10 WWE Wrestlers Who Are Impossible To Care About

8. Mickie James

Mickie James earned a full-time WWE contract on the strength of her performance against NXT Women's Champion Asuka at TakeOver: Toronto. At a time when 'The Empress Of Tomorrow' had ran through everyone else on the roster, James, a five-time Divas Champion, was brought in to put an end to her all-out dominance. She was unsuccessful, but regardless, it was a tremendous match that proved she could still go, and helped her win the respect of NXT's partisan audience.

Unfortunately, WWE have done little with James since the big match. She returned to SmackDown in January and forged a brief alliance with Alexa Bliss, but it soon fell apart. James quickly slid down the rankings, and was sent to Raw as part of April's Superstar Shake-Up, but this hasn't resulted in an upturn in fortunes.

Mickie is barely even being used anymore. She has wrestled just eight matches on Raw, and has only tasted victory in two of those. The Asuka matched proved that she can still go toe-to-toe with anyone, but she has become driftwood, and her lack of televised opportunities has made it impossible to invest in her.
