4 Former World Champions WWE shouldn't mind losing to rival Promotions

With the rise of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), WWE has become cautious about holding on to their talents. However, due to the high number of options available outside WWE, Superstars are more than willing to walk out of the company. While most of these talents are less accomplished in WWE, there are few Superstars who once held one of the two World Championships at one point in their career.

In the past few months, there have been several reports of Superstars asking for their release. While some of them may have been granted, most of them haven't been yet. However, WWE's bigger concern right now are the big names who might consider leaving the company. AJ Styles for one hasn't signed a new contract as of yet. However, unlike Styles, there are few former world champions WWE can afford to lose.

#4 Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt hasn't been seen on the television ever since his team with Matt Hardy disbanded in July 2018.

Considering how Bray Wyatt has been booked in the past year, it is actually surprising that Wyatt was the WWE Champion heading into Wrestlemania 33. The former World Champion has had a tough time ever since being drafted back to Raw in 2017. Bray Wyatt was in fact last seen on television almost 7 months ago. It is unclear as to why Bray Wyatt is not being used on TV although he has made few appearances in the in-house shows lately.

However, Bray Wyatt's career in WWE seems to be going nowhere. Despite possessing excellent mic skills and having the ability to maintain a strong gimmick, the Eater of the Worlds has been rarely booked as a serious singles competitor. At this point, even the fans do not take Bray Wyatt as seriously as they once used to. Letting go of the New Face of Fear will probably be the best thing for both the parties.

#3 Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler has often expressed his frustration over his current status with the company.

Dolph Ziggler has been a workhorse his entire career. His work ethics and consistent performance in the ring have often compelled people to compare him the Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels. However, unlike Michaels, Dolph Ziggler hasn't seen himself as the face of the company.

Despite his impressing in ring-abilities, The ShowOff has struggled with other aspects of professional wrestling. His mic skills leave a lot to be desired and his outspoken nature on social media hasn't helped him much. Clearly, at this point, Dolph Ziggler probably won't be winning the World Championship again in his career. There was a time when Ziggler was over with the fans, but it seems like eternity since we have seen fans being red hot for him.

Thus, considering how there isn't much WWE could do with the veteran, giving him the opportunity to join other promotions won't be very harmful.

#2 Dean Ambrose

WWE recently confirmed that Dean Ambrose won't be signing with the company once his contract expires in April 2019.

Dean Ambrose's current status with the company has drawn varied reactions from fans and pundits. After rumors of Dean Ambrose leaving the company started floating around, WWE shockingly confirmed the same. This was one of those rare instances where WWE announced the news of a Superstar leaving without it being officially done. Hence, there have been various claims as to why this might be a work.

Even if the Lunatic's Fringe departure is legitimate, WWE might have a solid reason for letting him go. Ambrose neither has the size of Roman Reigns nor the technical prowess of Seth Rollins. Unlike the other two, Ambrose has struggled to deliver in the ring on a consistent basis. His mic skills are indeed what sets him apart from others but he isn't exactly as good as Roddy Piper or Stone Cold Steve Austin. Ambrose brings very little to the table and thus, is on his way out as it seems.

#1 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar's contract is rumored to expire soon after Wrestlemania 35.

Brock Lesnar has been one of the most controversial Superstars in WWE in the past few years. His elite status in the company isn't pleasing for both the fans and fellow wrestlers in the locker room. All things must come to an end and many feel the same should be said for Lesnar's time in the WWE, as of now.

The Beast Incarnate's contract with WWE is rumored to expire soon after Wrestlemania 35, and WWE shouldn't bother renewing it again. Brock Lesnar is an expensive commodity, and at a time when Superstars have options outside WWE, keeping him for too long will not set a good example. Lesnar can still be useful for the company, but right now he is too expensive to afford. The Conqueror's departure could actually do wonders for WWE, as it will give more opportunities to other superstars at the top of the card.
