5 Current WWE Superstars who desperately need a new gimmick and 5 who don't

#4 WWE Superstar Big E (needs a new gimmick)

Big E

The recent exchange between Big E and The Miz on Talking Smack saw the former WWE Champion making it clear that The New Day member will have to "get serious" to have a successful singles run. Big E had his reasons for not changing his persona, but it seems like a major change would only help him in the long run.

Last year, Kofi Kingston was targeted by Vince McMahon on the road to WrestleMania, and his persona at the time gave off a serious vibe. He looked like the same Kofi who almost grabbed the brass ring while taking on Randy Orton back in 2009. The always-happy Kofi had turned into a ruthless guy who was hell-bent on destroying Orton. A slight change in his gimmick is bound to help Big E in his quest to have a successful singles run, just like it did with Kofi during his feud with Orton and on his journey to bag a WWE title shot at WrestleMania.

#3 WWE Superstar The Fiend (doesn't need a new gimmick)

The Fiend

When Bray Wyatt made his way to WWE RAW in 2013, many fans knew right away that he was here to stay for a long time. Somehow, WWE managed to ruin the gimmick, and he had to be repackaged in 2019. Wyatt's new persona of The Fiend came to WWE in mid-2019, and viciously attacked Finn Balor. Ever since then, Wyatt has taken out a bunch of WWE greats and is one of the most twisted entities in all of WWE.

His character fit perfectly well with WWE's direction during the pandemic, and his cinematic battles against John Cena and Braun Strowman received praise. The Fiend is currently a top Superstar on WWE SmackDown, and there's a lot we still haven't seen from him. Wyatt has finally found his footing and The Fiend is bound to remain an active gimmick for a long time to come.
