5 little-used WWE stars who could have a big 2020

Curtis Axel

#2. Curtis Axel

There's no doubt that, as a former NXT star, a member of Nexus, a part of the Social Outcasts and an former Intercontinental champion, Curtis Axel has enjoyed a solid WWE career.

The son of the late WWE Hall of Famer 'Mr Perfect' Curt Hennig, Axel has been part of the WWE roster for some 12 years. It's my view, though, that Axel's potential now remains unfulfilled.

Midway through 2017, Axel and his tag team partner, Bo Dallas (who might also qualify for this list) began calling themselves the B-Team, and briefly became tag team champions. Sadly, that has been Axel's lot. My fear is that, at 40 years of age, this hugely-talented wrestler is being lost in the pack with so many new talents arriving in WWE on a regular basis.

Even if it were one last hurrah before he transitions into some form of coaching role that would suit him perfectly, I'd like to see Curtis Axel given a crack at some singles action in the forthcoming year.
