5 WWE Superstars That Could be unhappy about their spot within the Company

Over the past few weeks and months, we've all heard about people like Sasha Banks, Luke Harper, The Revival, Rusev, Anderson & Gallows and others being unhappy, but recently, reports have surfaced that plenty more WWE stars are unhappy with their spots, but are opting to keep quiet about it. With the recent changes and lack of direction in WWE, it's possible that a majority of the entire roster is displeased with the company right now, but from a booking perspective, we can determine some specific stars that this could be referring too.

While there were no specific names mentioned in these reports, they did state that they were looking to remain anonymous, so naturally, speculation has begun running rampant. So without further ado, sit back and read along as we take a look at the current landscape within WWE, and 5 superstars that could possibly be behind these rumors.

#5 EC3

Ethan Carter has had a very up and down career in professional wrestling, and despite his humor, charisma and fantastic look, WWE have managed to do absolutely nothing with him since he returned. His career began with WWE as Derrick Bateman, but that didn't work out, and after becoming a star in Impact Wrestling, it looked like it was only a matter of time until he'd be back in Vince McMahon's company.

He's barely been seen since arriving on the main roster, and with his character's non-PG sense of humor, it's highly unlikely that they'll successfully find a way to utilize his talents in 2019. Given how much work he put in to go from being released by WWE reject to World Champion in Impact, it's sad to see how he's been treated within WWE now, and he can't be happy about them completely stalling any and all momentum he had.

#4 Mickie James

When it's all said and done, Mickie James will be remembered as one of the greatest female wrestlers in WWE history, but seeing how she's been treated since her 2017 return, you wouldn't know it. Despite a strong start by aligning with Alexa Bliss, WWE haven't had a clue how to book the iconic James, and nowadays with the likes of Lynch, Charlotte, Asuka, Moon, Bayley and others in the spotlight, she's a complete afterthought on SmackDown Live.

In fact, many people probably haven't even realized that she moved to SmackDown in the recent Superstar Shake-Up, and that tells you just how poor her booking has been. James is a 6-time World Champion within WWE, and will no doubt be heading to the Hall of Fame when her career is over, but for her current status within the company, there's no doubt she'd be upset, and would like one more great run before it's all over.

#3 Cesaro

Lists about who should have been WWE Champion by now have compiled many times over the past few years, and every one of them involves Cesaro; but for some reason, WWE haven't quite caught on yet. The Swiss Superman has absolutely everything it takes to succeed in wrestling, but WWE continue placing him in thrown-together tag teams. After years of neglect, he is presumably unhappy with his position.

Every time Cesaro is given a shot as a singles performer, he knocks it out of the park (see his matches with John Cena especially), so it's time they get behind him. With Drew McIntyre, Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, AJ Styles and others seemingly ahead of him in the pecking order on RAW, it's unlikely; so when his contract comes up, he should seriously consider looking at alternatives to WWE, especially if All Elite Wrestling succeeds the way many expect it too.

#2 Chad Gable

Chad Gable is one of the most naturally-gifted and charismatic stars in WWE, but since the breakup of American Alpha, the company has yet to figure out what to do with the former Olympian. He's made everything he's done in WWE so far work, and if WWE got behind him as a singles star, he'd be a very valuable mid-card performer, with the ability to have good matches with anybody on the roster.

Unfortunately, with so many people being misused, Gable is very low down on WWE's priority list. Considering his superstar potential, perhaps walking away from WWE is the wisest thing for him. Like Kurt Angle, Chad made the transition to pro wrestling incredibly smoothly, and that's all been under WWE's banner. But with the sheer number of superstars ahead of him, and the young stars waiting to be called up on NXT, he may need to make the hard decision to put himself first, because it would definitely pay off.

#1 Shinsuke Nakamura

Shinsuke Nakamura came to WWE with all the hype in the world behind him after an incredible career in his native Japan. After a brief, fantastic run to begin his career, it's all gone downhill. The King of Strong Style has a flair and a charisma that no other in wrestling possesses, but for some reason, WWE just couldn't book him well enough, to the point where he is now simply treading water on SmackDown Live.

Reports coming from within WWE are that Nakamura has simply 'checked out', and is performing just so his family can continue living in Florida, and that's quite sad. While he enjoys the surf and the life in Florida, there's definitely a chance he can make a great living away from WWE while staying in the Sunshine State; so he'll need to think long and hard before re-signing with the company, which would probably continue the lackluster booking pattern with him.
