Top 5 Other WWE Superstars That Are On The Brink Of A Release Like Enzo - Part 2
5 DANIEL BRYAN: Daniel Bryan’s future remains one of the biggest questions in wrestling. The WWE contract of Bryan will expire in September of 2018 and he wants to wrestle again. Bryan is adamant that he will not settle for a General Manager role.
Despite having success as a character, Bryan’s real passion is in the ring and he refuses to give it up since his doctors say he is healthy enough to compete. WWE’s doctors disagree, and that stance is highly unlikely to change any time soon. Bryan wants to wrestle for WWE, but he has stated he will leave if they don’t allow him to have matches.
The best bet here is that Bryan and WWE will part ways as they let him make his own decisions once the contract ends.
4 ZACK RYDER: Zack Ryder has been a fixture on WWE roster for the past decade. A few short stints of popularity have seen Ryder able to get fans on his side. The best success story of Ryder’s career was the online web-show he created to get fans to cheer for him every week. WWE pulled the rug from under him by burying the beloved character after a short run with relevance.
Another big win came when he won the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 32 before dropping it the next night. Basically, the story of Ryder’s career is that WWE doesn’t believe in him.
It has been proven again as Ryder was only used to put over Mojo Rawley in 2018. Ryder has nothing going on and is likely going to be left in the past as WWE tries to free up roster space soon.
3 TAMINA: The women’s division is thriving with so many ladies vying for spots on Raw and SmackDown. There are usually two storylines on each show for the women meaning only a few of them will have spots on the television show.
Tamina is struggling to find a role as she doesn’t have much going for her unless all the women are in a match. The talent of Tamina just doesn’t measure up to most of the other ladies in WWE.
It is becoming more difficult for WWE to justify putting her on television with almost every woman providing stronger interest. Tamina is one of the ladies that should worry about her spot with NXT call-ups ready for the main roster. Don’t be surprised if she is one of the first WWE stars fired after WrestleMania season.
2 PRIMO AND EPICO: Most fans have forgotten that Primo and Epico are even on the main roster today. It’s hard to blame them considering the tag team is doing absolutely nothing on SmackDown.
Unless there is a backstage segment or a lumberjack match, Primo and Epico are hard to spot on television. WWE has seemed to give up on them after injuries ended their last push.
The tag team act moved to SmackDown in the Superstar Shakeup and appeared ready to have a push as a heel duo. WWE took them off television and we have not seen them in months.
Primo and Epico have had multiple gimmick changes through the years in the tag team division. Nothing works as fans continue to treat them with apathy. This may be an instance where a couple of wrestlers could benefit from leaving WWE.
1 DANA BROOKE: Dana Brooke has joined the group of misfits in Titus Brand. The trio of Titus O’Neil, Apollo Crews and Brooke are all hoping to find success together as a group.
All three have struggled with different weaknesses holding them back. Brooke does appear to be more entertaining in this role as the statistician of the group rather than a basic wrestler with no character progression.
Sadly, the Titus Brand will not have a long-term future given the lack of importance they are being treated with. Once it ends, all three wrestlers involved will struggle to find a new role.
Dana may be in the most trouble. The argument can be made Brooke is the least relevant woman on the WWE roster. A need for new stars being called up could see her getting cut.
