10 Wrestlers Who Could Leave WWE After WrestleMania 34

8. Curt Hawkins

Curt Hawkins may well be in the same boat as R-Truth, if only because he has approximately zero chance of being used as a serious wrestler in 2018.

Think about it: Curt's current character revolves around the fact he loses each and every one of his matches. Hawkins is to 2018 what The Brooklyn Brawler was to the '90s, and that's not a favourable comparison. In fairness, and unlike Steve Lombardi, Hawkins has shown he could be more useful if WWE would let him.

They're not going to, and therein lies the problem. For Hawkins, switching brands or nailing it on the microphone wouldn't matter. He's used as enhancement talent because that's how those in the power positions view him.

Should WWE have a talent clear out post-WrestleMania 34, you can expect the name Curt Hawkins to be near the top of that list. The amalgamation of Raw/SmackDown talent on pay-per-view means he'll get even fewer opportunities.
