WWE is slowly entering into a new era and it is a great time to be a fan of the sports entertainment brand. WWE SmackDown made a glittery debut on FOX recently and the blue brand cannot be considered secondary anymore. The current SmackDown roster is loaded with superstars with big names like Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt, Sasha Banks and so many. SmackDown has a great roster but it has a time limit of two hours every week and it is difficult to give equal time to every wrestler. While the blue brand is stacked with big names and great wrestlers, there are some names that are getting sidelined. Let us have a look at those wrestlers who might get buried by SmackDown’s loaded roster.

WWE: Wrestlers who might fade away

Luke Harper

Luke is already disturbed by his current relationship with the WWE and it is surely evident on the television screen. He was recently threatened by top bosses over his controversial Twitter bio and the WWE star took the matter into the limelight by posting about in on social media. He has already requested the WWE over his release but according to reports, his contract is yet to end. Though he made a return a few days ago alongside his former Wyatt family team-mate Erick Rowan, the star has surely lost his prominence in the WWE.

Tamina

When we talk about modern-day women in wrestling, Tamina is undoubtedly one of the most feared women in the roster. It is quite strange that a veteran like her has never won a RAW Women’s Championship or SmackDown Women’s Championship and her only title-run has been the 24x7 Championship, which lasted a few minutes. Tamina is surely no more a prominent name in the WWE compared to her contemporaries like Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks. She is likely to lose her limelight more in this SmackDown roster.

Cesaro

The former United States Champion is surely a skilled wrestler but his mic-abilities are surely not great. In the Stone Cold Podcast, WWE CEO Vince McMahon has expressed his opinions about Cesaro’s disconnection and that received a lot of support from the fans. Cesaro is likely to lose his aura in the FOX era of SmackDown.

Dana Brooke

The star wrestler made her entry as an ally of Charlotte ‘The Queen’ Flair in WWE and fans claimed that she is just a supporting act to her. Despite her wrestling abilities, it seems that fans had predicted her future right. She has won only seven televised matches this year and only appears in main events. It is quite clear that she is not a regular roster face and is losing her ground due to so many options on the roster.
