Over the span of WWE history, we've seen the WWE company get immovably behind a wrestler, surprise him on the off chance that he isn't the material they were searching to make him the face of the company. Names like Vladimir Kozlov, Wade Barrett, Lord Tensai and The Great Khali all ended up working on the Championship line, just to topple down the card after an exceptionally small run as Champions.
What's really unpredictable is the fact that, the wrestler competing in upper-card matches today, can be toppled down at the base the next day. And WWE Universe has seen plenty of WWE superstars who go through this time and again. Well, one can only hope that WWE stops their relentless Roman Reigns push which has in a way affected the careers of these wrestlers. But it's been 4 years since Roman Reigns push and it doesn't feel like it's ending anytime soon.
Here are five WWE stars who will never be pushed back to the statures they were once at.
Jinder Mahal
It's a dependable fact that Mahal's was specifically integrated with WWE's rampant push to grow its business in India but the sad part is that, it didn't achieve that objective. The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer has noticed that Mahal's dull reign didn't move the needle in the US or in India.
Mahal has since assumed a lower priority after his turn to Raw, becoming someone who spreads peace through Yoga. This comes after Mahal was pitted against Roman Reigns only to fill the segment for The Big Dog in Lesner's absence. Mahal has since been at the lower-card for RAW. Mahal's rampant growth a year back did no good for anybody, and WWE has in a way forgotten that they had Mahal as the Champion. And someone who defeated Nakamura and Randy Orton numerous times to retain it.
Shinsuke Nakamura
Shinsuke Nakamura isn't the lethal force who dominated NJPW and had a spectacular run in NXT anymore. Shinsuke Nakamura is like a low-card wrestler in SmackDown brand right now who might not even be defending his US Championship belt at Hell in a Cell. After Nakamura's heel turn which was spectacular at first, WWE has failed miserably to capitalize on the Japanese Rockstar. Even in the US Title feud, he never looked dominant enough with his bookings in front of Jeff Hardy and Randy Orton. In the 11th September episode of SmackDown as well, Nakamura was used to take the feud between Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy forward despite being the US Champion.
Bobby Roode
Bobby Roode was the biggest sensation at NXT during his time. I don't know what must have transpired when WWE decided to turn their best heel of NXT into a babyface at the Blue Brand. After a shit US Title run, Bobby Roode hasn't seen good days. During the superstar shake-up, when Bobby Roode was drafted to RAW, WWE universe must have thought that things will get better for the TNA legend. But ever since coming to RAW, Roode has been left as a low-card wrestler without any storyline. His recent comical stint with Chad Gable as Tag-Team partners looks another version of B Team.
