As proved in 2016 by Cody Rhodes, WWE isn't the only place where wrestlers can become stars. With New Japan Pro Wrestling expanding into America, Ring Of Honor and NJPW having a show at Madison Square Garden and the launch of All Elite Wrestling the wrestling world is more exciting than ever.

While us fans are certainly happy about all of these things, this is great news for the wrestlers too. Wrestlers will have more negotiation power with whatever company they chose to sign with and will no doubt become unsettled if creative has no direction for them.

The company affected by this the most is WWE because of how many performers they have currently hired under their current four brands Raw, Smackdown, NXT, and NXT UK.

WWE can't give every single superstar a push but these 5, in particular, should have more going for them. If WWE chooses to do nothing creatively with these 5 superstars, They should pack their bags and leave.


#5 Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows

The Good Brother's

During their time in NJPW, these two were looked at as one of the best tag teams in the entire world. And they were. PWInsider recently reported that they have turned down big many deals from WWE in favour of maybe moving on.

This is music to the ears of fans as Anderson and Gallows are very rarely seen on WWE TV and quite obviously deserve better than what they are getting.

It's plausible that they could return to New Japan Pro Wrestling where they really made names for themselves or maybe join their old Bullet Club pals the Young Bucks in All Elite Wrestling. Wherever they choose to end up, let's just hope we can see the return of the amazing tag team we all knew and loved.

#4 Kassius Ohno

Does The Former Chris Hero Need To Leave?
Does The Former Chris Hero Need To Leave?

Since re-joining NXT in 2016, Kassius Ohno has done nothing more than have a few Takeover matches. That's it. For indie fans that knew him when he was Chris Hero, this is a big disappointment.

He has recently moved to the NXT UK roster, but with his physique, it is unlikely Vince will ever call him up to the main roster and if he does, he probably won't do very well. Leaving and returning to the indies, or possibly AEW would be the smartest career move for Kassius.


#3 Shinsuke Nakamura

The King Of Strong Style Deserves Better

You probably saw this one coming huh.

Since joining the main roster Shinsuke Nakamura has won the Royal Rumble, had a featured match at Wrestlemania and won the United States championship twice. But something is clearly missing.

Vince McMahon had the chance to put the WWE title on Shinsuke multiple times and chose against it despite him being a hugely over babyface and then a hugely over heel.

Had WWE pulled the trigger on Nakamura any time before June he would be doing fine now. But now it could be too late for him to be revitalized in WWE. A possible return home to NJPW would be fans preferred destination for Shinsuke, but only time will tell if he will choose to leave WWE.

#2 Andrade

The Kickoff Show, Really?
The Kickoff Show, Really?

Rey Mysterio vs Andrade is on the Fastlane Kickoff Show. The Kickoff. The sheer talent and potential that Andrade possesses should by itself get him a chance to shine in the main show spotlight.

During his time in NXT, Andrade impressed everyone with his incredible matches and his outstanding heel character. along with his manager Zelina Vega. He deserves so much better than he is getting at the moment so maybe a switch to AEW and a move back home to Mexico would help him reach his full, main event potential.


#1 Bray Wyatt

He's Here

I love Bray Wyatt. He has been one of my favourite superstars for years now. I was ecstatic when he won the WWE title at Elimination Chamber 2017. But then, he lost it to Randy Orton in a dreadful Mania match and then did nothing.

His character is hard to stick with for most fans so if WWE isn't going to change his character or give him a push, it might be time for Bray to try his luck elsewhere.
