5 things WWE should have done differently in 2021

#3 The aftermath of Drew Mcintyre's WWE title loss almost made the fans turn on their favorite superstar.

Drew McIntyre was the superstar who carried WWE in 2020. His WWE Championship reign was one of the greatest in history, as he emerged as a rare babyface champion that fans didn't turn on. WWE did a commendable job keeping his character fresh throughout his title reign.

But after losing his title, Drew was subjected to what fans call "The 2015 Roman Reigns" treatment. He was handed over rematches after rematches, which made the fans slightly dislike his character. His feud with Bobby Lashley grew stale in no time.

People wanted new faces to step up against the Almighty. But Drew McIntyre's push didn't allow that to happen. His character also took an odd turn, as fans couldn't relate to him anymore. People supported the Scottish Warrior who earned everything, not someone who got everything he wanted.

Luckily, WWE learned from their mistake and moved Drew over to Smackdown. A new environment has greatly benefited the former WWE Champ, as he is now able to reinvent his personality in a new way.

#2. The Happy Corbin storyline did not have an exciting pay off.

Baron Corbin is an incredible performer and does not get much credit from the fans. He's a versatile talent who has delivered on WWE's expectations every single time.

One of the biggest complaints that fans have about the superstar is the kind of characters he's been given to play. From Constable Corbin to the King, every Baron Corbin gimmick so far has felt outdated. Luckily, everything changed in July 2021 when Corbin ditched his Royal gimmick to don the character of a man who lost everything.

The depressed man gimmick proved to be the best work of Baron's career. It led to some hilarious and entertaining moments on the blue brand. All of a sudden, Corbin started getting involved with other top stars such as John Cena, Roman Reigns, and Kevin Owens. The new gimmick quickly made Corbin a fan favorite, allowing him to get the praise he deserves.

Fans were really excited to see where this whole story goes. It was finally revealed that Corbin got freedom from his miseries after he won a Jackpot in Las Vegas. This led to the birth of Happy Corbin, a rich and obnoxious heel who believes in being happy all the time. Sounds weird, right?

He was soon aligned with Madcap Moss. This alliance made the fans expect more intriguing stuff to happen. Unfortunately, WWE watered down Corbin's character by making it goofy and childish. The lack of credible opponents for this tag team further made matters worse. There was so much stuff WWE could have done with Corbin instead of making him just another heel.
