10 Wrestlers Who Could Leave WWE After WrestleMania 34

5. Mickie James

Following a run as the resident energetic, fun-loving babyface veteran, Mickie James is once again playing sidekick to Alexa Bliss. This is a step backwards for James, but it's true that she's well-suited to the role; not only does it mean she's on TV every week, it paints Bliss as a manipulative genius.

Beyond the (surely brief) rekindling of that alliance with Alexa, James doesn't have an obvious plan for the rest of 2018. Though she has somehow been able to juggle being a mother with the hectic WWE schedule, it may be time to give her a rest.

As cruel as it sounds, there are others in the female ranks who deserve the opportunity to be on Raw every week more than Mickie.

We can see her sailing off into the sunset by the summer, possibly with a return date in mind for a Hall of Fame induction or a role behind the scenes. It's not that Mickie looks bad, it's just that her options are limited when it comes to what storylines or feuds she could work after WrestleMania.
