The bright lights of the WWE aren't for everyone. While some reach the pinnacle of the business in the biggest wrestling promotion in the world, others are simply left behind. These Superstars are overlooked and poorly booked that slowly even the fans start losing interest in their character and they become an afterthought.
This doesn't necessarily mean that these Superstars aren't talented, in fact, some of them are perhaps more talented than the company's top dogs but Vince McMahon & Co. have never tried putting their money on these Superstars.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.
But we are of opinion that once these Superstars leave the WWE, they will be lapped up by other wrestling promotions who wouldn't miss a chance to acquire the services of these Superstars and we are cent percent sure that they will prove to be a huge assets to these promotions, if they decide to part ways with the WWE. These Superstars will be doing themselves, their careers and the fans a huge favor by moving out of the WWE as their future in the company doesn't seem to be very promising.
So without any further ado, here are 5 WWE Superstar who would be lapped up by independent promotions if they decide to leave the WWE :
#5 Cesaro
Cesaro is one of the most underrated superstars on the WWE's main roster. Despite being one of the best in-ring performers in the company, the Swiss Cyborg has been overlooked by the WWE management who fail to recognize the gem of a talent that he is.
After being the staple of Indy circuit for almost a decade winning championship all around the globe, one hoped that the man formerly known as Claudio Castagnoli would be slotted as a main event talent once he jumped to the WWE. But sadly, that has happened at all and Cesaro has been a mid-carder at best and has been under pushed during his almost 8-year run in the company. His tag team with Sheamus seems to have run its course and the duo is not expected to win some gold anytime soon.
If the Swiss Superstar decides to part ways with the WWE, it will be huge news for promotions all around the world who would make a beeline to sign him. Given how incredibly skilled and talented the man is, moving away from the WWE is the best Carrer decision for him at this point in time as his WWE future doesn't seem very bright.
#4 Finn Balor
The career trajectory of Finn Balor has been on the downside ever since the Irishman relinquished the Universal Championship just 24 hours after being its inaugural holder. After having a brilliant run as the NXT Champion, the leader of the Balor Club was drafted to RAW in the 2016 Brand Extension Draft and was immediately pushed to the top.
But an injury suffered at the hands of Seth Rollins ended that push and Balor was forced to relinquish the Universal Championship on RAW after SummerSlam 2016. Balor returned to action at the RAW after WrestleMania 33 but sadly hasn't been able to grab the brass ring. In spite of being one of the most consistent performers in the red brand, Balor has been put in one ridiculous feud after another which has severely hampered his chances of becoming a world champion in the company.
The ongoing civil between the Bullet Club is the perfect place for Fergal Devitt to re-debut in New Japan Pro Wrestling. The founding leader of the stable has been overlooked for far too long in the WWE and NJPW will be more than happy to acquire the services of the Irishman as they look to the biggest competitor to the WWE. Balor can also win the only major title that has eluded so far in his Carrer, the IWGP Heavyweight Championship if he decides to part ways with the WWE.
#3 Gallows and Anderson
Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson debuted on the main roster by attacking the Dudley Boyz after the latter had just announced their WWE retirement. While they made a strong first impression, the former IWGP Tag Team Champions had to wait a while before capturing the Tag team Titles on Monday Nights.
Their reign, however, was short-lived as the good brothers would lose the titles to the Hardy Boyz at WrestleMania 33 and things haven't looked up for the duo ever since. In spite of being one of the most-talked teams prior to signing with the WWE, Gallows, and Anderson haven't been able to establish dominance over the tag team division and have relegated to having 5-minute matches on WWE TV.
The Good Brothers would be lapped up Indy promotions all over the world and with the pedigree that they possess as a team, the duo will be a valuable asset to any promotion. A return to New Japan is something which fans would like to see and the Good Brothers would be better off before financially and professional, if they do decide to return to the land of rising sun.
#2 Bobby Roode
One of the best heel champions in NXT History, Bobby Roode's main roster has been a massive trainwreck. To being with, the Glorious one was presented as a Babyface on his arrival on the main roster when the man is more suited to being a heel. He was then put in a mid-card feud with Dolph Ziggler, which did nothing for either of them. Roode did manage to Capture the United States Championship, but the reign wasn't as glorious as one would've have hoped.
Things have only got worse for Roode ever since he was drafted to RAW in this year's Superstar Shakeup. He has reduced to lower- mid-card against the likes of Mojo Rawley and Elias when he should've been built as a top star on the red card. With his current status on the card, the Canadian Veteran being a world champion in the WWE is quite far-fetched at this moment.
With over two decades of experience in the business and numerous titles to his name, the search for a new home for Bobby Roode won't be a difficult task as any promotion would die to have someone of his stature in their ranks. Roode isn't expected to make waves in the WWE, at least not the way he is currently booked. It is therefore imperative that the Glorious one leaves the WWE for newer pastures.
#1 The Revival
The Revival are of the best tag teams on the planet today. Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder epitomize tag team wrestling and are one of the cornerstones of the recent resurgence of tag team wrestling. One of the best tag teams in NXT history, the Revival were stung with injuries upon their arrival on the main roster.
First, it was Dash Wilder who got injured just weeks after the duo debuted on RAW and then Scott Dawson suffered a fractured jaw, which meant that the duo wasn't seen on WWE TV for almost a year after debuted on RAW after WrestleMania 33.
But just when one thought that the Revival was finally getting pushed as the team to beat on Monday Nights, they have reduced to being just another tag team on the red team. They have been made to job to a comedy team like the B team and were attacked by Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre prior to their tag team title match against the B-team, which indicates that the WWE management has little to no faith on the Revival.
The Revival will be one of the hottest free agents on the market if they decide to put behind the misery of the main roster run and bid adieu to the WWE. With their body of work over the past few years, there will be a beeline of promotions wanting to sign this talented duo who like to refer to themselves as the Top Guys.
