10 Weakest Links In WWE Right Now
Bloated 'Demons' & sleepy 'Vipers.'
WWE's talent pool has never been as a deep as it is today. The active roster is ludicrously well-stocked, with genuinely world-class athletes all over the card, from Raw and SmackDown's lower reaches to the main event scene. Kassius Ohno, one of the most well-rounded wrestlers on the planet, is currently playing a developmental gatekeeper's role: that's how stacked this company is.
The depth extends beyond in-ring competitors. Corey Graves is the most engaging colour commentator since the late, great Bobby Heenan. Daniel Bryan is an impossibly affable authority figure. The Performance Center is crammed with respected coaches, trainers, and executives.
Regardless, every group has its weak links, and Team WWE is no exception. Yes, the promotion is full of talented people, but there are still plenty who detract from the product creatively, athletically, or in ways that may not be obvious to the casual viewer.
Note that this isn't a ranking of the company's least skilled performers, but those whose work actively makes WWE programming a less enjoyable experience (though there'll inevitably be some crossover). Full-time or part-time, behind the scenes or camera-facing: these men and women stifle everything they touch.
10. Alicia Fox
Alicia Fox has been a professional wrestler for 11 years, and an active WWE roster member since 2008. This makes her one of the most tenured performers in the company, but she has never developed beyond mediocrity, despite regularly working with some of the best women's wrestlers in WWE history.
A beautiful bridging northern lights suplex and tilt-a-whirl backbreaker don't make a great wrestler. Fox has mastered both, but remains sloppy and basic compared to modern peers like Asuka and Bayley. Her fundamentals are non-existent, with Alicia opting to fill the space between moves with 'unstable' mannerisms over solid transitional work, and she has never been popular among fans.
Her gimmick is highly problematic. The 'crazy woman' character type should've been buried in the '90s, yet it's all Fox has ever known. Sure, it has led to a handful of entertaining moments over the years, but it's an unwanted reminder of the regressive, one-note gimmicks this so-called 'Women's Revolution' was supposed to erase.
Inexplicably promoted to Raw team captain at Survivor Series, Fox is fine in a peripheral role, but actively drags TV down when positioned prominently - as she is now.
