We are mere weeks away from the biggest show of the year, WrestleMania 35, and there is definitely Mania-fever in the air.

We already have two huge matches confirmed for the show of shows, with Seth Rollins taking on Universal Champion Brock Lesnar for the title, as well as The Man Becky Lynch hoping to become the Champ, when she takes on RAW's 'Rowdy' Ronda Rousey.

But with WrestleMania approaching, so are the seasonal roster cull, with many Superstars expected to be future endeavored soon.

There are some, however, who may choose to leave the company for a multitude of reasons, from feeling that they've done everything they needed to, to hoping for better prospects in another company.

Here are five WWE Superstars who may leave the WWE after WrestleMania 35, and why they'd walk away from the world's biggest promotion.

#5 Shinsuke Nakamura

Whilst he is a two-time United States Champion, Nakamura has struggled on the main roster.

The newly-crowned United States Champion may have gotten a huge win on the Royal Rumble pre-show, but there's no denying that many fans aren't happy with his position.

Debuting in NXT in 2016, Nakamura was one of the developmental brand's biggest stars, and started strong when he joined SmackDown Live a year later, winning the 2018 Men's Royal Rumble.

Since then though, Nakamura has plummeted down the card, with his first US Title reign doing little to elevate the King of Strong Style.

It seems that Nakamura has hit his glass ceiling in WWE, and with New Japan Pro Wrestling getting bigger every year (even having next year's Wrestle Kingdom event over a two day period) it seems that the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion could return after WrestleMania.
