5 WWE Superstars who have hinted they'll leave once their contract expires

WWE has a diverse range of Superstars on their roster. From India to Mexico and America to Canada, we will see wrestlers from almost every country. While it’s good to have more talents in a company, but it also has its own disadvantages. One of the biggest con is that not every wrestler gets success in WWE.

Some main event calibers are stuck at the mid-card scene while some jobbers get undeserving title shots. Since WWE is no longer the only major promotion in this world, some wrestlers have left and became major Superstars in other companies. Cody Rhodes and John Morrison are great examples. While Cody is now AEW’s employee, Morrison is enjoying a great career in Impact Wrestling.

Currently, some talents are upset with their position in WWE, and they want to work somewhere else, but their contract is the only thing that’s not allowing them to do so. In this article, we will look at 5 WWE Superstars who have already hinted leaving once their contract ends.

#5 Sasha Banks

After months of planning, WWE finally introduced the Women’s Tag Team Championships. They booked a match for it at Elimination Chamber where Sasha Banks and Bayley got the victory.

Since winning the titles, both females did a great job, but fans were shocked when they lost their Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 35. Sasha was upset at WWE because she wanted to do a lot of things as champion, but WWE poured water on her dreams by handing the belts to Peyton Royce and Billie Kay.

Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer also addressed the issue in his newsletter and revealed that Sasha doesn’t want to work in WWE anymore and she is looking for a way out. It’s clear that Vince McMahon won’t let her leave as she is still one of the fan-favorites in WWE but who knows; maybe he will allow her to leave on her own terms.

#4 and 3 Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder

The Revival asked for their release in early January, but WWE rejected their request and asked for another three months to revive their career. Since both wrestlers were still under contract, they had no choice but to accept WWE’s offer. The first few weeks weren’t exciting for Dawson and Wilder as they saw no changes in their booking.

But then, WWE handed them the Raw Tag Team Championships which, for a moment, proved that they are still vital to them. However, since losing the titles to Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder, The Revival has become irrelevant.

Apparently, Vince is punishing them for asking for their release by booking them in embarrassing segments. It's sad to see a team that dominated in NXT becoming jobbers on Raw and most probably; they will leave when their contract expires. Will things ever change for The Revival now? Probably not, in WWE at least.

#2 Lio Rush

When WWE signed Lio Rush, fans had huge expectations from him. In NXT, Rush did a great job as a mid-carder, and then, he was promoted to the main roster. After spending some time in the 205 Live brand, WWE brought him on Raw as Bobby Lashley’s manager.

Rush did a great job in getting Lashley (and himself) some legit heat from the crowd, but then, things started getting worse. The locker room Superstars are upset at Rush for his actions, and it’s probably why he does not appear on television anymore.

Reports emerged that WWE wants to send him back to NXT, but Rush suggested them to release him instead. While we don’t know what will happen with Rush in WWE now but one thing is clear that The One isn’t happy with his position in Vince McMahon’s company. Rush believes he has the talent to become a major Superstar but does WWE thinks the same?

#1 Luke Harper

Luke Harper injured his wrist and missed many months of in-ring action. WWE doctors cleared him around February, but the company didn’t use him until WrestleMania. Reportedly, Vince was furious about Harper’s performance in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, and he decided not to book him on television.

The former Intercontinental Champion didn’t like that decision and asked for his release, which he publicly announced as well. WWE didn’t like this gesture, and they decided to increase Harper’s contract length until next year as they had frozen it due to Harper’s injury.

Despite still being under contract, Harper is not getting television time which indicates that Vince doesn’t want to book him in any way. If things didn’t change that Harper will likely stick to his decision and leave WWE when the time comes.
