Five Underrated and Underutlised Female WWE Superstars Today
Over the last few years, Wrestling fans truly have bear witnessed to an evolution in the world of women’s wrestling. The current WWE Women’s
division is more stacked than ever before, and we are forever seeing female
talent not only standout but steal the show. With that being said, however,
there are several women most certainly going underrated and underutilised and
in today's blog post we are going to be focusing on some of those female talents.

Isla Dawn
Throughout today's blog post we are going to be looking at
several female stars of the NXT UK roster and the first of the bunch is of
course Isla Dawn. Now, I’ll be honest, before her arrival in the WWE I wasn’t
all too familiar with Isla’s work, however, throughout the past few months its
become clear Dawn is a vital part of the NXT UK Women’s division working brilliant
bouts against the likes of Kay Lee Ray, Jinny and Rhea Ripley however, with all
these names appearing to receive the bigger push and clearly more popular
amongst fans, Dawn has struggled to gain fan attention, popularity and momentum.
Each performance has been strong from Isla with her experience and brilliant
wrestling ability clearly on show, however, her key issue has been the booking
of other female talents on the roster who have taken a great deal of the
spotlight. Isla is a very smart and interesting wrestling with an entertaining character,
so I truly do hope we get to see more of her soon!
Ruby Riott
Another huge name the WWE have been failing massively among
the women’s division is Ruby Riott. Upon signing with the company Riott had
spent many years working the indies scene and building a name and reputation
for herself. Anyone aware of her work prior to the WWE will most certainly know
that Riott has been underutilised since her arrival and it really is a shame.
Riott’s striking look allows her to stand out amongst the division but it's vital
the WWE finally give her more in ring time giving her the chance to show just
how exciting of an in-ring performer she really is and while being apart of the
Riott Squad may have held her back she now has a chance to make an impact as a
singles star and kick start the career she truly deserves. It must also be
noted that the WWE truly did waste many opportunities with the Riott Squad which
could have changed her position on the roster today completely!
Sarah Logan
Speaking of the Riott Squad, arguably the quietest and forgotten
about member of the team, Sarah Logan is up next in today’s blog post. Now, I have
spoken about Logan here on my blog several times before highlighting just how
underrated she really is and looking back at her career prior to the WWE. Ahead
of signing, Logan had worked as Crazy Mary Dobson across the indie’s scene working
and competing for promotions across the globe including hardcore bouts over in
ICW. Dobson stood out for her strong character work and entertaining wrestling
bouts, however, since arriving in the WWE Logan hasn’t been given the chance to
show fans her skill at this level and instead has become extremely forgettable.
There were of course so many options in terms of how to book Sarah in a fun and
creative way that would grab fan attention but the lack of focus on her by the
company has been massively damaging and will be very difficult to turn around. If
you are unfamiliar with Logan’s work prior to the WWE I most certainly advise
that you check it out.
Ember Moon
Unlike some of the names we have and will be talking about
today, Ember Moon is most certainly considered popular amongst the WWE
Universe. Her run over in NXT as well as her performances in battle Royals and
singles bouts have left fans wanting to see more of her and hope for a big push
to be on the horizon, however, it appears to be a push fans will be waiting a
long time for! Moon has had the chance to steal the spotlight and she has taken
it and the WWE Universe have shown this is a woman they are pulling for but
again the lack of exposer and seeing so many other women given the spotlight
has left Moon struggling for a while now! Ember is hands down one of the most
athletic and gifted in-ring performers in the division today and moving forward
the best thing the WWE can do for and with her is give Ember the time to show
what she can do. Put her in the ring with women she can work huge matches with
such as Charlotte Flair and give her longer in-ring time and it's clear she will
make a huge impact with potential to become a major talent amongst the division
and future champion.
Aliyah
And the final name I want to talk about today is Aliyah. The
youngest woman on this list today, Aliyah is an NXT Star fans are still not
talking about very much at all, however, her recent alliance with Venessa Borne
has opened up new opportunities and set her off on a path with great potential.
For years now, the WWE has been trying out different things for Aliyah
including several character changes and finally, it appears as though the company may be onto something that works. Now, in all fairness, it is hard to
judge Aliyah simply because we haven’t seen much of her at all but I have to
admit that what I have seen of her over the years has actually impressed me. She
may not be the best wrestler in the world but it's clear she has great form, strong
and impressive delivery and the years she has spent in developmental have left
her really understanding how things work. There is still so much left to see of
Aliyah and I really do believe that the more we see of her the more she is likely
to impressive fans.
And that is my little list! There were, of course, other names
I wanted to mention today but the goal really was to include women we don’t get
to watch and talk about very much! As always, I would love to know what you
guys think so leave a comment below or tweet me over @TezangiVictoria telling
me who you would have included in this list.
