The WWE and its top executives have all stated at one point in time that they try to listen to their audience (most recently Stephanie McMahon), but that certainly isn't always the case. However, for the most part, the WWE likes to give fans what they want to see, whether it be fan-favorite Superstars getting a chance to shine in the spotlight, or new and interesting feuds -- sometimes even fulfilling "dream matches" when we least expect them.
The WWE is a continuous sports entertainment soap opera of sorts, and the company is constantly fine tuning and changing storylines, characters, pushes and other aspects of their shows as they go along to keep things as intriguing as possible and to suit their fans wants and desires.
With that being said, the WWE is undoubtedly prone to making mistakes or overlooking possible ideas that would've been awesome by most standards, and as some of you are bound to know, Vince McMahon can be one stubborn individual -- just look at the booking of Roman Reigns for clarification on that notion. As well, WWE's creative can be quite puzzling at times, as some of their booking decisions and storyline ideas are downright dreadful. Today, we are going to be looking at 3 awesome ideas WWE refused to move ahead with.

#3 Turning John Cena Heel...
For the entirety of John Cena's career in World Wrestling Entertainment, "The Cenation Leader" always remained the babyface or face of the company. John feuded with all of the top heels in the business, and he never chose to join the "dark side" even if things were not in his favor. John Cena was undoubtedly a money making babyface for WWE, and he definitely was a superhero for many young fans hence why the company kept him a good guy for such a long period of time.
However, as time went on, fans were becoming rather tired of John Cena as a babyface, and many believed John Cena was in desperate need of a heel turn to spice things up and rejuvenate his somewhat stale career. John Cena is no longer the representative of the WWE (he hasn't been for a couple of years) nor is her their top merchandise seller, so it baffles many fans as to why the WWE have yet to make that character change for Cena. It's clear Vince will forever keep John the good guy...
#2 Going All Out With Braun Strowman...
Over the course of two years, "The Monster Among Men" Braun Strowman has come into his own as a Superstar in WWE, and he truly has all the tools required to be a consistent top star on Monday Night Raw -- he's huge, incredibly strong, agile for a man his size, has charisma, and is passable on the microphone. For a period of time, the WWE ran with Braun Strowman potentially becoming the companies next big thing, but it's clear the WWE have second guessed themselves as of late.
Despite being booked leaps and bounds above most Superstars on Raw, Braun has lost significant momentum lately due to the fact that he's unable to get the W when he needs it the most over the companies clear top two stars -- Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. Braun is no longer "Monster In The Bank", and while he is going to get another shot at the Universal Championship at the Super Show-Down against Reigns and Lesnar, it's doubtful Strowman will win the gold. The ship is sailing on Braun being a megastar for the WWE, and it's evident Vince is not going to be going all-out with Strowman in favor of Roman Reigns...
#1 Turning Roman Reigns Heel and aligning him with The Authors Of Pain...
Some fans love "The Big Dog" Roman Reigns, where as others may despise him, however, if there's one thing most of us can agree upon when it comes to the current Universal Champion, it's the fact that Roman is a naturally born heel -- Roman looks like a heel, acts like a heel, talks like a heel, and last but not least, dresses and wrestles like a badass heel. For whatever reason, Vince McMahon has forcefully positioned Roman as the companies top ranking face, and as all of you are clearly aware of, it has not went according to plan as Vince McMahon had originally anticipated.
Many fans have rallied against Roman Reigns as a babyface, but the WWE have continued with his babyface push regardless. While some believe Roman Reigns would've made for an awesome heel (potentially forming a new heel faction with The Authors Of Pain), the WWE's decision to morph Roman into the top babyface hasn't been all bad. Roman Reigns is now the WWE's top merchandise seller, and despite his critics, fans still tune in to see what Reigns does next. With that being said, Roman Reigns turning heel would've been well received by the hardcore WWE audience without question, and it also would've made for some exciting television even if the heel run was only temporary...
