10 most misused WWE wrestlers of 2017

<p>
WWE failed to bring out the best in some of it's incredible wrestlers

#9 Jason Jordan

<p>

You all know why Jason Angle - erm...Jordan...is here.

No, but really though, Jason Jordan is one of the aptest wrestlers on the roster, and he has the amateur background to prove it. Jordan was one of the best collegiate amateur wrestlers in the country for three consecutive years and even went entirely unbeaten in his senior season at Indiana University. His accolades earned him a developmental contract with WWE, where he toiled for a few years in FCW and NXT as a jobber before teaming up with Chad Gable to form one of the more impressive tag teams of the modern era - American Alpha.

Jordan and Gable ended up being one of the most popular tag teams on both the NXT and WWE rosters, racking up two Tag Team Championship victories and putting on noteworthy showings against seemingly whoever they faced. And then, inexplicably, the duo disappeared from television following their Tag Team Title loss to The Usos.

Enter one of the stupidest angles (pun intended) of the year.

RAW General Manager Kurt Angle revealed that Jordan was his "son" and drafted him to the red brand. The angle (heh! I did it again!) was panned from the outset, as pretty much everyone knew that this wasn't truly the case. His lack of personality hampered him further, and he continues to get lukewarm reactions from the crowd despite being booked as a babyface.

I worry that Jason Jordan will never be able to live this down.
