10 WWE Superstars who didn't live up to fan expectations

#7 Mickie James

In her first run with the company, Mickie James was quite popular with the fans. She was booked strongly, and she was involved in some intriguing feuds. That makes me wonder: What happened this time?

Her position on the roster is almost forgettable. Is it because of her age or is it some other politics at play. The more I think about it, I realize that WWE stars who left WWE to go to TNA, and then returned to WWE have never been given any major push. Maybe this is the same reason why Mickie James’ role in WWE isn’t relevant.

Since her return to the company, I can’t think of anything noteworthy she has done. It would’ve been better if she had just ridden off into the sunset after her days in TNA. Now she has just become a joke, and that’s not funny at all.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
