10 Wrestlers Who Should (Or Could) Leave WWE In 2018

1. Brock Lesnar

Per rumours of his most recent WWE agreement, Brock Lesnar will trouser half a million dollars every time he does that jaunty little two-step entrance on pay-per-view. And that's before the extras he's entitled to for turning the a*se-cheeks of his fight-shorts into a billboard for a butty shop.

It's 'The Beast's most lucrative stint yet, but represents probably the least appealing deal since Vince McMahon re-opened his arms to the former UFC Champion back in 2012.

Brock's recent Universal Title reign has been more tenuous than tantalising - mouth-watering matches with AJ Styles and Samoa Joe were offset by disastrous disputes with Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns. Yet, despite this indifferent record, he's one of the few immune to the company's toxic 50/50 booking. Once 'The Next Big Thing', Brock's mere existence on the show creates more problems than it solves.
