Top Ten Most Disliked WWE Superstars Of 2018

DISCLAIMER: The views of the writer do not reflect the views of Sportskeeda

Some superstars are just disliked.

That might sound a little mean, but it is also a word that adequately describes the WWE Universe's feelings towards particular WWE superstars. Of course, a fan can dislike a superstar for various reasons and some might be valid while others are not, but there is just something that these superstars do that gets under fans' skin.

Interestingly enough, 2018 was filled with characters that the WWE Universe absolutely disliked and while some of them were heels that the fans were not supposed to like, others were babyfaces that just never did an effective job of relating to the audience. Either way, here are the top ten most disliked WWE Superstars of 2018

Again, some of these picks will be heels just doing their job to absolute perfection and others will be examples of stars that couldn't win their way into fans' good graces if they tried. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to let us know who you should be the most unlikable Superstar of 2018

#10 Jason Jordan

Jason Jordan just had a special talent for making fans hate him during his time on Raw.

While the WWE Universe might feel sympathetic towards Jason Jordan after he suffered a career-ending neck injury in January, fans had absolutely no love for the man before that. In fact, between his constant whining, the way he would kiss up to his on-screen dad and his lackluster personality, fans couldn't wait to see Jordan get exposed as a daddy's boy.

Unfortunately, that never happened, and Jordan ended up being written off television after suffering the neck injury. He would later return to WWE as a backstage producer, but he will most likely never step into the ring again. Beyond that, he will most likely never be involved in an on-screen role again, which means his storyline will likely never be resolved.

#9 Daniel Bryan

Believe it or not, almost everyone hates Daniel Bryan now!

Daniel Bryan becoming a heel was one of the biggest surprises of 2018 and while some fans still fight to try to keep 'The Yes Movement' alive, it's becoming harder and harder to do so! Furthermore, his talk about climate change is a real world issue that a lot of fans don't want to be lectured about and him doing so is only going to make them angry

Between that and Daniel Bryan constantly calling his fans fickle, it's no surprise why the WWE universe is starting to fall into the trap of disliking him. Bryan has also started cheating to win matches and ambushing opponents after matches, which has only caused more fans to turn their back on the once fan favorite.

In the end, Bryan turning heel marked a huge change in the man's career and WWE seems intent on keeping it going for a while. If nothing else, it will be interesting to see how it all plays out and who ultimately beats him for the WWE title.

#8 Sasha Banks and Bayley

Are you starting to dislike Sasha Banks and Bayley too?

Whether some of the younger fans want to admit it or not, one dimensional is the only word that can be used to describe both Sasha Banks and Bayley at this point in their careers. Maybe its due to the fact that not a lot has been done with them lately or maybe they just don't have the kind of personalities that fans are interested in, but they just aren't very fleshed out any more

In fact, their characters seem almost hokey on the main roster and while Sasha Banks has a bit of an edge to her, Bayley does not. Beyond that, Bayley is the embodiment of a PG friendly women's character that doesn't seem to mix well with today's women's revolution. Furthermore, she kind of holds The Women's revolution back in a lot of ways.

Think about it! Bayley is a one-dimensional character geared towards kids and merchandise sales when the time calls for it. Of course, WWE did a good job of covering this up in the past and tried to build her as a legitimate underdog, but her lack of uniqueness just shined through after a while.

As for Banks, she isn't in the exact same situation as Bayley, but her character isn't that fleshed out either and her time in the mid-card has stripped away much of the prestige she used to have. In the end, fans don't have a lot to get behind anymore when it comes to Bayley and Banks, which is sad considering the stars they once were.

#7 Roman Reigns

Remember when everyone hated Roman Reigns for awhile?

Admit it.

Roman Reigns was one of the most disliked superstars in WWE before his leukemia announcement in late 2018 and it was only after he stepped away from the company to recover that fans actually started getting behind him. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, but fans should remember that there was a time when Reigns wasn't so beloved.

In all honesty, whether it was due to him always being booked strong or because of his multiple stints in the title picture, there was just something about Reigns that rubbed fans the wrong way. Beyond that, his promo skills were sometimes so disenchanting that it was impossible to believe in the words he was saying.

In the end, Reigns will definitely get a hero's welcome, if and when, he finally returns to The WWE and that's a great thing. In fact, it's well deserved for a man that has been through the ringer in both his personal life and his career. With that being said, it is still insanely interesting how Reigns has transitioned from disliked top star to a beloved underdog.

#6 Carmella

Funny how Carmella goes from absolutely hated to beloved in a matter of months.

Wrong place, wrong time.

That's was pretty much the reason why Carmella was so disliked by The WWE Universe in 2018, but her diva-like persona didn't make things much better either. Carmella also beat Charlotte Flair for the title and then successfully defended the title against Asuka twice, which only rubbed fans the wrong way further.

Beyond that, she was paired with James Ellsworth for much of her run with the title and he only served to muddy things up even more Not only was that evident by how they used him to help Carmella retain the title on multiple occasions, but also by how lackluster the women's division was at that time.

In the end, Carmella defined herself as a diva in a women's era and that just wasn't a good look for The WWE. Of course, Carmella has now become a fan favorite with her dance break gimmick and even teamed up with R-Truth to win the WWE Mixed Match Challenge, but it wasn't too long ago that she was showered in a chorus of boos every night.

#5 The Miz

It's pretty obvious why everyone hates The Miz.

Whether fans want to admit it or not, The Miz is one of the best heels in all of WWE. He is also one of the most unlikable characters in the company and a lot of that has to do with how good he is at his job. In fact, between his loud mouth, his love of showing off and his constant cheating, it's almost impossible not to have your blood boil when watching him.

Interestingly enough, The WWE seems to be preparing The Miz for a run as a babyface, which could result in an opportunity at Daniel Bryan's WWE title. With that being said, The Miz has been a heel for most of the 2018 calendar year and has done some pretty mean things throughout that time, thus the reason why he is on this list.

In the end, his worst moment had to be when he received brass knuckles from his wife during a Summerslam match against Daniel Bryan and used the foreign object to beat him. Of course, Daniel Bryan would get his revenge later with a roll-up victory over The Miz, but that singular action from The Miz at Summerslam really got fans angry!

#4 Dean Ambrose

Can Dean Ambrose ever be forgiven for what he did?

Let's be honest here.

Dean Ambrose became one of the most disliked characters in WWE history when he turned heel and attacked Seth Rollins after they won a tag team match on Raw. The move was even more surprising due to the fact that the turn came only hours after Roman Reigns, announced that his leukemia had returned.

Unfortunately for WWE and Ambrose, things only got worse from there and The Lunatic Fringe actually admitted during a promo that he thought Reigns deserved to get cancer. Not only did this strike a lot of fans the wrong way because of how close The Shield was to each other, but also by the real-life battle Reigns was going through at the time.

If not else, it hurt a lot of fans and soured their opinion of Ambrose for at least the foreseeable future. Beyond that, it was a moment that kind of went too far and made light of Reign's real life or death battle with cancer. Either way though, it made Ambrose one of the most unlikable superstars in WWE and it was shocking to watch him do that.

#3 Nia Jax

And with one punch, Nia Jax became one of the most hated superstars in WWE today!

Isn't it funny how one stray punch changes everything?

In all honesty, Nia Jax was never really liked that much during her run as Raw Women's champion, but that was nothing compared to the dislike that would come her way after injuring Becky Lynch. Sure, Jax had accidentally injured other superstars in the past, but this incident just so happened to be a week before Lynch's blockbuster match with Ronda Rousey.

Unfortunately for Lynch and Jax, the injury forced the company to cancel the blockbuster match between Rousey and Lynch, which fans responded to by showering 'The Irresistible Force' with boos during her appearance at Survivor Series. They continued to boo her the next night on Raw and were very unhappy that WWE decided to go through with giving her a women's title shot after the incident.

In the end, Jax is likely out of the title picture after suffering a clean loss to Ronda Rousey at The TLC pay per view, but that doesn't take away from the anger that Jax stirred up inside fans with her actions against Becky Lynch.

#2 Baron Corbin

Baron Corbin.

Just the name itself can bring out a loud chorus of boos from the WWE universe and that is for a very good reason! In fact, between how he weaseled his way into the general manager role on Raw, how he treated popular superstars during his reign and how he screwed over countless others, this is truly a man that deserves a spot here.

But that's not the only reason why Corbin belongs here. He also deserves this spot due to his naturally 'heelish' nature on the microphone and the way he just oozes venom in everything he says. Furthermore, his small jokes about Finn Balor and other similar superstars were enough to get a lot of fans blood boiling.

To be completely honest, Baron Corbin had a very eventful year in 2018. With that being said, however, he arguably was too heelish for his own good and is now stuck in a spot where he will continue to fall down the card until WWE finds something to do with him. Whether they do or not remains to be seen, but after three straight losses, it's not looking good for him.

#1 Brock Lesnar

Is Brock Lesnar the most hated part-time champion of all time?

Isn't it obvious?

The only reason Brock Lesnar is disliked as much as he is right now and has been for a long time is due to the fact that he is a part-time champion. Beyond that, WWE kept The Universal Championship on him for a whole calendar year and then had him win the belt back at Crown Jewel due to Reigns's sudden illness.

If nothing else, Crown Jewel was supposed to be a crowning moment for Braun Strowman and a chance for WWE to really crack the universal title division wide open, but it ended up being another title victory for Brock Lesnar. It also pretty much guaranteed that the title wouldn't be featured on television, which only had fans even more upset.

In the end, the WWE universe wants a fighting champion and Brock Lesnar just isn't that. He also probably never will be, which means WWE needs to take the title off of him as soon as possible. Fortunately, the company is starting to listen to the fans again, which could mean that the belt changes hands sooner rather than later!
