Unpopular Opinion: 5 WWE Superstars that need to leave the company for their own good

Despite all the developments in the wrestling industry over the past few years, the WWE remains at the top of the pack, and they will for quite some time, but with a roster so deep and talented, it's inevitable that they misuse some of those stars, and it's understandable if some of those people would want to move on from the company.

We've seen people like Pac, Tenille Dashwood, and Cody walk away from the WWE and maintain success, and while there have been others that definitely failed away from the company, with the state of the wrestling business, there is more chance of success now more than ever.

So without further ado, read along as we analyze the current landscape within the WWE, and look at 5 performers who should walk away from the company in the very near future, for their own good.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#5 Rusev

The WWE, despite years of making mistakes, are still yet to correct some of them, and the stereotype of the foreign heel is something that falls into that category, and it's definitely hurt Rusev.

He debuted as a physically imposing star (something that suits the super athlete quite well), but as soon as his undefeated streak came to an end, he followed the unfortunate patter: winning streak snapped, losing streak, comedy face, enhancement talent.

Unlike others, however, Rusev managed to get even hotter as a babyface, and while the company pushed it for a while, it's clear that they have absolutely no intentions of capitalizing on Rusev Day and all his charisma.

He and his wife Lana have recently set up a YouTube channel, and with his charisma and talent and her acting abilities, they have more than enough chance of success outside of the WWE, and it's about time they bet on themselves.

#4 Sanity

Down in NXT, the quartet of Eric Young, Nikki Cross, Killian Dain, and Alexander Woolfe, collectively known as, Sanity, were a revelation, and with their unique style and success, many people saw them as bound for success on the main roster.

Not only have they not achieved any of that success, but they've barely been featured on TV over the past 6 months, and while that can change, we aren't holding our breath.

On their own, none of the three men would likely be overly successful in the WWE, but trying to introduce the WWE to chaos is a fantastic, unique idea, and we have absolutely no idea why the company won't get behind them.

A few of the members of the group have expressed frustration on social media, and while leaving as a group is rare, that's the best thing for them to do, because they have serious potential that the WWE are clearly ignoring.

#3 Gallows and Anderson

Gallows and Anderson came to the WWE a few months after AJ Styles made his debut at the Royal Rumble, and considering the success that AJ went on to have, it's very sad to see just how far G&A have fallen.

Before this, the Good Brothers were seen as arguably the best heavyweight tag team in the entire world, and as a singles competitor, Anderson was reaching the final of the G1 Climax, and after some success early on, they've seemingly fallen off the face of the earth.

Their style of humor and in-ring work may not be suited to the WWE, but they are still skilled performers, and given how little value the WWE place on tag team wrestling, you think they'd value these two as a team that can carry a division.

Simply put, creative ruined any momentum these two have had and given that New Japan is thriving and their former friends have made a new company, they need to desperately seek greener pastures in the near future.

#2 Asuka

Asuka came to the WWE with plenty of hype behind her, and her NXT run was historic as she reigned undefeated for over 600 days, including a 510-day reign as NXT Women's Champion.

The Empress of Tomorrow was then promoted to the main roster, and while she was booked well, to begin with, it's becoming increasingly clear over the past few months that the WWE has absolutely no idea what to do with the Japanese sensation.

Heading into WrestleMania, Asuka was dethroned by Charlotte so that the SmackDown Women's Championship could be used in the main event, and it made quite a few people in the WWE Universe angry.

Asuka has so much talent and carries an aura with her, despite the terrible booking she's experienced over the past year, and with companies all across the world growing, someone with her name and talent would be much better away from the WWE.

#1 EC3

When he left WWE the first time, Derrick Bateman went on to TNA/Impact and completely turned his career around, and when he returned to the WWE, it looked like he was meant for the main event.

His NXT run was very brief and marred by injury, but with his look, his charisma, and his relative in-ring skills, he was rushed to the main roster, but that was where the good times stopped for the third of the Carter name.

Recently, he's been overshadowed by newer NXT names like Ricochet and Aleister Black, and with so much talent around him, it's clear that the WWE isn't very high on him anymore.

On the latest episode of RAW, Carter was demolished by Braun Strowman, and despite re-igniting his relationship with Drake Maverick at a recent live show, he's probably never going to succeed in the WWE, but with AEW, ROH, and other big companies doing great work, he can still be a big-time star.
