
