No Way Jose/Sin Cara/Shelton Benjamin

Perhaps a new gimmick is in order for No Way Jose

It's been said in the past that Mr. McMahon loves himself a dancing wrestler gimmick.

We've had Adam Rose, Fandango and No Way Jose as just a few of the more recent examples.

Jose's act was okay for the smaller NXT stage, but once he's been on Raw, he hasn't had much success.

He's fine in the ring and has some obvious charisma, but for whatever reason, he just hasn't had much of an opportunity to shine in one form or fashion.

Dancing gimmicks never really translate to success, so perhaps he could salvage himself if allowed to change his gimmick.

If not, he might be cut or ask for his release.

Sin Cara has had some good moments in the ring but the gimmick was dead on arrival back when the original Mistico was under the mask.

A few unsafe moments during matches didn't help his cause either.

Not speaking doesn't help, but he'd be better suited for a promotion like Lucha Underground or Impact.

The Lucha House Party pretty much has a monopoly on all things lucha libre not named Rey Mysterio in WWE.

Shelton Benjamin returned to team with Chad Gable.

He looked bigger than ever, but we haven't seen much of him on SmackDown.

He had a few good matches, including one with Daniel Bryan, but other than that and failed tag team title pursuits, Benjamin has been nonexistent in WWE.

Perhaps he understood how he would be used, but he'd probably be getting more screen time and storylines if he went back to ROH or NJPW.
