10 Popular Superstars That WWE has not done justice to

Let's be honest here.

While WWE has succeeded in creating several stars over the course of its storied history, it is also responsible for taking quite a few superstars and completely ruining them as well. Of course its not always WWE's fault, especially since a superstar's success is dependent on a variety of factors, there are other times when WWE played a role in it happening.

With that being said and WWE continuing to take top-tier talent and dropping the ball with them in favor of someone else, here are ten superstars that WWE has completely ruined! As always, let us know what you think in the comments below and tell us who you think WWE had a hand in ruining.

Only Sportskeeda gives you the latest Wrestling News, rumors and updates.

#10 The Miz

The Miz might be one of the best midcard heels that The WWE currently has. However, His accomplishments in the company are a far cry from what they could have been. While The Miz is a former WWE Champion, Intercontinental champion, tag team champion and United States Champion, the company has continued to misuse him since then.

Not only is that evident by the very rare occasions that The Miz gets even gets a sniff of the main title picture, but also by how much WWE uses him to elevate the midcard. In fact, The Miz has been used as a midcard champion so much over the course of the last couple of years, it is really hard for the company or fans to see him as anything else.

With that being said, The Miz is a master on the microphone, great at getting heat with fans and deserving of so much more then WWE has given him over the years. One would think that his position in the company would have gotten better since moving to Smackdown live to battle Daniel Bryan, but the company just continues to misuse him.

In the end, The Miz has the tools to be a great heel champion in the same way that Randy Orton, The Rock, Seth Rollins and several other stars were and are WWE continues to look stupid for not realizing that. Maybe that will change one day since Smackdown Live seems to be the land of experiments, but its still wishful thinking at best.

#9 Bayley

Believe it or not, WWE actually succeeded in ruining Baley. While The Hugger did start out promising enough by winning The Women's title in less than a year and defeating Charlotte, Jax and Sasha Banks to do so, she quickly lost the title to Alexa Bliss in the superstar shake up and things only went downhill from there.

Fast forward a year and Bayley is being counseled by Dr Shelby in backstage segments to repair her relationship with longtime friend, Sasha Banks. Not only is that a huge waste of time for both Banks and Bayley, it also shows exactly where both superstars stand in the company's pecking order.

In the end, WWE could quickly remedy this problem by making Bayley more aggressive or even showing a more diverse personality with her character, but WWE doesn't seem to want to invest the time in doing so and risk losing merchandise sales in the process. Unfortunately for Bayley, it looks like that means her downward spiral will continue.

#8 Naomi

Naomi does deserve a lot of credit for coming up with her current glow persona, especially since it is easily one of the best entrances in WWE today, but WWE doesn't seem to be doing a lot with it. In fact, Naomi continues to be relegated to the mid-card on Smackdown Live despite being one of the most popular babyfaces on the show.

With that being said, it is criminal for WWE to keep someone so athletic, personality-driven and inspiring down like they are doing with her. What makes it even worse is the fact that WWE had Naomi win The Women's Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34 and then did next to nothing with her afterward.

One would think that the win would have earned her a title opportunity, a blockbuster feud or at least a push, but WWE hasn't done any of it! In fact, they teamed her up with Asuka in a losing effort against The Iconics and has been using her sparsely in backstage segments and brawls since then.

In the end, Naomi brings so much more to the table than WWE is showing right now and is truly one of the most gifted personalities on Smackdown Live. , With that in mind, WWE continues to misuse her and its getting to the point where a few more key losses to midcard stars is going to ruin her completely if it hasn't already.

#7 Bray Wyatt

What can be said about Bray Wyatt that hasn't already?

Bray Wyatt and The Wyatt family made their highly anticipated debut in 2012 and while WWE originally put a lot of time and effort into the trio, They later became midcard fodder and continuously were on the receiving ends of beat downs. WWE tried everything to revive them, even breaking them up and putting them back together multiple times, but nothing worked!

WWE even added Bruan Strowman to The Family, which was supposed to be a way of breathing new life into Wyatt's family, but that' didn't really pan out either. Finally, much of The Family was broken up in The 2017 WWE draft, and Bray Wyatt was brought to Smackdown Live.

Wyatt did manage to win a WWE Championship during his time on the blue brand, which was a huge upswing for him, but he later dropped the belt to Orton at WrestleMania 33 and followed that up by losing a house of horrors match the very next month. Wyatt was later moved to Monday Night Raw in The Superstar shakeup where he remains today.

With that in mind, WWE just seems to have lost too much faith in Bray Wyatt as a top star and that's why he has been floundering in the midcard over the last couple of months.Bray Wyatt made the most of the opportunity by having an interesting feud with Woken Matt Hardy, and later going on to win the tag team titles with Hardy after being cast into the lake of reincarnation.

In the end, Wyatt has been the victim of a stop and start push for months now and while he is tag team champion right now, one has to wonder how much longer that will last with the overall staleness of the gimmick right now. In fact, they could soon drop it to one of the other top tag teams on Raw!

#6 Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows

Gallows and Anderson, WWE, — What should WWE do next with Gallows and Anderson?

Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows were never going to set the world on fire, but they deserved a lot better then what WWE has handed the duo so far . In fact, WWE seemed to have given up on the duo relatively early, especially since they were split up from AJ Styles and their lackluster title run didn't do them any favors either.

Of course, WWE did have some early success with Gallows and Anderson when they teamed him up with AJ Styles to reform The Club, but that was all destroyed when Styles was moved to Smackdown Live. Gallows and Anderson then went on to win The Tag team champions later that year, which would have been great if WWE knew what to do with them.

Unfortunately for WWE, they had lackluster feud after lackluster feud for months on Monday Night Raw before losing the titles to Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy at WrestleMania 34. The duo hasn't gotten many opportunities at the titles since that time and continued to be used as midcard fodder until being moved back to Smackdown Live in 2018.

Again, this team was never going to set the world on fire, but WWE had so much nostalgia to capitalize on with The Bullet Club and The Balor Club that they could have done so much better then this. In fact, Gallows and Anderson's time with Finn Balor as The Balor Club was particularly telling about easily WWE could ruin something so popular.

In the end, there is no way that anyone is going to take them seriously after their latest run in WWE and with how poorly they have been booked since coming to Smackdown Live, its obvious that they aren't going to be in the title picture anytime soon.

#5 Bobby Roode

Bobby Rhoode, — Wouldn't Bobby Roode as Universal Champion be Glorious?

How can WWE have already ruined Bobby Roode?

Let's start with the fact that he was a heel in NXT, but WWE brought him up to the main roster as a babyface. WWE followed that ridiculous decision up by putting Rhoode in feud with Dolph Zigler, which did more to expose Roode's flaws in the ring then to actually build him up as top face.

After winning his feud with Ziggler, Roode was given the opportunity to compete in The Seven on Seven Survivor Series match but was the second person eliminated Bruan Strowman. He later won a tournament to determine the new United States Champion, which fans thought was a step in the right direction for The Glorious One, but he was beaten by Randy Orton at the next pay per view and then lost again at WrestleMania 34.

WWE then made things even worse by moving Rhoode to The Raw brand, where he is continuously being shuffled backwards despite it being a three hour show. In the end, maybe this is one of those situations that WWE can turn around if the ring ideas were in play, but Rhoode isn't going to go anywhere as babyface and his main roster run proves it.

#4 Sami Zayn

While Sami Zayn didn't have the best start to his main roster career, especially since he suffered a shoulder injury before a match with John Cena, things only got worse upon his return to the company. With that being said, not only did WWE put him back on NXT first before returning him to the main roster, they also didn't give him a lot to work with when he got back up there.

Sure, WWE did give fans Sami Zayn versus Kevin Owens when he returned to the main roster, but that feud seemed to drag on forever and lose its intensity as it went on. WWE later put him in a feud with Chris Jericho, which he lost and then putting him up against Bruan Strowman in a series of matches.

Once Strowman and Zayn had their David versus Goliath feud on Raw, Strowman eliminated him in a battle royal to determine who would join Team Raw for the seven on Seven Survivor Series match against Smackdown Live. After losing that opportunity, Zayn was put back in a feud with Strowman after failing to capture The Intercontinental title from Dolph Ziggler at Road Block.

WWE did give Zayn a win against Strowman in a ten-minute survival match, but later had him lose to Strowman in a last man standing match on Monday Night Raw. After a few more months Zayn was traded to Smackdown Live again, where he would go on to become Kevin Owen's guardian angel.

In the end, Zayn is another example of start and stop pushes ruining a superstar and time on Smackdown Live is definitely indicative of that. Not only did WWE have Owens and Zayn fail to win The WWE Title from AJ Styles and lose their jobs on one occasion, they also had Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon foil their plans at every turn.

If nothing else, WWE could have done an experiment that would have actually worked and have Zayn and Owens compete as co champion, but they didn't pull the trigger on it. Unfortunately for the duo, that negatively affected them and the fans stock in them, which resulted in the pair being moved back to Raw without much fanfare.

#3 Asuka

The WWE Universe had high hopes for The Empress of Tomorrow.

Unfortunately for Asuka and her hoard of fans dying to see her streak continue on and eventually win a title in the process, neither of those things ended up happening. In fact, WWE had her take her first loss at WrestleMania 34 against Charlotte and she has not recovered from the loss at all.

WWE then decided to keep her off television for a week after WrestleMania and had her make the save for Charlotte and Naomi in a beat down with The Iconics. She later participated in a tag team match alongside Naomi, but the pair came up short in what would become Asuka's second loss.

As if all that wasn't bad enough, WWE put her in a feud with Carmella for The Smackdown Live women's title at Money In The Bank, which ended when James Ellsworth made a surprise return at the pay per view and costing Asuka the match. Asuka was finally put in a one on one match with James Ellsworth, but it ended with her getting attacked by Carmella.

In all honesty, this is one of the biggest dropped balls in WWE's history, especially when it comes to The Women's Revolution, and it should be treated as a black mark on the company's record.

#2 Shinsuke Nakamura

Another international star that could have taken The WWE storm was Shinsuke Nakamura, but WWE ended up dropping the ball on that too. It all started innocently enough with a midcard feud against Dolph Ziggler, which Nakamura won, but WWE then put him in a match against Jinder Mahal for The WWE title.

That's when things started to go downhill and resulted in The King Of Strong Style taking two straight losses at pay per views to The Modern Day Maharajah. While WWE did do their best to protect Nakamura by having the Singh Brother interfere in the matches, fans slowly started to lose faith in him.

But something amazing happened the next year when Nakamura threw Roman Reigns over the top rope to win The Royal Rumble and guarantee himself a title match at Wrestlemania 34. WWE even upped the ante by keeping The WWE Title on AJ Styles and allowing the two to have a dream match at WrestleMania 34.

Unfortunately for The WWE Universe, that's when all the good things stopped and WWE made a controversial decision by having Nakamura turn heel after losing To AJ Styles at WrestleMania 34. Nakamura would then go on to lose again in a rematch, which only hurt fans opinion of Nakamura more.

WWE did try to make it make it better by giving Nakamura a win and making the other two matches draws, but fans continued to lose interest in Nakamura as a top guy. Maybe that will change one day, or maybe Nakamura will leave for another stint in New Japan, but he is ruined in WWE right now!

#1 Roman Reigns

Where did WWE go wrong with Roman Reigns?

Let's start off with the fact that WWE pushed him as a singles star way too soon, which was apparent when he couldn't cut a decent promo, had trouble connecting to the crowd and didn't have much charisma. On top of that, WWE felt other stars deserved a push much more then Reigns did, and that only hurt him worse.

WWE tried, again and again, to put the title on Roman Reigns, but were met each time with boos and anger. WWE even had him defeat The Undertaker in the main event of WrestleMania 33,but that didn't work either. In fact, WWE had Reigns in the main event at several WrestleMania, and he had the same fan backlash each time.

With that being said, WWE has completely ruined Roman Reigns as a superstar and are always going to get flack every time they try to push him. Of course WWE seems to be cutting down on people that hate Reigns and slowly getting fans behind him, but it might be too little too late for something like that to work.

In the end, WWE seems to be trying to push Reigns as more of heel these days, which is a good idea and is actually very refreshing to watch. Unfortunately for Reigns, there are still too many fans against Reigns becoming the company's top guy that it will likely be a long time before WWE ever lets that happen.

And that's only if they can somehow manage to get fans behind him this time.
