10 WWE Wrestlers Lost In The Shuffle

3. Mia Yim

When news broke of Keith Lee's scary battle with covid-19, it at long last became a little clearer why Mia Yim's 2021 ledger had been empty all that time. The former "Reckoning" hadn't wrestled all year, and disappeared from view completely when the rotten Retribution called it a day.

As it transpired, Lee's condition had deteriorated to an extent that her priorities understandably lay elsewhere. Unfortunately though, even with the 'Limitless' former NXT Champion now seemingly out of the woods, Yim has gone completely unused in her new (?) slot as a singles star on SmackDown.

It's not like the blue brand women's division is overspilling with talent at present either - Becky Lynch pied off Carmella and Zelina Vega's challenge during her return feud with Bianca Belair, but it's likely she'll end up aligning with them as Sasha Banks did shortly before her pre-SummerSlam exit. Yim's a far more natural face anyway, if Vince McMahon ever remembers what hers looks like.
