3 WWE superstars who should leave for AEW

The atmosphere in the Titan Towers has been one of chaos, ever since AEW announced their very first show, set to broadcast in May 2019.
The wrestling corporation hasn't even produced a single episode yet, but has made enough waves on social media to leave Vince McMahon in a state of worry. The company is reportedly backed by a billionaire and is signing some of the most sought after stars in the wrestling world at the moment.
Chris Jericho has already joined the bandwagon, along with Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega. On the other side, multiple superstars have requested their release from the WWE, most notably Dean Ambrose, Mike and Maria Kanellis, The Revival and Tye Dillinger.
Let's take a look at three WWE employees that could leave the company and try their luck at the brand new wrestling giant known as AEW.
#3 Shinsuke Nakamura
Last year, Nakamura was the talk of the town during WrestleMania season. He won the Royal Rumble match and battled AJ Styles on the grandest stage of them all. This was a highly anticipated rematch from NJPW's Wrestle Kingdom PPV, but failed to surpass that match by a long shot.
Nakamura lost, and hit AJ with a low blow after the match and turned heel. Things were looking promising for Nakamura post WrestleMania, but it was all for naught! He lost to AJ on multiple occasions after Mania, finally giving up and going back to the mid card. Since then, the King of the Strong Style has been reduced to a mid card jobber.
Shinsuke Nakamura has made a name for himself, wrestling all around the world in various promotions and finally landing the prestigious WWE contract. Unfortunately, WWE failed to capitalise on his global popularity and things seem to be getting worse with each passing day.
Maybe it's time for Nakamura to realise the bitter truth, and make a decision. AEW would be elated to sign him up with a fat contract, and even though no one knows how he would be handled there, it would certainly be better than the state he is in at the moment.
