Usually not long after Wrestlemania, the WWE begins to thin out their roster. Up until a few years ago, it was always the main roster that saw the majority of the cuts. Nowadays with NXT in the mix of things it is a combination of both. We'll focus on the main roster for this, but who should possibly be a bit worried? It is rumored, and a bit apparent, that WWE is looking to put more focus on the United States and Intercontinental Championships. And there is a small resurgence within the tag team division. Add the fact that Seth Rollins is now WWE World Heavyweight Champion, so the main title will be in the mix of things. This is all great. However, you need talent to do this.
But, business is business. Although most of the cuts will likely come from NXT, as there has been less invested in them so far so to speak. This list will focus on those from the main roster who may want to worry about their job security with WWE. Some are simply under utilized, rarely seen, at the end of their in-ring career, etc, etc. And they are...
A Diva would usually be added to the list, however, AJ Lee has just recently retired from WWE. Whether or not the remains she is finished with wrestling remains to be scene. Likely though given the playing field. Of course, none of the performers deserve to be let go, it is just how things are going or how they are, or haven't been used. This is why there needs to be not a competing second company, but how WWE and WCW coexisted during say the 80's and early 90's. Guess we'll see how, when, or if this all plays out.

Heath Slater
With Titus O'Neil reforming Prime Time Players with Darren Young, the One Man Rock Band's career doesn't look too good. Unless WWE comes up with a new plan quick, Slater may be playing his tune elsewhere.
Zack Ryder
His popularity with the IWC is possibly what has kept Ryder around for this long. Under utilization would be to blame here. Here's hoping he forms a tag team with someone, and keeps around within the tag division. Or somehow rises in the ranks with the mid-card titles.
Goldust
Goldie has shown that he can still go, but after the partnership with Cody, sorry, Stardust ended. Where else is there for the Bizarre One to go? Behind the scenes of course. Like his father, the talent doesn't simply lay with an in-ring career.
The New Day
Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and Big E. All three of them. Unless this was all a plan, and there is an upcoming heel turn, New Day sucks (as the crowds are now saying). Even if this wasn't a plan, a new direction needs to happen soon.
R-Truth
Truth is entertaining no matter what direction he takes his character. But, like many he is mainly under utilized. Perhaps after all these years of being a showman, a heel turn and being the front man of a heel New Day could save Truth (and as stated previously, New Day as well).
Adam Rose
There didn't seem to be a plan for this character if and when, which it basically has, the party ended. If you count a short feud (if you can call it that) with The Bunny, he hasn't done much. Time to restart the party, or change the direction. Overly used, but possibly a legit heel turn?
Christian
He's currently resting and heeling up, but how much longer will WWE keep Captain Charisma around? At least as an in-ring performer, there must be a behind the scenes position for Christian if he chooses that route.A Diva would usually be added to the list, however, AJ Lee has just recently retired from WWE.
