WWE Friday Night SmackDown has seen a lot of roster turnover to kickstart 2026 with NXT talent debuting and established stars making their return.
Looking at the current roster, there could be some talent that leave the show in the coming weeks to make room for incoming stars.
WWE could shake things up even more on the blue brand by having some names leaving in the near future.
Here are seven WWE SmackDown stars to potentially leave the show.
7. Tommaso Ciampa

On January 21, Tommaso Ciampa officially announced that he will be departing WWE at the end of his contract, which is set to expire soon.
The former two-time WWE Tag Team Champion has been a mainstay on the SmackDown brand as part of DIY alongside Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae.
Seemingly more motivated than ever, Ciampa is looking to continue his career for the next 10 years.
This is the most obvious upcoming departure from the SmackDown brand with Ciampa still listed on the roster page at the time of this writing.
