Only select superstars have all that it takes to be successful in the WWE. These superstars promise great matches every time they step into the ring. They give the fans what they want to see and take great risks to produce unbelievable moves, leading the fans to chant 'this is awesome'.
But for some unintelligible reason, WWE don't show enough faith in the potential of these amazingly talented wrestlers.
Here is a list of superstars WWE seem to have given up on.
5. Bobby Roode
Having been one of the top performers during his time in Impact Wrestling, Roode is a two-time World Champion and a six-time Tag Team Champion. After coming to NXT, he quickly rose to be a top star and became the NXT Champion beating Nakamura, eventually holding the title for over 200 days.
When he arrived on the main roster, he started brightly. Soon, he became the United States Champion but had a forgettable reign. Perhaps, the mistake from WWE came in the form of his face turn. He was later drafted to Raw still as a babyface.
Before his Raw debut, he was incredibly successful wherever he wrestled. On the red brand, Roode has become a shadow of his former self.
Last week, he lost 'clean' to Dolph Ziggler, meaning he is not in contention for the Intercontinental Championship any time in the near future. Despite The Glorious One appearing to be lost in a mix, WWE do not seem to have any intention on turning him heel. If this negligence continues, who knows, he might become just another jobber.
The creative team must realise Roode's best work in the industry has been as a heel and if he doesn't change his current status on Raw, he won't have the glorious future he deserves.
4. Sami Zayn
After making a name for himself on the independent circuit, Sami Zayn came to NXT as a complete underdog, fighting to fulfill his dreams. He put on some classic matches against Shinsuke Nakamura and then versus Neville, becoming NXT Champion, before making his way to the main roster.
From fighting his on-and-off best friend Kevin Owens to teaming up with him, Zayn's journey on the main roster, thus far, hasn't been what it should have been. Depressingly, he hasn't even won a single title on either SmackDown or Raw.
Currently, he is sidelined due to injury, and we can do nothing but hope that his return leads him to greater things.
3. Chad Gable
Let's be honest here, Chad Gable is one of the most underrated performers in WWE. He was one of the most beloved wrestlers in NXT as part of American Alpha, and had the weight of huge expectations when he debuted on the main roster. However, all of this proved to be a bust.
Even though the former NXT and SmackDown Tag Team Champion did put on great singles performances against the likes of Rusev and AJ Styles, WWE still couldn't capitalize on them. After his American Alpha partner Jason Jordan was drafted to Raw, he was paired with Shelton Benjamin, which didn't work for him very well. Later, he was drafted to Raw, breaking up the tag team.
As a matter of fact, WWE haven't given him enough screen time on Raw and, as a result, he hasn't appeared on TV in the last two months. It is quite clear that WWE have lost interest in him at this stage.
2. Cesaro
Talk about a complete package with speed, power, technique, and agility; Cesaro has it all. But yet, the Swiss Superman is seriously underrated by the biggest pro wrestling company.
Formerly wrestling under his real name Claudio Castagnoli in Chikara Wrestling and Ring of Honor, Cesaro came to WWE to show his skills to a bigger audience. Soon after his debut, he became the United States Champion -- this is his only singles title in WWE -- but went nowhere from there.
After winning the inaugural Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, everyone believed his long-due push was back on track only for him to be stuck in meaningless storylines from thereon.
As of now, he is one-half of The Bar with Sheamus on SmackDown. Despite that they won Raw Tag Team Championship four times before, it is still a rewarding singles push that a wrestler like Cesaro really deserves.
1. Finn Balor
In what was one of the best debuts on the main roster, Balor beat Roman Reigns in his first night on Raw and went on to become the premier Universal Champion by defeating Seth Rollins, only to relinquish the title the next day due to an injury.
Since his return from injury, The Demon King hasn't been the same.
The original founder of The Bullet Club is a man, who can give a great match with anyone. He has impressive in-ring skills, appreciable promo skills, and is, hence, a person who should be a part of the main event picture.
Perhaps, the only thing that can help him reach great heights again is the takeover of the two brands by Triple H, once Vince McMahon steps down.
