10 Wrestlers Who Could Leave WWE After WrestleMania 34

4. Zack Ryder

Both members of The Edgeheads could be out of WWE post-WrestleMania? Say it ain't so.

In all seriousness, WWE have botched Zack Ryder's career time and time again. The latest gaff came by using him as a sacrificial lamb for former tag partner Mojo Rawley, then proceeding to do absolutely nothing with either man. Splitting the Hype Bros without a push in mind for Rawley was a mistake, and it again made Zack look like a fool.

This is a cycle Ryder has found it tough to break since forcing his way into company plans at the turn of the decade. Despite getting himself into the best shape of his life and rehabbing through serious injuries, he remains a peripheral figure on SmackDown. That will never change, not now.

Perhaps Zack will get sick of being overlooked and elect to try his luck elsewhere. He's a self-confessed wrestling mega-fan, so Japan may be appealing. Failing that, he'd kill it with merch sales on the independent scene.
