Ask any daily followers of Monday Night Raw about the low to the mid-card and the question would probably be laughed off at.

The creative team also seems to hold the mid-card in the same vein. The manner in which it is neglected is almost criminal for a company of WWE’s stature.

Wrestlers of the caliber of Balor, Lashley, Ziggler have no direction whatsoever and it would not be a surprise if one or more of them eventually decide to move to greener pastures because of the way their characters are handled. Lower mid-card wrestlers like Apollo Crews, Elias or even talented wrestlers like Titus are hardly on the show.

The prestigious Intercontinental title is treated as a joke at the best of times. It is hard to see why cannot WWE bet on wrestlers like Apollo or ECIII and support them to be the IC champion and feud with wrestlers of similar stature in the company. Returning superstars like Sami Zayn can be put straight in the picture and would look right at home.

If any of the mid-card talents make an impression and the crowds really get behind any particular wrestler then only the main event scene beckons. Case in point would be Kofi from the SmackDown.

WWE has to start somewhere because the way as it is now no one really cares about a majority of the wrestlers and sadly that is not their fault.No proper feuds and no direction eventually leads to no crowd support.

Wrestlers like a Ziggler or a Jericho are different because the nature of work between the ropes is so good that even without direction people get behind these two.
