Sasha Banks grabbed the headlines recently with the rumors that she has asked for a release from WWE. One of the biggest reasons for that is WWE not treating her as a top superstar and not giving her the proper push.
Sasha won the Women's Tag Team titles at Elimination Chamber along with Bayley. What many (including Sasha herself) expected to be a nice long reign was cut short at WrestleMania 35 when they lost their titles to the IIconics.
Sasha is very upset with this and has asked for her release. With wrestlers like The Revival, and Mike and Maria also reportedly asking for their release, WWE authorities would surely be in a panic mode. Who all can follow them and do the same?
A lot of discussions and meetings would be going on about who all to push so that they don't leave the company. The growing competition is surely a great thing for these wrestlers as WWE is finally understanding their value and are giving them what they deserve.
In this article, let's take a look at the 5 superstars/wrestlers who WWE should push so that they don't ask for their release. Who do you think can ask for their release next? Let us know in the comments section below.
#5 Shinsuke Nakamura
Shinsuke Nakamura was one of the biggest signings of WWE in the last decade. Having already proven his potential in the other part of the world, Nakamura made his way to the biggest wrestling promotion in America, WWE.
After having a great stint in NXT, Nakamura was pushed heavily in the main roster last year. Winning the Royal Rumble, he went on to challenge for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania. But everything went downhill from there onwards.
I still am not sure how good of an idea it was to turn him heel without giving him a manager. As a result, Nakamura is currently a glorified jobber with no direction whatsoever.
WWE better make good use of him as losing someone like Nakamura would be a huge loss for them. Pairing him with someone like Paul Heyman (as mentioned in one of my other articles) could help him revive his career and become a huge star in WWE.
#4 Cesaro
Cesaro has for so long been in the Tag Team division. While his team with Sheamus is pretty fun to watch, but as a fan, you can't help but wonder how much more he could do as a singles competitor.
With The Bar being away from the Tag Team Championship scene, WWE should better think about utilizing Cesaro in some other way. He is one of the best wrestlers in WWE currently, and losing him would be a huge loss. Even Sheamus recently spoke that he wants to see Cesaro as a World Champion.
WWE can split the two in the current superstar shake-up and push Cesaro to a mid-card title reign. I for once would love to see Cesaro vs Samoa Joe for the United States Championship.
#3 The Ascension
The Ascension is the best example of how you can ruin your career in the main roster even after ruling NXT. What was once a very dominating tag team, is hardly someone who fans expect to see get a win on a Monday Night. Not like fans don't like them, but the way they are booked is horrible.
With the recent rise of AEW, if WWE doesn't use them well, then don't be surprised if The Ascension asks for their release. (Though I'd love to see The Ascension vs The Young Bucks lol)
If Vince can't figure out how to use them properly, let them go back to NXT where Triple H could make them a star again. They can later come back to the main roster with a repackaged gimmick and show the fans their true potential.
#2 Karl Anderson and Gallows
Karl Anderson and Gallows are a perfect example of how WWE doesn't know how to handle a Tag Team that has the potential to be the top stars of your company.
Coming red hot from NJPW, it was not long before these two were pretty much buried and not used properly in WWE. They might have won the Tag Titles, but currently, they aren't booked to their potential.
These two may well be in line to ask for their release if WWE doesn't do anything with them soon. The best thing WWE can do with them is to reunite them with either Finn Balor or AJ Styles (or both) and make them a heel faction who would run havoc on the main roster, pretty much like the Bullet Club.
#1 Andrade
Andrade (no more Cien Almas) is one of the brightest prospects to move up to the main roster from NXT. If you don't know him, just go and watch any of his recent matches against Rey Mysterio. This guy is just too good inside the ring.
It's just sad that after almost one year in the main roster, Andrade hasn't done any significant thing yet. He is a future World Champion and can sell out arenas if booked properly.
With him already mentioning his displeasure with his spot in the company, it might not be long before the Mexican star asks for his release. WWE would surely not want to lose such a bright prospect and should better push him.
He would make for a great Mr. Money in the Bank if booked properly. His wrestling style and charisma could make him an overnight star in the Money in the Bank match itself. Moreover, it will guarantee him a World Title shot in the future, something that will make him stay.
Who do you think could be the next in line to ask for a release? How should WWE handle this situation? Sound off in the comments section.
