10 WWE superstars who were pushed too soon

8. Mr. Kennedy

Mr. Kennedy was set to become the next megastar in WWE. He had some really great mic skills and at one point, he defeated 5 former world champions making him Smackdown’s fastest rising star.

But a lot of substance abuse scandals and backstage heat with Randy Orton quickly led to his dismissal from the company.

WWE could’ve just given him another chance since he showed great potential, but instead, they decided to discard him and move on.

Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.

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.
