10 WWE Wrestlers Who Have Been Directionless During The Brand Split

8. Kane

Splitting Kane and Big Show up in the 2016 Draft might have been the smartest thing WWE could have done. While Big Show has wisely been kept off programming, Kane has maintained a presence on the program on Tuesday nights but has yet to engage in anything meaningful.

Kane has appeared on occasion for matches with Bray Wyatt and Baron Corbin, and oddly owns victories over both men, but he doesn't serve much of a purpose at a time where WWE is focused on pushing "New Era" talent.

While The Big Red Monster has never been known for his extraordinary in-ring ability, he has helped several stars get over in recent years, most notably Daniel Bryan. That would be an ideal use of him on SmackDown as opposed to inserting him into random matches with The Wyatt Family where he bores fans to tears more often than not.

His placement on his list does not mean I'm pushing for him to contend for the WWE World Championship against AJ Styles and Dean Ambrose, but if he's going to be around in a regular role, management might as well get all that they can out of him.
