4 Great WWE Wrestlers who need to improve their mic work

Gone are the days when only superior wrestling skills were required to be a top draw in the professional wrestling business. With rapidly changing times involving a lot of press interviews and media attention, performers have gradually learned and perfected the art of handling the microphone.

The trend, which Ric Flair made popular in WWE/F, has seen a plethora of wrestlers like The Miz, Alexa Bliss, and Carmella amongst others make up for their average in-ring skills with their astounding promo cutting skills.

On the other hand, there are even some performers who, despite being phenomenal inside the ring, have not been able to captivate the crowd with their words.

Here are four of them.

#4 Asuka

Asuka is one of the if not, the most talented female superstars in WWE today. At 914 days, the company billed her as having the "longest undefeated streak in history." Arguably the most technically gifted superstar on the roster, she will go down as one of the greatest female competitors of the decade.

The only reason Asuka has still not reached the pinnacle of women wrestling is her poor mic skills. Sure she's all charismatic, and her character work is outstanding but her weak promo cutting abilities are a huge hindrance to her push to the top.

Unlike Shinsuke Nakamura who has embraced his lack of English speaking as his strength, Asuka is still stuck at few words, and the only thing working for her is her intensity at delivering dialogues.

#3 Finn Balor

Finn Balor

The inaugural Universal Championship was already a huge star, as a part of Bullet Club, before coming to WWE. Finn Balor quickly rose to the ranks in NXT before making his highly anticipated debut on RAW. After a lot of ups and downs, Balor has found himself struggling in the mid-card status with no strong storyline as of late.

His weak booking has less to do with his in-ring work, which ranks one of the best on the roster, but his inability to get across his personality with his promos. If not for his Demon King gimmick, he would've failed to get "over" with the NXT crowd. His mic skills are just ordinary with no selling point. As charismatic as he is in the ring, his weak mic skills don't do justice to it.

A heel Balor with a stable similar to Evolution would be perfect. His promos in NJPW were great because the villainous gimmick gave him a lot of space to make his mic skills better.

#2 Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan is one of the best technical wrestlers of all times. From submissions to high-flying actions, Bryan has everything in his arsenal. Probably the most beloved wrestler today, he is easily the top babyface of SmackDown Live.

Though he generates huge pops everytime he enters the ring, Bryan is not the best at cutting promos. His lines come across as reading a script which is not very appealing. On sporadic occasions, he has had his moments on the microphone, but only so many. If not for the "YES!" chants, DB has little to offer when it comes to mic skills.

#1 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns

Make no mistake about it. Roman Reigns is an extremely talented performer who puts on great fights night after night. An underrated workhorse, Roman's botch ratio is among the least on the roster. The supposed poster boy of WWE "The Big Dog" has accomplished a lot on his relatively short career in WWE.

The only aspect where Reigns probably lacks is his promo cutting skills. Not the most versatile person the microphone, Roman has had his share of problems which are met with a mixed reception; some love him while others loathe him.

Roman Reigns is arguably the biggest draw of WWE today, and some improvement on the microphone will act as a validation to the statement.
