9. Naomi

Ultimately, the life of a WWE regular has never been more about how content you are to be just that - a regular.

Naomi is a performer who has deserved a great deal more acknowledgment of her skills from the company since surprisingly bursting out of a stacked SmackDown division in 2017, but has found herself constantly stalled since her second Women’s Title reign came to an end that year.

Matches so good they’ve been undeniable, entrances so dazzling they were draws and pops so loud they went viral didn’t combine to convince management that Naomi was worthy of greater attention. And all this while an American alternative exists that needs her as much as she needs it.

The clichéd trifecta of “health, wealth and happiness” comes in here of course. She may believably have all three as a long-tenured WWE star, but if even one is up for debate, she has a better right than most to ask why.
