5 WWE Superstars that are beginning to lose momentum 

Momentum has always been the name of the game in WWE and while there are other factors that contribute to a Superstar's success, this is arguably the most important. Beyond that, it is that one thing that can take an indy darling and make him or her into the next big thing on the roster.

If nothing else, momentum is what everyone on the WWE roster needs right now and it could make a huge difference in their career. Unfortunately for the following five Superstars, they are having difficulty gaining that much-needed momentum and are at risk of falling into the chasm that is irrelevancy

#5 Liv Morgan

Will WWE ever know who the real Liv Morgan is?

There was just something about Liv Morgan's vignettes about finally revealing her true self that resonated with fans. Maybe it was due to the fact that fans wanted to see what she would do after her stint with The Riott Squad or the big pay off that was being teased, but there was a lot of attention and speculation on her at the time.

WWE decided to reveal her as Lana's secret lover during her wedding to Bobby Lashley and everyone was shocked. They were more shocked, however, when that part of the storyline was scrapped, the incident was never mentioned again and Morgan was put into a mini feud with former Riott Squad members.

Fast forward to now, and Morgan is back to her backstage segments trying to recreate the magic that got fans interested in the first place. The problem with this though is that Morgan was racking up key wins at the time and did a good job of staying afloat. Now it seems like all of this has been undone and she is back at square one.

#4 Andrade

Andrade just isn't the same without his United States title

Believe it or not, wins and losses mean a lot in WWE and Andrade has taken quite a few of those lately. Add that to his knee injury earlier in the year and his title reign coming to an end at the hands of Apollo Crews and you can see that the former NXT Champion is starting to lose momentum.

Another big loss of momentum came when he lost a champion versus champion match against Drew McIntyre on Monday Night Raw, which only set the tone for what would come later. If nothing else, Andrade is now almost directionless on the Red brand and if he doesn't win the US Title back, the company is going to have to find something else for him to do.

In the end, WWE can easily rectify this by putting him in the WWE title picture against McIntyre, but who knows if that is even the plan anymore. Furthermore, what would be the point of doing McIntyre versus Andrade again when we all saw what happened last time the two locked up?

#3 Shayna Baszler

Will Shayna Baszler ever get back on track in WWE

Wasn't Shayna Baszler supposed to be the future of WWE?

While The Queen of Spades was originally pegged to defeat Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 36, she lost that match and then quickly got lost in the shuffle. WWE tried to reignite that flame by putting her in the women's Money in the Bank ladder match, but she came up unsuccessful once again.

Whether WWE is doing this strategically to save Asuka versus Baszler down the line, or that they just don't have any plans for her remains to be seen. But there has to be something going on - why else would such a top tier talent be kept off of television when she is supposedly the future of the Women's division.

In the end, Baszler is someone that brings a certain kind of brutality to the squared circle which is very difficult to duplicate. In fact, her intense aura and the way she can destroy an opponent in a matter of seconds is what the Raw women's division needs at an uncertain time like this.

#2 King Corbin

King Corbin used to be the best heel in WWE

How do you go from retiring Kurt Angle and becoming King of the Ring to barely staying above water on the midcard? WWE has found themselves in this situation with Baron Corbin and he just doesn't seem to have any kind of firm spot at the moment. It's almost as if the company is content to let him float at this point.

With that being said and King Corbin once being a top heel, it is almost sad to see where he is now. This isn't exactly the WWE's fault, especially since he wasn't a great candidate for another Money in the Bank briefcase run and was needed as a stepping stone in the Intercontinental title tournament, but he deserves somewhere soft to land.

Whether that turns out to be a challenger for Braun Strowman's Universal Title or even a run with the Intercontinental title remains to be seen, but being in the mid-card seems pointless for a character like him. In fact, it is a horrible waste of a heel character and just undoes everything that was built up for him.

#1 Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens needs a reason to fight again

Kevin Owens is one of the most underutilized talents on the entire WWE roster and has been the recipient of start-stop pushes for quite a while now. While that's not necessarily WWE's fault, especially with their renewed focus on the future of the company, it's still difficult to watch such a bright Superstar fade into obscurity.

Add to the fact that Owens lost to Angel Garza after being off television for over a month and you can see why it's so disappointing to watch. Between the Stone Cold Steve Austin-like vibe Owens has shown in the past, and his ability to ruthlessly ridicule anyone on the microphone, he had all the momentum in the world.

It would be nice to see Owens utilized in a better way in the WWE or moved to a brand that could truly use him. Furthermore, the momentum he had behind him before being taken off television for awhile was nothing short of magic and something that might never be duplicated again.
