10 Most Underused Wrestlers In WWE Right Now

10. Alberto Del Rio

Okay, so I’m not necessarily saying that Alberto Del Rio is underrated, as such, but I do think he’s currently being underused.

As the winner of the 2011 Royal Rumble, a former two-time United States Champion and four-time WWE World Champion, that gives his name a ton of value. And with SmackDown’s roster as thin as it is, you’d have thought they’d be jumping at the chance to utilise someone of Del Rio’s pedigree.

But currently, he doesn’t even have a spot on the card.

Now, admittedly, it’s still very early days in the brand split. But even if we look back a little further, Del Rio’s been absent for a while now. Since the start of June, he’s only featured in three separate singles bouts on WWE television.

The rumour mill is suggesting that this could be due to his relationship with Paige, with Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer recently suggesting that his girlfriend’s social media activity had dropped him in hot water with management.

But still, potential off-screen misdemeanours aside, a motivated Del Rio is a valuable commodity to any brand, roster, or organisation. So rather than shunning him from their programming, maybe they should be looking to get the best out of him before he takes his talent elsewhere—again.
