10 WWE Superstars who may never get the push they deserve

Over the years, the entire landscape of the WWE has changed due to the expansion of the product to different and viable platforms in the world.

The company has always entertained the idea of catering to its fan base and have become more business-minded than they used to be.

However, despite the alteration in complexions of the business, Vince McMahon still remains a pivotal component in what should be promoted and what must be not.

The Chairman continues to take the decisions that can either affect a career or elevate it to the next level, and there are many superstars in the business that are still struggling to grab the brass ring under the Boss.

While Superstars like Drew Mcintyre, Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, and Braun Strowman are dominating their respective brands, there are still a lot of superstars who are trying to scratch and claw their way to the top.

So, without further ado, let's dive deep and analyze the 10 WWE Superstars who may never get the push they deserve.

Disclaimer: The opinion expressed in the article is of the writer and doesn't necessarily reflect the stand of Sportskeeda

#1 Samoa Joe

In what was possibly one of the greatest rivalries in recent memory, Samoa Joe's heel work in a feud with Styles brought legitimate attention to SmackDown Live.

The Destroyer has always been very proficient in dissing his opponents and his incredible mic work and character progression made him a real threat to The Phenomenal One's WWE Championship.

Even the Universal Championship feud with Brock Lesnar cemented Joe's position as one of the most dangerous superstars to ever grace the squared circle.

However, despite making the most of his opportunities, Joe has not held a single title on the main roster which is disappointing.

Since he has shared some terrific altercations with Daniel Bryan lately, a potential feud could happen somewhere down the line.

#2 Constable Corbin

Has the Constable role made Corbin a bigger deal?

Despite being impressed by his physical stature, Vince McMahon has never quite really put Baron Corbin on the forefront of his plans and make him feel like a threat.

Ironically, the former US Champion has always been an afterthought in the company, with his current 'Constable' role establishing him as a chicken 'heel'.

He is often seen ridiculed by Stephanie McMahon for his actions and hasn't been a part of any substantial rivalries on Monday Night Raw.

His current feud with Braun Strowman seems nothing more than a stepping stone for the Monster Among Men before he gets his hands on the Universal Championship.

It's an unfortunate place for the Lone Wolf, because he really possesses all the credentials to do something spectacular on the red brand, and while his authoritative role looked promising initially, it definitely seems more similar to 'Corporate Kane'.

#3 Sasha Banks and Bayley

A significant reason why I have included both Sasha Banks and Bayley on this list is because of the company's current ideology of keeping them together before they split them.

Both Sasha Banks and Bayley are two of the most competitive female superstars on the planet and were a substantial component in changing the industry whilst being in NXT.

Judging by the way Triple H booked them, it feels like an absolute disappointment that they might never recover from this phase again, and their booking has shown some worrying signs.

Both the superstars do not have any role in the Survivor Series' PPV, and might not see any future World title opportunities unless someone turns heel to cater to Ronda Rousey.

It's a difficult spot to be in, and while they have won the Raw Women's Championship multiple times, these two have a long way to go for before tasting success once again.

#4 Rusev

Possibly one of the biggest superstars that stood head and shoulders with the rest of the wrestling industry was Rusev due to his immense popularity with the 'Rusev Day' moniker.

While legions of WWE fans applauded his gimmick and coerced the company to push him, the Bulgarian Brute never managed to seek the attention of the management.

There's no denying that he shared the ring with AJ Styles and the Undertaker on different occasions, but these encounters saw him lose to his opponents in disappointing fashion.

His camaraderie with Aiden English took WWE by storm in early 2018, with Rusev receiving deafening reactions from the crowd on a weekly basis.

His in-ring ability speaks for itself and while his feud with Aiden English did felt promising, his gimmick has died a tragic death, in the process.

#5 Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn is one of my favourite WWE superstars of this generation. The guy has all the potential in the world to follow the same path as Daniel Bryan, A.J. Styles, and CM Punk.

However, the Underdog has not received any significant push to make a name for himself under the experiential supervision of Vince McMahon.

His heel turn did felt very promising, but the company didn't capitalize on his momentum when he and Kevin Owens turned their attention to Monday Night Raw.

It's an unfortunate place for Sami Zayn because the former NXT Champion has not held a single championship on the main roster, let alone the World Championship.

His last feud with Bobby Lashley did more harm to him than it did to the Dominator, and it certainly diminished all the momentum Zayn had when he made the transition to the red brand.

While he is currently recovering from the injury that sidelined him, one wonders whether he'll ever be a big deal in the company.

#6 Shinsuke Nakamura

One of the most disappointing aspects of WWE's decision-making process is the way they hand the Championship gold to some superstars.

While some superstars are bigger than the gold they claim, certain superstars are just awarded the championships because there's nothing significant planned for them and the title they are holding.

Something similar has transpired with Shinsuke Nakamura. His current United States Championship run is as irrelevant and disappointing as CM Punk's World Championship run in 2008.

The fact that it was Randy Orton's continuous interruptions that assisted the King of Strong Style in getting the job done against Jeff Hardy and Tye Dillinger speaks volumes.

The former NXT Champion has not received any substantial push on the main roster, and his run in 2018 is as directionless as Apollo Crews, which has made things worrying for the Japanese Sensation.

#7 Bobby Roode

Despite being a major name on the independent circuit, Bobby Roode's run on the main roster has been extremely disappointing.

The Glorious One has become an afterthought on Monday Night Raw and his latest partnership with Chad Gable is only diminishing his credentials.

Legions of WWE fans have given up on the idea of seeing the former NXT Champion anywhere near the main event picture, with stars like Braun Strowman, Drew Mcintyre, and Brock Lesnar ruling the red brand.

His SmackDown Live debut in 2017 was spectacular, but his character became completely stale in his feud with Randy Orton and Jinder Mahal.

Since there are very little chances of seeing Roode getting any significant opportunity anytime soon, Vince McMahon might never entertain the idea of pushing the Glorious One as a WWE Champion, until and unless Triple H takes over and changes the place.

#8 Asuka

Possibly one of the most dangerous female competitors to ever step foot inside the squared circle, Asuka's role on the main roster has been pretty depressing, to say the least.

Her match with Charlotte at WrestleMania 34 had all the ingredients of a classic, and while both the competitors brought everything to the table, the Queen ending Asuka's undefeated streak felt like a shocker.

In what could have been Asuka's coronation to the top of the industry as a dominant female competitor, everything went downhill for the Empress of Tomorrow after her loss at the Show of Shows.

It's pretty disappointing that Asuka has never held any women's championship on the main roster, and it definitely comes down to what Vince McMahon thinks of her.

She certainly doesn't possess the credentials on the microphone, but her personality is pretty eccentric for the company to not push her and make her feel like an afterthought.

#9 Finn Balor

Will Finn Balor ever become a Champion again?

Finn Balor's WWE career that started off pretty incredible is now beginning to feel a bit disappointing, especially after the feuds he has been involved in.

There's no denying that the company does everything in its power to make him feel relevant but they definitely do not have any major plans for the longest reigning NXT Champion.

His main roster debut felt really promising and the creative team definitely propelled him to unimaginable heights by making him the First-Ever Universal Champion.

However, his unfortunate injury in 2016 sidelined all the possibilities of seeing him in the main event picture again and his character work has become pretty stale, at this point.

While legions of WWE fans wanted him to win the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 34, Vince McMahon certainly had different plans in his mind.

It's a damn shame that despite being one of the most talented in-ring performers of this generation, Finn Balor has failed to make a name for himself under Mr. McMahon.
