There is no denying that WWE has one of the most talented rosters a wrestling promotion can hope to have. Their roster is one which is filled with diverse talent from all over the world and contains a wonderful mix of powerhouses, technical wrestlers and more.

There are many wrestling promotions who would love to have even half of the superstars the WWE has at its disposal, and this is something which highlights just how talented the current roster is.

However WWE has been guilty of not making the best use of their superstars on more than one occasion. Many wrestling fans have shown their disappointment and anger at times when a superstar gets shoved down the pecking order even if that particular superstar has proven to be main event material.

Fans have been very vocal about wanting their favorite superstars to receive a deserved push, and have made this very clear both during live shows and on social media.

The unfortunate thing is that the WWE has not always listened to their fans and have been very fixed on pushing the superstars who they feel should be the next face of the company, instead of focusing on those superstars who are really over with the fans.

WWE have to ensure that they stop repeating this mistake and give other superstars an opportunity to feature in the main event. There are many superstars the WWE have kept in the mid-card who would do far better if they were moved up the roster.

In this article, we will look at 3 superstars who have been overlooked for far too long and really deserve to be pushed harder than they have been.


#1 Finn Balor

Finn Balor - underutilised

Balor is a very charismatic superstar and it isn't difficult to take a liking to him. The problem with this is that it has made his character a bit boring and predictable. He hasn't returned to the main event scene ever since he was forced to relinquish the WWE Universal Championship.

His reunion with Carl Anderson and Luke Gallows did bring him back into the spotlight, but this is not enough.

If the WWE wants Balor to return to the top, a heel turn is the best way for them to get this started. With Reigns set to be the top baby face on Raw, it is likely that a heel run is the only way which Balor will receive a meaningful push.

Balor has been a face character since he debuted in the WWE and a heel run would inject new life into his current character. This heel run should serve as the catalyst for him becoming the WWE Universal Champion.

It is clear that the WWE is keen on keeping Reigns as a babyface character. This means that it will be a bit difficult for Balor to establish himself as a face champion, although the fans do respond to him and treat him as a face character.

Balor never received a rematch for the title which he never lost, and this is something which needs to be fixed. The WWE could use this as a means for Balor to go heel and pursue the championship.

#2 Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe's run in the WWE has been riddled with injuries over the past few months. This has seen Joe take somewhat of a back seat to other superstars while he has been away. But the WWE needs to waste no time in getting him into a meaningful feud now that he is back.

Joe has been drafted to SmackDown Live, and this opens up a lot more opportunities for him to dominate. Roman Reigns is clearly going to rule Monday Night Raw for the foreseeable future, and at 39 years of age, Joe is unlikely to be hanging around for too long in a full-time capacity.

A feud with Rusev would be really interesting to watch, and the WWE needs to take note of the enormous potential that such a feud would have for both superstars. Both Rusev and Joe are in need of a push, and a rivalry between these two athletes might be just what they need to gain some momentum.

Another idea could be to pair Joe and Rusev together as a tag-team. There is no denying that this would be a powerful duo who could dominate the tag-team division.

#3 Rusev

WWE SummerSlam 2015
Rusev Day!

Rusev is one of the biggest superstars to make an impact in WWE, but one has to feel that he has been drastically misused.

He has been partnering with Aiden English on SmackDown Live and it feels as if this pairing has now run its course. Rusev should be challenging for a title and it doesn't look as if he will be a contender for any of the titles on SmackDown Live.

It certainly does not make sense that he has not featured in the main event scene on a more regular basis. Rusev is a wonderful athlete and the WWE Universe has taken a liking to the superstar as well as the now famous "Rusev Day" chant which WWE is not capitalising on.

If the WWE is keen on keeping Rusev paired with Aiden English, it would be a good idea for the duo to challenge for the SmackDown Live tag team titles. They could also enter into a feud with The New Day or The Usos to build up some momentum before they eventually challenge for the tag-team titles.

Although Rusev did get a title shot against AJ Styles at Extreme Rules, he hasn't walked away with the championship belt. The feud between Rusev and Styles needs to be pushed for as long as possible, with Rusev eventually winning the gold.
