5 WWE Superstars who should be given permission by Vince McMahon to cut unscripted promos

Every WWE Superstar is aware that in-ring skills are not enough to take them to the pinnacle of sports entertainment. They need to be equally good on the mic. Unfortunately, being good on the mic doesn't account for cutting scripted promos alone.

WWE Superstars who went on to make their name as greatest talkers are the ones who could turn the crowd in their favor in a blink of an eye. It takes a lot more to get a reaction from the WWE Universe irrespective of the Superstars' part in the storyline.

Superstars such as The Rock and John Cena were so good at convincing the crowd that they receive creative liberty when they speak now. In the current main roster, Kevin Owens is one of the few who is allowed to talk without a script.

Of course, it is not easy for Vince McMahon to trust everyone with a similar approach. However, there are few WWE Superstars who have proved time and again that they are good talkers. These are the ones who Vince can trust to go off-script and immortalize the storylines.

Without further ado, let's begin with our list.

#5 Ricochet

More than just a high-flyer...

Ricochet is one of the relatively newer faces on the main roster but that never stopped him from impressing the WWE Universe. Fortunately, he doesn't rely on his in-ring skills alone. Ricochet has proved time and again that he is a good talker and he can easily convince the fans to get behind him.

Indeed, we have not heard Ricochet trash talk enough to evaluate his full potential. But every time he gets his hands on the mic, he makes a strong case for himself. His expressions flow naturally which gives him an edge over the other Superstars.

With time, he can be nurtured into one of the best talkers on the current main roster. If he is allowed to go off-script, chances are that he will create an unforgettable segment and allow the WWE creatives to explore other aspects of his persona.

Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer recently said

The thing is, early on Ricochet did this promo and one thing I can say for Ricochet is that he does not need to be reading it from a script doing promos because it just wasn’t there and I’ve seen him do promos many times. You know, Live with no script and he’s fine.

In fact, he’s even better than fine but whenever I see him do a promo with a script it’s just like ‘ugh’! You know, that’s tough in WWE because if you don’t do promos people are conditioned to think you are not important but they won’t let any do promos expect Kevin Owens or Daniel Bryan without the script or on their own, you know do their own promos, even then they got to script it.

But yeah so. That is a weakness for him (Ricochet) going forward especially when it comes to being a top guy

#4 Sami Zayn

A little louder for the people in the back

We can't talk enough about how brilliant Sami Zayn is on the mic! He can be the most hated person inside the arena and yet, if he picks up the mic, everybody stops to listen.

Zayn is one of the very few Superstars who have the ability to get under the skin of those who are standing up against him. Unlike other Superstars, Zayn doesn't employ enunciation and dramatization to gain attention.

Instead, he identifies the points that will irk his opponents the most and builds his weapons around them. He uses the entire ring to work the crowd, forcing them to side with one of the Superstars.

Zayn skillfully appeals to the insecurities of the listeners which is why it is hard to ignore him. He can say things that others are afraid of without making a big deal out of it. Not to mention, he is quite natural at handing out the most painful burns. This is one of the reasons why e receives a huge pop from the WWE Universe, even if he is the heel in a storyline.

If he can be this good within the restrictions of the script, imagine how well he can do if he is trusted to talk without it...

#3 Alexa Bliss

Blessed with a moment of Bliss

Alexa Bliss is arguably the best talker in the Women's division. She can breathe life into a dead crowd with her spontaneous insults and fiery comebacks. Additionally, she does a fabulous job of staying in her character irrespective of the historical moments panning around her.

Bliss has often been applauded for her mic skills. Even when she had to stay away from the ring due to her injury, she continued to play a crucial part in promoting other feuds via 'Moment of Bliss'.

For years, Bliss has done the talking on behalf of any tag-team partner or friend that accompanied her to the ring. She can make anyone look good and most importantly, she can stop anyone from belittling her. Bliss knows how to provoke her opponents during the match which keeps the crowd entertained even during the slow spots.

Therefore, WWE should allow her to go on without the script at times. She can experiment with her flow and style and use her natural talent to keep the audience on their feet.

#2 The Miz

"Quiet on the set...please!"

There aren't enough good terms in any language to describe the magic that occurs when The Miz talks. It makes perfect sense that he asks everyone to shut up when he speaks. With or without the script, Miz is one of the most entertaining WWE Superstars today.

Miz has made his pre-planned responses look like impromptu clap backs at his opponents. He has a good sense of timing and is not afraid of hitting someone below the belt in the need of an hour. His trash talks are one of the reasons why he can build hype around any match that is booked for him.

Not to forget, he has cut memorable promos in the past. His entire segment at Talking Smack is one of the most unforgettable promos in WWE history.

One of the unique aspects of Miz's promo is that he can weave his emotions into the words without taking it overboard. He has a perfect sense of timing which helps him accommodate his expressions in a way that will appeal to the crowd.

Heel or Babyface, the Miz is one of the most convincing WWE Superstars of this generation. It's been a long time since we have seen him throw shade at other Superstars and it's high time that WWE allow Miz to revert to his sassy self once in a while.

#1 Samoa Joe

Traumatize someone with trash talk? Not a problem for Samoa Joe!

Samoa Joe is one of the most dreaded opponents on the main roster. He is someone who leaves no stone unturned to get under the skin of his opponent. He can make the best men drop to their knees by catching hold of their weakness.

One of the things that makes Joe extremely good on the mic is the fact that he is well aware of how he wants the WWE Universe to perceive him. He uses his aggression to talk down to the opponents and gradually turns them into taunts.

Once Joe realizes which of his sly remarks helps him get inside the head of his opponent, he uses them again and again until they become an integral part of the storyline. This helps him gain the complete attention of the crowd which keeps anticipating his next beatdown.

Another thing that sets Joe aside from all other Superstars is his well-timed taunts during the match. If other Superstars are down for long, Joe conveniently fills the gap with trash talks directed at his opponent or towards the crowd. And he is quite brilliant at aligning his in-ring skills with his mic skills to narrate a gruesome story.

Imagine what Jthe SmSamoanilling Machine can do if he is involved in a major title picture and Vince McMahon allows him to go full 'Joe' on the mic...
