10 Most Underused Wrestlers In WWE Right Now

I hear you ..."First Del Rio, Sheamus, and the Shining Stars—and now Jerry Lawler; what on earth is he thinking?"

With Byron Saxton assuming the role of the goofy face announcer, Lawler was afforded the freedom to be as cynical as he liked, and it produced some of his best work in a number of years. As a rejuvenated heel, Lawler struck up a bantering relationship with Mauro Ranallo—but most importantly it was an enjoyable one.

Or at least, far better than the usual heel vs. face announcer dynamic we’ve seen from the likes of JBL and Saxton.
