8 of the most underutilised superstars in the WWE right now
A lot has happened in the WWE recently. From a quite shocking revelation of Roman Reigns' battle with leukemia, to holding one of the most controversial pay-per-views in the company's history, Crown Jewel. The landscape of the company has completely changed from what it was a few months back.
But this has not changed the fact that many deserving superstars on the roster are underutilised, and are without a clear direction at the moment.
You'd expect the lower tiers of WWE's talent to be nothing more than jobbers and fillers, but the superstars down there are actually top-notch. You wouldn't know it though, because WWE treats them all as if they really are nothing more than just jobbers and fillers, while there are a few who get all the TV time at the top, in spite of negative crowd reaction.
WWE has recently started giving some underappreciated Superstars like Dolph Ziggler and Apollo Crews more time to connect with the WWE Universe, but the size of the Raw and SmackDown rosters means there will always be a few who struggle for inclusion.
Here we look at 9 of the most underutilised superstars on the WWE roster who have one thing in common - they all have had success in WWE's development division, NXT.
#8 Apollo Crews
Apollo Crews is a rare combination of speed, athleticism, and raw power. He had a brief but great stint in the NXT before his arrival on the main roster. He was expected to be a big star, and won several big matches in his debut on Monday Night Raw.
Apollo got few opportunities then and there for the Intercontinental, and the Tag team championships, but there was no intention of making him champ.
Things went downhill, and he was part of a faction called Titus Worldwide, but couldn't capitalise on their early success. Recently the group broke up, and Crews started on a course to be a singles star.
He has all the trappings of a future big money draw with his power and agility inside the ring. Maybe this could be the start of a much needed push.
