7 underrated WWE Superstars that could have great success in 2020

EC3 has been behind the 8-ball ever since signing his WWE contract.

#3 Big E

Will The New Day ever split?

Before starting his professional wrestling career, Big E was a very successful powerlifter. He would compete in several high-profile powerlifting competitions before the eyes of WWE decision-makers. Big E would sign with the company in late 2009 which was when he immediately jumped into the developmental process to learn the business and to learn "the WWE way."

Big E would go on to have an outstanding developmental career, which he topped off by defeating Seth Rollins and capturing the NXT Championship. This would be the accolade needed for the attention that would soon land Big E on the main roster. If you recall, Big E spent his early days as a main roster Superstar by serving as the muscle for Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee. This would turn into a very entertaining connection which displayed Big E as the ultra-intimidating force that he should be viewed as.

These days, Big E has certainly enjoyed a wealth of success as a member of multi-time tag team champions The New Day. While it has been a fun journey to follow, I cannot help but believe that there is even more money on the table for the big guy, if he would possibly turn heel and go on a monstrous rampage. This could even culminate with a potential shot at the WWE Championship, or the Universal Title.
