WWE Releases: 5 Superstars who could be on their way out

#3 Bo Dallas

Bo Dallas

The son of former WWE World tag team champion and WCW World Television champion Mike Rotunda was quite popular on the NXT brand. The yellow brand's emphasis on in ring action and more traditional wrestling gimmicks helped him tremendously.

However, when he was elevated to the main roster, he was re packaged as an inspirational speaker and all of his momentum died. When you brand a wrestler into a comedy act, it's usually the death knell of their career - just ask Terry "Red Rooster" Taylor. Since leaving behind the inspirational speaker gimmick, he hasn't done much, though the B Team was a moderate success.

Why he might be released soon: Bo Dallas doesn't have the 'look' that Vince McMahon craves for his wrestlers, and his long tenure likely translates to a higher salary that the WWE would rather spend on a superstar they believe to be more 'marketable.'

What he might do upon his release if it comes: Bo Dallas is quite a skilled in ring performer, but seems undersized. We can think of three guys who all fit that bill and have just started their own wrestling company...
