WWE presented their annual draft back in October which allowed both SmackDown and RAW to boost their ranks ahead of this year's Survivor Series event. Interestingly, there were not many call-ups from NXT as part of this year's Draft, but there were several stars who were drafted and are yet to appear.
WWE purposely took several names out of the draft because they were injured which included the likes of Jinder Mahal and Ivar from the Viking Raiders, but it appears that several other stars are still sidelined.
It's been a month since the WWE Draft took place on both SmackDown and RAW and there are still a handful of WWE stars who are yet to appear on their new brand.
#6 WWE star Apollo Crews
Apollo Crews was gaining some momentum as part of the feud against The Hurt Business on Monday Night RAW before he was drafted over to SmackDown. Crews and Ricochet were seemingly able to hold their own whilst feuding with the four-man team, but Crews has since been moved away from the rivalry and left Ricochet to battle the group alone.
Interestingly, on the night of the WWE Draft, Apollo Crews appeared on SmackDown and was one of the stars who was targetted by Lars Sullivan, who was also drafted over to the Blue brand.
This was the last time Crews was seen on WWE TV which gives the impression that WWE didn't have any plans for the former United States Champion when he was drafted over to SmackDown four weeks ago. Crews has a lot of talent and could easily have been added to the Survivor Series team or even part of the qualifying matches, but it appears that the company has no plans for the star at present.
#5 WWE star Tamina Snuka
Tamina Snuka, who's now known as just Tamina has been overlooked throughout her WWE career. That being said, during her last run on SmackDown, she challenged Bayley for the SmackDown Women's Championship, which is the closest that she has come to winning a Women's Championship in WWE.
Tamina was drafted over to SmackDown back in October and whilst every other woman who was moved to the Blue brand has already had TV time, Tamina is still waiting in the wings.
Natalya has been part of two different qualifying matches for Survivor Series whilst Tamina still waits for one opportunity. There are rumors that WWE is waiting to include Tamina in the feud between Jey Uso and Roman Reigns since the former 24/7 Champion has been vocal about the rivalry on social media, but that remains to be seen.
At present Tamina is the only female who was drafted to SmackDown that hasn't yet appeared on her new brand, but that could all change this week if she's part of another Survivor Series qualifying match.
#4 WWE's Queen Charlotte Flair
Charlotte Flair hasn't been seen on WWE TV since May when she was sidelined by Nia Jax in a backstage attack. Flair opted to take some time away from WWE TV so that she could have some much-needed surgery and take a break after being one of the company's top performers for a long stretch of time.
Flair was a shock name that was included in the draft since it wasn't clear when she would be making her return, but rumors suggested that the 2021 Royal Rumble was the most likely place.
Many fans believed that Flair could have been ready to make her return much sooner and could be the woman that saves Lana from Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler in the coming weeks, which is why she was included in the draft. The Queen will likely target Jax upon her return and could be the helping hand that Lana has been looking for.
It's been more than four weeks since The Queen was drafted to WWE's flagship show and like every other star on this list, she is still yet to make an appearance.
#3 WWE star Aleister Black
Aleister Black was defeated by Kevin Owens on Monday Night RAW to end their feud before both men were then interestingly drafted over to SmackDown. The night of the draft then saw the two men exchange blows on their new brand before Owens stepped into the Survivor Series men's team whilst Black disappeared.
Zelina Vega also moved over to SmackDown as part of the draft and has since wrestled on her new brand in the absence of her husband.
It's unknown what is happening with Aleister Black since he could have been an interesting addition to the SmackDown men's team, but WWE looks as though they are keeping him on the sidelines for a different reason.
Black worked closely with fellow WWE star Paul Heyman on his promo skills whilst on RAW and has shown signs of improvement in recent months so it's unclear how the company has nothing creative for the former NXT Champion.
There is still one more place to be determined on Team SmackDown and hopefully, in the coming weeks, it's Aleister Black who's the man who takes the spot.
#2 WWE star Dabba-Kato
Dabba-Kato was a name that was drafted over to Monday Night RAW whilst the brand was still able to put RAW Underground on the map. Kato and Braun Strowman had created their own feud as part of the show hosted by Shane McMahon which made him a shock addition to the brand when his name was called.
Of course, the recent COVID-19 issues that have plagued WWE have meant that RAW Underground has been canceled for the immediate future and Kato has been taken off WWE TV, at least for the time being.
WWE seemingly had plans for both Kato and Strowman off the back of their RAW Underground feud but this has now been put on the backburner since Strowman has been added to the men's Survivor Series team ahead of next weekend's show.
RAW Underground will hopefully make its TV return in the coming months when the company deems it safe for filming to begin again and Shane McMahon can continue to build the former NXT star into the ultimate fighter.
#1 Former WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Naomi
Naomi's name has been added to several rumors in recent weeks even though the former Women's Champion hasn't been seen on WWE TV for a number of months.
Naomi was drafted to Monday Night RAW as part of last month's WWE Draft which came as a shock since her husband Jimmy Uso went undrafted but is expected to remain on SmackDown with his brother Jey. Despite not being drafted, Jimmy has made several appearances since the draft and has become part of the feud between Jey and Roman Reigns.
Naomi was rumored to be joining The Hurt Business since their feud with RETRIBUTION called for a woman to be added to the team so that Reckoning could finally be part of the action.
This is yet to happen since Naomi noted that she was forced to undergo surgery ahead of the draft and it's unclear when she will be fit to return to WWE TV. The former SmackDown Women's Champion is yet to make an impact on RAW in her career, and this could be her chance if she were to join forces with MVP and his Hurt Business.
