4 WWE Superstars who were pushed too early

One of the many, many failures of the WWE

#3 Jason Jordon

Ente
Victim of a bad gimmick

Jason Jordan was the victim of such a bad gimmick that even his great in-ring presence and wrestling skills couldn’t earn him the support of the crowd.

After American Alpha was broken up due to the Superstar Shakeup, both Jason Jordan and Chad Gable started their singles career on Raw and SmackDown Live respectively. After spending some time competing in meaningless singles matches, Jordan was decided to be next in line for a push. On the July 17, 2017, edition of Monday Night Raw, he was revealed to be Kurt Angle's kayfabe son in arguably one of the worst booking decisions of this decade.

Jason Jordan is a great wrestler, but his 'whiny son' gimmick hit a lot of people the wrong way. Due to his certain lack of experience, he was not able to handle the situation. He could have performed well on the mic but the 'unexpected' reactions of the crowd pulled out the rug from under him.

Had he been pushed slowly instead of putting him against established wrestlers, he could have tried better to turn the tables around. Instead of interacting with the top-tier of WWE Superstars, he should have started his singles career in the mid-card. He still has time to work on his skills as he has been sidelined due to injury and can return with more experience.

Watch the crowd's reaction to Jason in the below clip. It will tell you the whole story.
