5 Talented Superstars who WWE are totally underutilizing right now

Since the wildcard rule was introduced post-WrestleMania, a lot of talented WWE Superstars have barely gotten time on television with Roman Reigns, Shane McMahon and others regularly taking up television time on both shows. This has reportedly left a number of Superstars disgruntled, including some like Cedric Alexander hinting at being unhappy with their positions on Twitter.

With that, we thought we'd take a look at 5 talented stars who WWE have totally wasted recently. Let's hope they used these Superstars better in the future.

Honourable mentions

First up in the honorable mentions is Luke Harper. We can't call Luke Harper underutilized because he isn't being utilized at all since asking for his release from the company. Instead of being an upper card monster, WWE has just wasted a top talent. When his contract runs out, he's definitely going to be a big star in another promotion.

Sasha Banks is another Superstar who isn't being used right now but this is more because of issues between Banks and WWE rather then her being underutilized.

#5 Chad Gable

Chad Gable is one of the most talented up and coming wrestlers WWE have, from an in-ring point of view. WWE dropped the ball on Gable and Jordan, who looked all set to be a top tag-team, by splitting them up when Jason Jordan moved to RAW in the ill-fated angle where he was revealed to be Kurt Angle's son.

Gable and Jack Gallagher tore the house down on 205 Live last night, with Gable once again showing how good he is. He just needs WWE to give him a push and have some faith in him. The guy has top babyface written all over him.

#4 Cedric Alexander

The former Cruiserweight Champion has done nothing since WrestleMania, unless you count goofy spots in the 24/7 title segments. He did feature in the main-event of RAW last week when he teamed up with Roman Reigns while under a mask to face Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre.

Even though, McIntyre pinned him, Cedric showed us why he was the top guy on 205 Live and needs more match time on RAW.

#3 Buddy Murphy

Murphy and Tony Nese at WrestleMania

Buddy Murphy is WWE's Best Kept Secret and if the company keep on underutilizing him in the way they are, it will stay that way. The former Cruiserweight Champion has barely gotten any television time on SmackDown since moving to the blue brand following WrestleMania thanks to the Wildcard Rule.

Murphy is an exciting talent who's shown what he brings to the table during his time on 205 Live. He deserves a lot better than what he's getting right now.

#2 EC3

EC3 has done nothing on the main roster

There's nothing that needs to be said about EC3's situation than can be seen in plain sight. He's just been jobbed out on the main roster. The reason? Apparently it's because he was facing Dean Ambrose at Live Events before he left and Vince was upset that despite being the heel, Ambrose got cheered.

#1 Asuka

Asuka

It's almost easy to forget now that Asuka's unbeaten streak is actually longer than Goldberg's with the way WWE has totally dropped the ball on her on the main roster. She was a force to be reckoned with in NXT and when she was first called up to main, some who just brushed aside anyone opposing her.

Things started off okay as Asuka won the first-ever Women's Royal Rumble match but it didn't take long for it to go wrong. Since her loss to Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 34, Asuka hasn't really been used well.

She won the SmackDown Women's Championship last year but lost it so Charlotte Flair soo after. Since then, she's formed the Kabuki Warriors with Kairi Sane but the team was barely featured. It now looks like the duo could be in line for a title shot against The IIconics at SummerSlam. However, Asuka should be a singles star. She's too good for the role WWE seem to have pegged for her.
