5 top WWE Superstars whose push lasted less than a year

#1. Bray Wyatt (2016-2017)

Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt was always a superstar whose character was his strongest suit. He was so good at it that fans found it hard to boo him despite being a heel most of the time. However, the problem always seemed to be that he would gain momentum - all up until a big match against a big superstar - where he would end up losing.

The term for such a role is that of a "Jobber to the stars" and that seemed to be the case until the summer of 2016, where he was drafted to SmackDown and was pinned only once in August before going on a rampage leading into 2017. He was pushed and protected and had a surprisingly good storyline with Randy Orton - an alliance that lasted him until WrestleMania season.

However, the most notable moment of that run was his fantastic WWE Championship win at Elimination Chamber 2017, where it seemed as though all the wrongs had been corrected by WWE.

However, his run lasted less than 50 days and he would end up losing the title to Randy Orton in an underwhelming WrestleMania match. It took him over two and a half years before he got back on top of the mountain - but he needed an entirely new character for that.
