WWE has one of the biggest rosters in pro wrestling, with three brands - RAW, SmackDown and NXT, to fill, as well as NXT UK. With such a huge roster comes the issue of how WWE's creative team can utilise all the Superstars on either of these brands.

Sometimes, Superstars are not part of any storylines for a long time, or are repackaged to play roles of a manager on WWE television which results in them no longer wrestling, while there are other Superstars who don't get any TV time because WWE creative does not have any storylines for them or their character/gimmick is obsolete.

Let's take a look at 4 WWE Superstars who haven't wrestled on TV in 2019: (this list includes only matches on the main roster)


#4 Aiden English

Aiden English seems to be a forgotten figure in WWE after having garnered some success and popularity on the main roster when he was paired alongside Rusev. English was an integral part of Rusev's hugely popular Rusev Day gimmick, where he would announce Rusev before the Bulgarian entered into the ring, while also singing.

The gimmick was loved by fans and Rusev and English were one of the best bits of SmackDown Live. But later Rusev and English began a feud with each other which then saw English suggesting that he and Lana - Rusev's wife - were having an affair.

After the feud ended sometime last year, English didn't feature on WWE television, before he returned earlier this year as a commentator on 205 Live alongside Vic Joseph and Nigel McGuinness, with Dio Maddin now replacing Nigel McGuinness in the commentary team.

English's last televised match was against Rusev on October 23, 2018, but he did wrestle earlier this year against Kassius Ohno at Worlds Collide during Wrestlemania Axxess.

#3 Big Show

Big Show has been with WWE since 1999, having joined Vince McMahon's promotion from WCW during the Monday Night Wars. He went on to have a legendary career and has been a seven-time World Champion.

Throughout his 20-year career with WWE, Show has been an important part of the WWE roster, not just in the ring, but also backstage as a locker room leader.

But the Grand Slam Champion has not featured much over the last two years, owing to various reasons. He was in a feud with Big Cass in 2017, when WWE were trying to push Enzo and Cass and Show sided with Enzo after the tag team broke up. He then had a short feud with Braun Strowman and had to have hip surgery.

He returned to the ring a year later in 2018 and teamed up with The Bar briefly, before leaving once again due to a hamstring injury, which happened in November 2018. His last match was a 6-man tag team match on November 20, 2018, and he hasn't returned to the WWE yet.

We may not seem him for a while as he is set to star in his own show called The Big Show Show.

#2 and #1 Epico and Primo Colon

The Colons - Epico and Primo, have been with WWE for a long time, with Primo debuting on the main roster in 2008, while Epico debuted a few years later in 2011.

The cousins have had a few changes in their gimmicks in their run in WWE, as Los Matadores, then later changed to The Shining Stars in 2016, before becoming The Colons in 2017.

The two have won the Tag Team Championship once, having won it way back in 2012 and they held the titles for 107 days. The Colons, though, have not had much to do on WWE television over the last two years as they have wrestled just thrice in the last two years, two of which were dark matches that weren't televised.

Their last televised match was back in 2018 when they wrestled The Bar on SmackDown Live, while their last match in WWE was a dark match against Heavy Machinery on SmackDown in January.

Though still under contract with WWE, The Colons wrestle for World Wrestling Council, Carlos Colón Sr. – Primo Colon's father and Epico's uncle.
