At the moment, WWE has been doing great, but it has some superstars who are currently not in the best shape of their lives. Some bookings have disappointed people, while others are working on the undercard for various reasons.
The contracts of several wrestlers will reportedly end this year. Even if Triple H prefers giving improved offers to those whose contracts would expire, some could also choose other opportunities.
Here are four names who could be leaving WWE in 2024:

#4. Sheamus could be leaving WWE due to frustration with his booking
Following his return from injury, Sheamus has been receiving considerable exposure on screen. However, since his contract reportedly ends later this year, he might be thinking about looking for other opportunities elsewhere.
He might choose to walk away from WWE due to frustration with his booking. In an interview, he shared his thoughts on the way Roman Reigns is being pushed and how it seems like he's getting more opportunities than other talents. This came after that SmackDown episode where the Roman Reigns and The Bloodline segment went on for too long, bumping another segment off the schedule.
The Celtic Warrior is famous for delivering five-star matches, winning over fans who love his incredible performances. If he wants to compete at the top, moving to another promotion might be the smartest move for him.
#3. Brock Lesnar could be let go after 12 years since returning in 2012
The Beast Incarnate hasn't been seen since SummerSlam 2023, where he faced Cody Rhodes in a losing effort.
Brock Lesnar's return to the ring appears unlikely, as his reputation currently faces some challenges. WWE is likely to exercise caution and refrain from taking risks with him, especially given their current stable situation. Triple H might even think about letting him go if his presence starts causing a bad reputation for the company.
Lesnar has frequently exhibited erratic behavior behind the scenes, but he has always been drawing huge money for the company. It'll be interesting to see if WWE decides to let him go or if The Beast Incarnate sticks around with the Stamford-based promotion until the day he retires.
#2. Apollo Crews is getting nowhere
The creative team has struggled to make the most of Apollo Crews. He hit his stride as a heel, but then got stuck with some lackluster storylines during his time at the top and hasn’t been able to reach that level again.
Crews could thrive in other promotions, and they would be interested in acquiring his services. The decision regarding whether he will seek to challenge himself further or prefer to stay in a familiar environment remains to be seen.
#1. Bobby Lashley could be leaving soon
According to reports, the former WWE Champion's contract is nearing expiration. There's been a ton of buzz about what the 48-year-old might do next. His tenure under the leadership of Triple H has not been particularly thrilling, which may account for the possibility of his departure from the Stamford-based promotion.
It remains to be seen if the former WWE Champion decides to stick around or head over to another promotion. Let's wait and watch.
