5. A solid face/heel to lead the company
Trending
Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold, The Rock and John Cena have all been worthy of leading the company in their primes – and they were positioned as the main men in the WWE as well.
But such a focal point is lacking in the WWE currently. Seth Rollins seems to be the closest answer to this, but he had been booked as a cowardly champion and a side kick to the Authority during his time as the WWE Champion. Even when fans clamoured for him to be a babyface on his return from injury, he was still booked as a heel.
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
Roman Reigns isn’t going to be that man without turning heel first and Dean Ambrose seems more like a transitional champion than anything else. That isn’t Ambrose’s fault - he just hasn't been booked in the right way.
John Cena is still there, but he seems to be stepping aside for the younger generation to step up and his role has become increasingly closer to that of a part-timer.
The fact remains that there is no wrestler in particular that you want to watch when you tune into Raw or Smack Down – that personal magnetism vanished when CM Punk and Daniel Bryan retired. Finn Balor might be the answer if he’s booked correctly, but he needs a mouthpiece to cut promos for him.
