WWE has a bunch of stars with the potential and skills on their roster. The roster that WWE currently has is the most stacked and best WWE roster we have ever seen. They possess great athletism, but WWE management has other plans.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.
WWE's booking decisions are mostly biased. WWE waste a few wrestlers to keep their stars protected. Protected here means being saved from losses and not getting pinned or submitted. They mostly win and they are given favor over other wrestlers. It might be good for fans or might be seen as biased by them.
Here are five wrestlers in WWE that are most protected at the moment:
#5 Ronda Rousey
Many fans might have noticed this, Ronda Rousey is the most dominant and protected wrestler in WWE.
Ronda Rousey has been dominating the Raw's women's division since she arrived on the scene. Ronda Rousey has favorably taken place of Asuka in the division and is now the undefeated and unstoppable force.
She won the Raw Women's Championship just after four months of the debut and in her third singles match and one thing is for sure, she is not going to lose it soon. She might break more arms until WWE lets her get pinned clean. Till then, we might see her become Brock Lesnar of women's division. Well, she deserves that too.
#4 Samoa Joe
Samoa Joe is inarguably the most protected SmackDown star.
Samoa Joe is a person who is a wrestling veteran and has a mastery of submission moves. He is both strong and athletic, which has garnered the attention of WWE towards him. WWE has protected him in the best way possible and is the only person who hasn't submitted or got pinned clean. If you want an answer to the controversial ending we saw at Hell in a Cell, the answer to that is WWE doesn't want Samoa Joe to lose clean and that's why Styles tapped out.
WWE might very well put the WWE Championship on Samoa Joe for a long time when he becomes champion. Surely his reign is going to be interesting.
#3 Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman surely comes in the list of most protected wrestlers in WWE.
Braun Strowman has been strongly booked as a singles competitor since the 2016 draft and this year has been amazing for him. He has simply defeated everyone who steps in his way and has been on a path of destruction. He has been undefeated in singles competition and won the Greatest Royal Rumble and Money in the Bank.
However, his Money In the Bank cash-in was unsuccessful due to Brock's interference and it was all done because WWE didn't want Strowman to lose. Till date, he has only been pinned by Brock Lesnar or Roman Reigns and only this tells how protected WWE has kept Braun Strowman. He is surely going to win Universal Championship some day.
#2 Roman Reigns
Every wrestling fan who watches WWE knows how protected Roman Reigns is.
He is simply the most protected WWE guy since he joined the main roster. From being the most protected guy in the Shield, he has been the top dog of the WWE (sorry, The Big Dog).
Talking in 2018, Roman Reigns has only been pinned four times by the Miz, Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley, and Seth Rollins. The next WWE poster boy was even protected from suffering a loss at Hell in a Cell due to an interference from Lesnar. WWE is even going to keep Reigns protected for rest of his career.
#1 Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre is simply the most protected wrestler in WWE right now.
The Scottish Psychopath has simply been one of the most dominant wrestlers in WWE right now. The current Raw Tag Team Champion has been undefeated in singles competition since he arrived on the main roster in April and has been crushing bodies with Dolph Ziggler since then.
Both Vince McMahon and Triple H are high on him currently. That's also a reason why is the most protected wrestler in WWE. He is also the right person to dethrone Roman Reigns, so expect him to be Universal Champion by 2019.
