The WWE Universe could fade-to-black in 2018

#6 Tye Dillinger

Future Intercontinental Champion?

No one in recent memory has endured as much by the way of setbacks as Tye Dillinger. Do you realise this guy has been under WWE contract for over 10 years? Yes, this is true... and it's also pathetic that he is just now being given minimal opportunities to showcase his talent.

In 2006, Tye signed with WWE and was assigned to the then developmental territory, 'Ohio Valley Wrestling.' Since then, Tye has witnessed first-hand, a plethora of professional wrestlers come and go....and in some instances, come and go again! All the while, Dillinger continued to stand firm, believing and hoping he would one day get his shot on the main roster.

Well, now his time has come and as expected, the fans adore this guy. He has the WWE Universe in the palm of his hands, but now he has to make the powers-that-be believe in him.

Tye Dillinger is 36 years old. WWE officials need to take notice of the talent they have within him, as well as the clock known as father time. Tye has plenty of ability, hopefully, he will be afforded the opportunity to show the world exactly how good and valuable he truly is.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
