Stay or go? While that used to be an easy question to answer, especially if you were working for WWE, its become harder thanks to an influx of opportunities.
In fact, between ROH, NJPW, AEW and Impact Wrestling all looking for talent and things drying up for some superstars in WWE, a move sometimes just makes sense!

With that being said, and rumors running rampant right now about superstars requesting their release from WWE, here are five superstars that should move on from the company. Keep in mind that these will be based on several different factors including, what they accomplished and their current situation, but also by how WWE books them.

#5 Bray Wyatt
Bray Wyatt is a bit of an interesting case.
He debuted as a cult member on Monday Night Raw and while he originally was booked relatively strong, WWE started handing him loss after loss.
Even worse, they kept handing him losses even when it made no sense for them to do so and when they should have been building him up.
One perfect example of this is his match against John Cena at WrestleMania 30, where he lost clean to Cena relatively quick.
Not only was that a huge shock to fans who thought that this was Wyatt's chance to shine, it also angered them that WWE was choosing to hold back a star with such potential.
In the end, Wyatt has had a lot of backstage heat on him lately over problems in his personal life and it doesn't seem like things are going to get much better once he returns.
Unfortunately for Wyatt, he will most likely end up as a mid-card Superstar when he does return and will have little chance of getting near the title picture.
With that being said and Wyatt seemingly reaching his limits in WWE, why not walk out and go somewhere else?
At least that way, he can gain more control over the Wyatt character again and maybe even bring its full version to life. Beyond that, he could turn out to be a huge star for TNA, AEW or ROH, which could help him come back to WWE later.
#4 Nia Jax
It's no secret that Nia Jax needs a fresh start and what better way to accomplish that than by walking out on WWE?
Not only would this allow the former champion to walk away from the negativity she has been facing after the incident with Becky Lynch, but it could also give another company a chance to retool her character.
Think about it! What if Nia Jax went to AEW, TNA or ROH and did her facebreaker gimmick there?
While some might think going back to the facebreaker gimmick could be a detriment, it could actually help her if the right person is willing to run with it. In fact, it could be the gimmick that puts her back in the title picture somewhere else!
If nothing else, there is no way WWE is going to put Jax anywhere near the title picture after the incident with Becky Lynch, which leaves little opportunity for her in WWE.
Sure, maybe she could make a run at The women's tag team titles, but with the negativity, she is still facing and WWE seemingly still not very happy with her, a walkout makes sense for both sides.
#3 Bayley
Believe it or not, Bayley was once on top of the world!
In fact, back down in NXT, she was a Women's champion, a member of The four horsewomen and a cornerstone of the Women's revolution!
She then came up to the main roster where she defeated Charlotte For The Raw Women's title but has had a severe career slump since that time.
Unfortunately for Bayley, her career slump comes down to two reasons. The first is that WWE refuses to give her character an edgier side, which is probably smart business sense but makes the character pretty one note.
The other problem is that WWE now has a lot of stars that they are willing to book with an edgier persona, thus eliminating the need for a character like Bayley
With that being said and WWE moving more and more towards edgier characters, one has to wonder if there is even a place for Bayley in today's WWE.
Beyond that, one also has to wonder if Bayley is wasting her time in WWE and if she would be much better off going somewhere else and starting anew.
In all honesty, she might not have the same drawing power as a Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch or Asuka, but if she went somewhere that was willing to experiment on her character, she could benefit immensely!
#2 AJ Styles
Speaking of accomplishing everything there is to in WWE, AJ Styles is another perfect example of that!
Not only is that evident by his WrestleMania dream match with Shinsuke Nakamura, but also by his multiple title runs and the time he has spent as the company's top guy as well.
If nothing else, Styles has succeeded in proving all the naysayers wrong and has absolutely no reason to stay in WWE anymore!
Beyond that, there are a lot of opportunities for dream matches outside of the company, which is another great reason why Styles should jump ship to another company!
In the end, Styles, especially after his WWE run, is the kind of superstar that can take a company to the top of the mountain.
With that being said and nothing else to prove back in the land of WWE, why not test the waters, go back on the indy scene and maybe even help another company surpass the sports entertainment giant?
#1 Shinsuke Nakamura
What happened to Shinsuke Nakamura?
While the man came into WWE with all the hype in the world and even won The NXT title on multiple occasions, he has bottomed out since arriving on the main roster.
Beyond that, he has also now become a one-note villain character that doesn't seem to serve many purposes besides giving the babyface someone to foil.
With that being said and The AJ Styles versus Shinsuke Nakamura dream match now over, what point is there of Nakamura sticking around in WWE? Maybe things would be different if they put the title on Nakamura and didn't turn him heel, but he serves little to no purpose on the main roster as is.
In the end, Nakamura would be a huge draw for companies like AEW, ROH and NJPW, which makes him staying in WWE kind of pointless.
If nothing else, WWE has proven that they have no interest in him as the top guy or even chasing the title anymore and that should be reason enough for Nakamura to look elsewhere for employment!
