I just don't see Damian Priest as a main event star. When I look at him and a few others, I wonder what people like Triple H see when there are so many other options on the roster. He's the quintessential create-a-wrestler, everything seems super forced both in the ring and on the mic. I look at him and wonder why Finn isn't in that position, who is infinitely more credible, marketable, and interesting.
Bronson Reed seems to be getting more attention - I remember the idea of him facing Reigns at EC since he is Australian, which didn't happen. He was featured on Raw after Mania main event (I believe he also had a bigger spot on last year's Raw after WM).
Also I don't see why Jey Uso is getting so many opportunities? He's basic in the ring, has proved to be a huge liability outside the ring (along with the twin), and has nothing unique to him, nothing special on the mic, just acting like a low-IQ idiot. He's only still on the roster because of his family I guess.
I look at the roster and see talented, hardworking guys like Chad Gable and Ricochet and think it's absolutely sinful for them not to be on the WM card. They've had some of the best televised performances the past few years and are constantly on the road for live events. Finn is so underutilized with the Demon character being a big merch-driver that is wasted opportunity. Him and Ricochet could be huge merch sellers and marketable to both kids and hardcore fans alike.

Ricochet has no personality, doesn’t know how to sell and can’t tell a story. He can put on an entertaining flippy match but that’s it. He’s not gonna tell the story Roman and Cody could.

Cody Rhodes. Everything about him is OTT. The pyro, the flashy attire, the constant crying and cringe promos. He's feels like a mid/upper carder trying so hard to fit in the main event.
Bianca Belair. Good in the ring but overbooked like crazy and the constant hair twirling is beyond annoying.
New Day. Were super fun back in the day, but how they still get pops is beyond me. Anytime their music hits I feel like changing the channel.
Ricochet. When you've seen one of his matches you've seen them all.
The single Uso's. They had their WM match so do what's best and put them back together. Neither are appealing as single wrestlers.
Brock Lesnar. Seriously why do people want him back? This is suppose to be a new era and part time Brock was stale and belongs in the past.
Johnny Gargano. Putting him back in DIY was best. As a single wrestler he was lame as hell and has zero personality.

I’ll say it, Gunther. He’s not bad but there’s really nothing about him that wows me. His top rope splash is laughable and his power bomb is absolutely terrible.
Becky. Couldn’t name a memorable match of hers, maybe the Last Woman Standing match? She also has the unique ability to make a top rope leg drop look less impressive than a regular standing one.
Ricochet. What can he do besides flips? I don’t know because that’s seemingly all he does.
Bianca. Good, not great.
Bayley. The only interesting thing I’ve seen her do is her feud with Michael Cole.
Johnny Gargano. He’s 4ft tall and his matches are just finisher spam.
Samantha Irvin. She fine for the most part but gets a bit over the top at times.

Cant believe they went with Damian Priest, it was only at Elimination Chamber he still looked green to me and sluggish. There was a notable botch at that ppv when he took a fall from the turnbuckle im sure someone remembers what the spot im talking about.

Gargano and Ciampa, Indi Hartwell, Apollo Crews, Andrade, Gallows and Anderson, AOP, Dragunov, Roxanne Perez, Lyra Valkyria, New Catch Republic, Naomi. Gargano and Ciampa were brilliant on NXT through the years especially the latter. Tyler Bates and Dunne from New Catch were equally as impressive in NXT UK.

Roman. Shane McMahon. Logan Paul. PAT HUGGING McAFEE.
I have been reminded that Waller and Theory are things. They need not be.

Damien priest imo he looks to old, skinny, fem, to be a main eventer.
Bayley this past WrestleMania was the second whole match I've ever watched of her & I wasn't impressed. She didn't do anything amazing. She wrestles like a woman wrestler from the 80s, which would be cool if that was her gimmick.
Cody. Everything about him is cringe to me. He stole the nickname from Dustin & the bleached hair from dusty. He looks like Joshi wrestler dynamite Kansai down to the robes. If you don't know her you should probably Google her. Why was he flexing his arms with triple h? Those looked like mosquito bites not muscles

Lex Luger. Just absolute bum. Didn’t take the title from Yokozuna at Summerslam and celebrated still. The first Royal Rumble winner to win a title shot at Wrestlemania and lose. Made a fool by Tatanka and the Million Dollar Corporation. Had a nothing tag team with Davey. Came out to help Diesel at Summerslam 95, only for Diesel to kick his ass, and he STILL kept trying to help. Statistically Truth looks more competent.

Dino Bravo even though not sure he ever had any appeal.
Ricochet like already said can flip around probably better than anyone on the roster but everything else boring.
Ziggler certainly a good talent just never saw him as the next Mr Perfect or HBK.
Sasha has put on good matches but seems even worse in the talking department in AEW vs WWE and that's saying something.
Ryback even when most liked him he was boring and Goldberg had better squashes.

To be fair, all of this is more of Vince's doing than Lugers.
