Top 10 underrated WWE superstars that were probably released too early

#9 Low Ki

One of the most beloved performers of the independent scene, many were genuinely excited for Low Ki when he got signed by WWE. Unbelievably, WWE insisted he started out on NXT (game show version) which was weird and stalled his momentum.

Although he won the competition, his character ‘Kaval’ was completely forgotten about around 3 months after he debuted on Smackdown. The man never got the push or even the chance to properly display his talent as his stiff style was cut down on by the WWE.

It is believed, perhaps rightly, that Low Ki would be much more successful in WWE today as the company has changed its thought process, pushing workhorses like Daniel Bryan and signing talents from the outside - Samoa Joe, Austin Aries and AJ Styles, for example.

He got the most underrated wrestler award from Dave Meltzer at the Wrestling Observer Newsletter in 2010 and his exploits as a 3 time IWGP Jr. Heavyweight champion and a 4 time X-division champion showed his value as a solid roster member. He also made the world of wrestling look real with his stiff kicks being amongst the best in the world.
