13 Most Underused Talents In WWE Today

Whose position on the roster just doesn't reflect what they bring to the table?

By Adam O'Brien /

As the most well-known professional wrestling organisation on the globe, WWE has countless performers at its disposal, each with unique characteristics and abilities, ranging from strength and power, high-flying athleticism, and even being a second/third generation Superstar as part of a wrestling family legacy. I believe it was Triple H who said that talent is the only natural resource that comes through those doors, and it€™s going to keep on coming until WWE decides to close them, which isn€™t happening any time soon. Although the roster is just oozing talent, with a whole host of characters appearing on Monday Night Raw alone, there are a lot of really gifted performers whose natural ability just isn€™t reflected in the way they€™re booked. These can be younger stars looking for an opportunity to create a legacy for themselves, or even already established stars who just simply haven€™t been afforded the chance to make it to the next level. The following is a list of those Superstars in WWE who have been underused by the creative team. In many cases, that doesn€™t mean they haven€™t been used at all, but it simply means that their ability in the ring or on the mic is simply too good to be given the spot they have been on the card.

13. The Ascension

Konnor and Viktor are nothing more than enhancement talent for popular tag-teams in WWE right now, and it€™s such a shame that this is where they ended up after such a fantastic run in NXT. The Ascension laid waste to everyone down at Full Sail University, and made quick work of their opponents every night. They were over as hell, with fans chanting along with every punch and slam during their record-breaking reign as NXT Tag-Team Champions. Konnor and Viktor aren€™t the best wrestlers going, but they knew how to play to their strengths in NXT and they did it perfectly. When they debuted on Raw, however, they had their characters changed into way over-exaggerated versions of the previous ones, and many compared them to a poor man€™s Legion of Doom due to the face-paint and the entrance gear. If The Ascension had been allowed to rule things on the main roster without any shifts in character, they would be one of the most exciting duos in WWE today. Unfortunately, it seems Vince McMahon just wasn€™t keen on the two.
