10 Biggest Misplaced Complaints About WWE Today

10. Wrestler X Is Underused

There’s much to be said about the flaws in how WWE utilise their workers, and particularly the way they inexplicably make the largest talent pool they’ve ever assembled feel undermanned every single week. The Raw & SmackDown rosters are unquestionably populated by wrestlers who could be doing more, but that doesn’t mean they should be, and fans routinely go over the top in declaring their favourite wrestlers under-pushed or misused.

Cesaro is one of the finest wrestlers on the planet, and deserves the opportunity to dazzle audiences with his in-ring skills on a weekly basis. He doesn’t always get such chances, but is it accurate to call him “underused” when he and partner Sheamus are featured in a semi-prominent role every Monday night?

Similarly, is the constant clamour for Sami Zayn to be thrust towards title contention logical when his whole wrestling career, from ROH to NXT and beyond, suggests he’s far better suited to a slow-burning underdog story?

There are only so many seats at the top table, and WWE can’t push everyone at once. This means that some fan favourites will never break through the glass ceiling, but they’re still occupying key spots for the biggest company in the world, and that should be celebrated
