WWE Needs to Fix Their Overly Stacked Roster

Image result for wwe roster greatest royal rumble

The heading to this post seems contradictory because one would think that an majorly stacked roster is good for business. In a way yes, it is good for business, however, there are reasons that it is not. Here are some of those reasons.

Talent does not make it to pay-per-view shows
There are over 35 Superstars that should have been on the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view this past Sunday but were for no reason at all...were missing. Whatculture did a list of 25 superstars. Whether you think of 25, 35, or 50…the truth is that there are too many Superstars that did not make it to the pay-per-view this past weekend.
Talent becomes dissatisfied because they do not make it to the pay-per-view
Former Universal Champions Kevin Owens and Finn Balor did not make the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view. Former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal and Former WWE and current United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura did not make it to the pay-per-view this past Sunday. Two-time SmackDown women’s champion Naomi, Royal Rumble Winner Asuka and former Women’s Champion Carmella did not make it to the pay-per-view either. Oh, and the returning Nikki Bella who is supposed to headline Evolution did not make it to the Hell in the Cell pay-per-view because I guess it is not important to build up her strength on the main roster or reassert her presence in the WWE? Oh, and don’t forget former tag-team champions the Bar and the Usos were absent from Hell in a Cell as well.

Now, of course, a good chunk of the aforementioned talent will likely not leave the WWE. However, the truth is now more then ever...that is not certain. Cody and Brandi have shown that couples can go to the Indys and reinvigorate themselves into wrestling phenomena. Imagine if the Usos and Naomi entered the independent scene with Naomi as their manager. That would be ABSOLUTELY GOLDEN! Fans would love to see the personas the trio can take on with more creative control and exposure. Remember when made the SmackDown women's championship glow and the fans went crazy for it! Exactly! The positive remarks surrounding the belt overshadowed any discipline the WWE planned on handing down to Naomi. 

Imagine the Usos w/ Naomi vs. the Young Bucks…tag-team magic.
Solution
      The WWE needs to figure out a way to incorporate their entire roster so they can retain their talent. The list of Superstars left off of Hell in the Cell can have their own separate pay-per-view. Perhaps the WWE can keep combined brand pay-per-views but showcase different feuds on different cards to keep all talent working. Maybe they can reinvigorate ECW or WCW to give a true battle of the companies feel. This can ensure that more talent gets a chance to shine. It is difficult, but this is the result of WWE gobbling up talent so they are not on the independent scene. WWE has enough inactive and underutilized talent to create an entire separate wrestling promotion. The brand split is a start, but they need something more. The answer may be regular all women and regular all men pay-per-views. Maybe one each month. That may help get more talent seen.

      This is a topic that needs a lot of brainstorming, however, something needs to be rectified because WWE will soon lose talent the same way the lost Cody and Neville. The WWE’s roster has so many superb performers that can thrive in the Indys…they need to give them all of their shine before it’s too late. Plus…they can afford it.

The Undertaker vs. Triple H - WWE Super Show-Down Results and Grades #SSD #WWE

HBK came down to the ring first. The fans clamored to get pictures of HBK...to be honest I would be too. Shawn is still in great shape, now he is the heartbreak grandpa. HHH came out next with a mask on but without the fanfare I expected. He came to the ring pretty fast and it was a pretty basic HHH entrance. He does have new ring gear which is nice. The Melbourne crowd loved HHH. Kane then came to the ring. I love how his name shows up when he walks to the ring it's pretty cool. The Undertaker's entrance of course was epic. All you saw were phones everywhere as fans attempted to snap pictures of the Deadman. The Undertaker looked great in his entrance and brought presence and prestige to the night. (Except for the gray on the sides...Undertaker I never want to see a another gray hair on your head). Fans complain about the older wrestlers taking the spotlight but the Undertaker's presence gives a PPV that extra push that makes it a classic. The match was no disq...

The New Day vs. The Bar - WWE Super Show-Down Results and Grades #SSD #WWE

The show opened up surprisingly with the SmackDown Tag Team Championship title match. This is the second time the SmackDown Tag Team Championship has been the show opener. They were on the pre-show last PPV which technically is a dark match but it was still the first match the fans saw of the night. I am not sure what this means, perhaps the WWE just wants the New Day opening up their PPV's from now on. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods as a pairing is just amazing. Their intro tag team sequence was absolutely lightening. Both of them are so coordinated and agile. Kofi shows why he is one of the best tag team champions of all time. Really great showing by these two. Sheamus and Cesaro are good but honestly not as good as Kingston and Woods. At least not as a tag team. However, they play to their strengths which is power, heel tactics and viciousness.  Of course, anyone that uses the Sharp Shooter is near and dear to my heart. I am sure that is homage to Cesaro's friend Tyson...

WWE Super Show-Down Predictions #WWE #SuperShowDown

WWE Super Show-Down will take place in Australia this weekend. While many say that it is a glorified house show, I do not think it is. I think the WWE will use this show to lay the groundwork for Evolution, Crown Jewel, and Survivor Series while simultaneously building bigger storylines. For instance, there are rumors of Kurt Angle's return and Asuka and Dean Ambrose's heel turn. Bobby Lashley and John Cena vs. Elias and Kevin Owens This is an easy match to predict. Cena and Lashley will get the win here. This will likely be the show opener so John Cena can give a big speech welcoming the crowd and exciting them for the night's matches. This will be clear-cut and simple. Delighting the Australian fans while also showing Cena's dominance in his return.  Cedric Alexander vs. Buddy Murphy  WWE Cruiserweight Championship  This match is the biggest toss up on the card. While many fans criticize WWE Super Show-Down as a glorified house show; the WWE ...
