Cody Rhodes has done excessively well for himself after leaving WWE. He is a one time ROH World Champion and part of Six-Man Tag-Team Champion with The Young Bucks. Cody Rhodes has established himself as a main event wrestler and has achieved greater heights in the independent circuit ever since leaving WWE. The story continues for other wrestlers as well.
Not everybody tastes success once they get in WWE. Johny Morrison has found huge success at Lucha Underground and TNA after having left the company years back. While it doesn't look like he is returning, truth is, some wrestlers aren't made for WWE. With other wrestling circuits coming into the picture and competing with the World Wrestling Entertainment, there is a greater success rate for some wrestlers outside than at WWE. A circuit which is already filled with huge names and Hollywood stars.

Justin Gabriel as PJ Black and Damien Sandow as Aron Rex are doing increasingly well for their respective wrestling promotions. It is quite understood already, that talent alone doesn't sell a wrestler in WWE. Here, we take a look at five WWE wrestlers, who can achieve greater heights if they leave WWE.
#5 Chad Gable
Give me a chance to sing the outcries of Chad Gable. Initially, along with Jason Jordan, he was the talented babyface Tag-Team Division using their amateur wrestling foundations to wind up a current Steiner Brothers. Winning the NXT Tag Team Championships and the hearts of fans, they truly were one of the Performance Center's greatest examples of overcoming adversity.
American Alpha was set to run the table of SmackDown's Tag-Team division. That didn't work out in any case, and after a year, Jason Jordan was transported to RAW as Kurt Angle's child. From that point onward, Gable has been for the most part directionless. Put something aside for his short partnership with Shelton Benjamin on SmackDown, Gable has had no redeeming qualities to him, particularly since moving to RAW.
Gable can do exceedingly well for himself if he was to leave WWE and try indie circuits.
#4 Jinder Mahal
It's clearly not working for Jinder Mahal. He just doesn't have the audience's support to establish himself as an upper card wrestler in WWE. WWE tried all the ways possible to push Mahal at the top of the helm, even granting him victories against Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton while he had the WWE Championship belt. It just didn't work.
Jinder Mahal isn't that bad in the ring and his mic skills are decent enough to help him make it big in the Independent circuits. Jinder Mahal with his tight physique can definitely establish himself as a main event wrestler outside.
#3 Mojo Rawley
WWE have tried different ways to push Mojo Rawley. He is talented, has a great in-ring presence and has proved time and again that he is capable of giving great fights. Rawley went on to win the Andre The Giant Battle Royal but it served no purpose for the wrestler who has been struggling with a good storyline. Ever since shifting to the main roster, Rawley has had difficulties making his presence felt.
#2 Tye Dillinger
I, for one, would love to see him outside WWE. Tye Dillinger is immensely talented but short of screen presence even in the 2 hour stretch of WWE programming. After spending five years at NXT, Tye Dillinger should have been signed to the WWE as a big name. Someone who has worked for WWE before, Tye Dillinger is currently a lower-middle card wrestler who hardly has a storyline to follow.
He can certainly achieve more outside WWE. A wrestler like Tye Dillinger doesn't need big promotions like WWE to make a name for himself in the wrestling industry.
#1 Dolph Ziggler
Dolph Ziggler is a quality athlete, an immensely talented wrestler who holds the mic like any other great superstar in the wrestling promotion but always falls short on making it big. Even after almost a decade, much like other wrestlers, Dolph Ziggler still hasn't established himself as an upper card player.
After his loss at SummerSlam and reports suggesting that he still hasn't signed his new contract, I think it will be better if Ziggler "shows off" his skills in a different wrestling promotion.
