5 things that the WWE Universe misses desperately

The WWE is going just fine. With some engaging storylines, it's catching everyone's eyes. The viewership may have gone down but that does not tell anything about the quality of matches and the storylines that we get to see.

Right from The Shield vs Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre to the breaking of Rusev Day, everyone has a reason to watch Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live. I personally look forward to Raw because it has a bigger roster and there is plenty of scope for good storylines. Make no mistake, I am loving Styles vs Joe at the moment. It is sort of taking us back to the Attitude Era.

In spite of all this, as a fan, I can say that the WWE Universe desperately misses a few things. Let's have a look at 5 of them.

---

#5 Those personal and intense rivalries

Joe vs Styles is one of the best rivalries currently.

Although we have started seeing this now, during the Attitude Era we used to witness much larger and intense rivalries on a personal scale. With superstars invading each other's house and insulting them big time, it used to be engaging. Samoa Joe and AJ Styles are taking us back in time. We desperately missed those days.

Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Kurt Angle were all part of the Attitude Era and they made their presence felt. The McMahons started gaining popularity too and Shane O'Mac in particular, became a fan favorite. The question is, who doesn't miss the WWE Attitude Era?

#4 The Deadman wrestling frequently

The Deadman

The Undertaker is a legend of WWE and arguably, one of the best that the company has ever produced. The WWE Universe loves him way too much and waits desperately for his matches. With age having a mighty effect on his strength and agility, the Deadman is expected to hang up his boots after one final match perhaps, against Triple H.

His days in the squared circle have started running down and this is a disappointing thing for a majority of us. The Undertaker's character is one legendary portrayal. It hasn't failed to impress anyone and his mic skills are beyond praise. The WWE Universe is actually silent when he's on the mic and that shows the type of impact he has had over the years. We desperately miss you, Deadman!

#3 Chris Jericho's promos

The most entertaining superstar in recent times.

Some might argue about this, but before you do it just hear me out. Jericho is one the best in the best in the company when it comes to using the microphone. Although not old, we all enjoyed the List of Jericho, didn't we? I desperately want it back. Chris's signature lines and his list are desperately missed. He was humorous even though he was one of the best wrestlers ever.

Ask him to portray a heel character, he'll do it. Ask him to portray himself as a face, he will do that too. Jericho has a versatile personality which everyone misses and that was his key, which helped him succeed in any role that he played. Come back, Chris!

#2 Heel Rock

The best heel WWE has ever produced.

Dwayne Johnson was the best heel produced by Vince. His in-ring and microphone skills are equally lovable. The rock is a perfect heel one could ask for. He was a face originally and his career wasn't taking off as expected. That's when Vince decided to weave his magic.

He turned The Rock into a heel and the results are very much visible. It's almost as if we all are pleading him for one final match and rightly so. Dwayne gave us some of the best episodes ever.

#1 CM Punk's unpredictability

The most lovable controversial superstar, CM Punk.

The voice of the voiceless, the best on the mic and a fan favorite, CM Punk is dearly missed. He had many fallouts with Jericho because he went off script a bit too many times, something that the WWE Universe enjoyed a lot. His pipe bomb promo back in 2011 is still one of the best ever in WWE.

His wrestling skills were way too good to be criticized and needless to say, his matches and feuds were interesting as well as intense. Punk vs Cena is still one of the best feuds ever and Punk being a heel, was cheered over Cena. That was the type of impact he had on the WWE Universe.

It would have been a sin if I hadn't mentioned his name in this list. Love him or hate him, you want CM Punk back. Even though your return looks improbable, we are still waiting for your music to hit our ears.
