5 WWE stars who would be wasted spots in The Royal Rumble

There are a number of spots in The Royal Rumble next year that will just be considered "fillers"

#4 Apollo Crews

Apollo Crews has been wasted on the main roster

Apollo Crews will probably be chosen to represent The Titus Brand in The Royal Rumble next year since he is the better choice out of Titus O'Neal and Akira Tozawa. Crews made quite an impression when he was down in NXT, but he hasn't been able to continue that on the main roster.

Crews has been destroyed by Samoa Joe in recent weeks and it seems unlikely that he or Apollo will gain any credibility in the coming weeks ahead of the match. WWE has 30 slots to fill so it's obvious that they will call on a number of WWE stars who make up the core part of their roster, and it seems that Apollo could be one of the choices even though much like every other star on this list, he will only be there to make up the numbers and then be eliminated.
