5 of the best wrestlers who have never appeared on RAW or Smackdown

3. Naito

Naito brings explosiveness, stiff striking, and -- most importantly -- attitude to every match he competes in. His bad boy demeanor and fantastic work rate have turned him into an internet darling and one of the biggest stars on the New Japan roster.

Why he hasn't appeared on WWE television: First and foremost, Naito is happy working in his home country for New Japan, where he is treated well and has enjoyed a recent push and a feud with international star Chris Jericho. Also, currently none of WWE's Asian talent pool has any titles, which may make the company look like infertile ground for Naito to uproot and replant his career.
