5 Up, 5 Down: 5 WWE Superstars on their way out and 5 possible new signees for 2017

#4 UP: Jay Lethal

Lethal should have been in the WWE long before now

Why Jay Lethal isn't already competing in a WWE ring, is beyond me. Lethal is by far, one of the most talented non-WWE wrestlers in the entire world. The former Ring of Honor World Champion lost the title in August, to Adam Cole, after an impressive run of 427 days with the strap.

At one point, Lethal held both the ROH World Title, as well as the Ring of Honor television title, during the House of Truth angle.

Jay Lethal has excelled at every turn, throughout his 15-year career. One of the most memorable runs, for me at least, was during his time with TNA, where he was feuding with Ric Flair. Lethal was absolute money all throughout that particular storyline.

The way he was able to successfully emulate The Nature Boy, it was something magical and a treat to watch unfold. Jay would be a perfect fit on a roster where storytellers thrive, with the complacent ones ending up on the chopping block.
