10 WWE Wrestlers Who Have Been Directionless During The Brand Split

10. Zack Ryder

Zack Ryder flies solo to kick off the list and isn't included with Mojo Rawley because when his Hype Bro tag team partner was drafted to SmackDown Live in July, it was pretty clear he would never get above a certain level. And if it wasn't for Ryder, he likely wouldn't be on the main roster at all.

Ryder, however, was on something of a roll at the start of the summer, winning the main event of Raw on July 4th, beating Sheamus in clean fashion, and contending for the United States Championship at Battleground. Even prior to that point, he had won the Intercontinental Championship in one of the biggest upsets of all-time at WrestleMania 32.

Thus, it appeared he could be a huge beneficiary of the Brand Split, but that has been anything but the case so far. Sure, he and Rawley have scored a few wins in tag team action here and there. But they haven't been in contention for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at all and likely won't be for a while. The Long Island Iced Z could be a valuable asset to the blue brand's midcard, but instead he has been wasting away in the tag team division.
