10 Wrestlers who WWE should sign whenever their current contracts expire

Eli Drake

Eli Drake is technically a free agent but Impact might make it hard for him to sign elsewhere right away.

Back in the day, Drake was a part of FCW when it was in its earlier stages. A few years later, Drake left the WWE and FCW became NXT. Before the WWE fans were able to witness Drake's ability on the mic, he was out of the company but eventually returned in front of worldwide audiences as a member of Impact.

He debuted with the current Tanga Loa and the current Drew McIntyre as The Rising, a group that wanted to put the wrestling back in wrestling. It was very apparent that Drake was mostly with the group to make a name for himself, and once he broke from the group, he did exactly that.

Drake became one of the top stars in the company, winning every title and even the world title during a tumultuous time of transition in Impact. His ability to spin yarns on the mic was what truly set him apart from everyone else, whether he was running down an opponent or the fans.

Impact recently terminated his contract when he stated that he felt his character wasn't booked the best over the past year. He also refused to take a match against Tessa Blanchard. Impact was also allegedly worried that he had already been talking with All Elite Wrestling.

But whatever the case is, he's a hugely talented performer who should command looks from every major promotion. Depending on where he lands, he could likely slot into the main event somewhere like AEW but if WWE did sign him, they may not book him towards the top of the card initially. EC3 has been booked terribly and he was another former successful Impact star to sign with WWE.
