#7 The Brian Kendrick
Kendrick’s entire return was centred on one story: becoming the WWE Cruiserweight Champion and redeeming himself following his departure several years ago. He accomplished this feat when he defeated TJ Perkins in October 20016.
Since then, Kendrick has – along with the rest of the cruiserweight division – floundered without much of a storyline direction. His last feud of note was a brief one with Akira Tozawa, which led to Tozawa winning. At 37 years of age, Kendrick is one of the oldest wrestlers in the cruiserweight division.

With that division having its style toned down from what was seen during the Cruiserweight Classic, Kendrick’s matches are nowhere near as exciting as what was witnessed during that tournament. As a result, fans have lost considerable interest in Kendrick, which has led to him having very little air-time on RAW.
With there being so many younger wrestlers that WWE would want to showcase on 205 Live, it’s possible Kendrick could either transition back to a non-wrestling role in WWE or leave the company altogether by year’s end.
