3 of the most under-utilized WWE stars today

As the top professional wrestling promotion, it's inevitable that WWE has a massive roster loaded with immense talent. Although, We get at least seven hours of WWE programming weekly (excluding pay-per-views and WWE Network specials), WWE is unable to give a majority of their talented stars something worthwhile to do on television.

Moreover, given that WWE has ended the twice-a-month brand-exclusive pay-per-views, many talents in the mid-card and tag-team division are unable to make it to the monthly pay-per-view. This leaves a bitter taste in the mouth of hardcore fans who support hardworking, full-time talents.

Having said that, let's look at 3 of the most under-utilized stars in WWE today.

#3. The Revival

The Revival

It's a shame that The Revival is on this list. The Revival's wrestling style brings back memories of The Road Warriors, The Hart Foundation and Demolition. These two are the most technically gifted tag-team the WWE Universe has seen in recent memory.

Although, 'The Top Guys' had quite the run in NXT when they dominated the tag-team division there for nearly two years, putting on innumerable classics with the likes of American Alpha and Authors of Pain. Their main roster run has been abysmal, to say the least. Whenever it looked as if the duo started gaining some momentum, their push came to a halt, owing to injuries and lack of direction.

These two lost back-to-back tag-matches to the comedic duo of Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel. The last time we saw them on television, they were being ruthlessly beaten down by Drew Mcintyre and Dolph Ziggler.

#2. Shelton Benjamin

Where is he?

Shelton Benjamin is able to perform at an elite level, irrespective of his age. Benjamin returned to SmackDown last year in August after a shoulder injury halted his initial much-hyped return. After a mildly successful tag-team run with Chad Gable from August to April, Benjamin has seldom appeared on television.

Benjamin is capable of reaching incredible heights, he had considerable success in his first run with WWE, becoming a multi-time US Champion. Benjamin was the highlight reel of the first few Money in the bank matches and his crazy stunts were amazing to watch.

The last time Benjamin competed on SmackDown was in a losing effort to Jeff Hardy on the go-home show before SummerSlam.

#1.Finn Balor

Remember Balor's Universal title

The less said about Finn Balor's current position on the main roster, the better it is for Balor's hardcore fans. Balor is the most under-utilized star in WWE today and has fallen way down the pecking order. His career is on the verge of decline and the Irishman is in dire need of a stroke of luck, perhaps a heel turn or a switch-over to SmackDown Live could change his fortunes a bit.

Balor has been jobbing out to the likes of Baron Corbin, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman lately. Every time it looks like he's receiving a push, WWE's 50-50 booking comes into effect. At this year's SummerSlam, Balor returned as 'The Demon' for the first time in nearly a year to quickly vanquish Baron Corbin. Balor then ended up losing clean to Roman Reigns next night.

Finn Balor should be in the running for a Universal title shot, instead he's involved in stop-start feuds with Baron Corbin and Elias.
