3 WWE Superstars who have lost their spot to part-timers

In the past few years, there has been a major influx of part-timers, who's presence in WWE have given the fans a much-needed boost of nostalgia.

This recent wave arguably started in 2012, with the return of Brock Lesnar, with blasts from the past including Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Kurt Angle and the Dudley Boyz all making sporadic returns.

It makes sense from a business point of things. Stars like The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels entertained millions of fans for years, so having them appear for brief showcases gives matches and pay per views big fight feels, with Lesnar's matches being described as must-see.

But for every part-timer who returns, there is a workhorse, who despite appearing each and every week, will lose their spot to the like of Lesnar of the deadman.

Here are three WWE Superstars who have sadly lost their time in the spotlight to a part-timer.

#3. Bobby Lashley

When Bobby Lashley returned to WWE on the RAW after WrestleMania, it was clear that the company had big plans for him.

Quickly rising to the top of the RAW roster, it was rumored that the former ECW Champion would become the Universal Champion.

The only problem: Brock Lesnar, who as Universal Champion, made so few appearances, that by the time that the Beast dropped the title, Lashley had lost a ton of momentum.

Now a heel, Lashley, who has been helped significantly by his hype man Lio Rush, could've been a great first feud with Braun Strowman if the monster among men had captured the red-strapped title at Crown Jewel.

Unfortunately for Lashley, Strowman and most of the fans, Brock regained the Universal Championship at Riyadh, meaning that the former Army Ranger probably won't have a chance to capture the gold for a very long time.

#2. Bayley

When Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch joined RAW in the Summer of 2015, many wonder where the fourth horsewoman of WWE, Bayley was.

It would be a year before Bayley joined Monday Nights, though made her presence known, with the huggable one holding the RAW Women's Championship in early 2017.

Since dropping the title though, Bayley has been completely forgotten about by the company, with her odd feud with Sasha Banks fizzling out.

To make matters worse, part-timers like Trish Stratus and Lita have recently returned, and whilst it is nice to see the Hall of Famers back, it's clear that the two part-timers are seen as much more important than the huggable one.

Never was this more clear than at the company's recent Evolution pay per view, as whilst Trish and Lita received prominent billing, Bayley was relegated to a 6-woman tag, a real shame considering how popular she once was.

#1.Braun Strowman

Perhaps the biggest casualty of part-timers is Braun Strowman.

An established main-eventer over the past year, Strowman has entertained the fans as both a face and a heel, with Strowman making history as the winner of the Greatest Royal Rumble.

However, due to Brock Lesnar's sporadic schedule, Strowman has had few title matches and has lost each one.

Following fan backlash from Brock 504 day title reign, many assumed that at Crown Jewel, Strowman would have his moment, though that dream was quickly dashed in a matter of minutes, with the Beast leaving Saudi Arabia as champion.

With Brock on top once again, fans wonder when we will see another title match, with Lesnar reportedly only signing up for two matches between now and WrestleMania 35.

Fans can only wonder if Strowman will ever get to hold the title, and if he does, when?
