10 Wrestlers Who've Suffered Most From The WWE Brand Split

10. Bo Dallas

Bo Dallas wasn’t born to set the wrestling world on fire. His NXT Title run was revelatory at a time when WWE’s developmental brand was still building its now-stellar reputation, and while he showed promise upon debuting on the main roster, his “Bolieve” shtick died ahead of its time. Dallas was soon relegated to enhancement status, and that’s perfectly fine: he’s an average wrestler with a fun gimmick, but probably lacks the potential to ever make it past the midcard.

With that said, The Social Outcasts had a clear role to play in WWE. As the lower-card’s resident annoyances, they were an oddly-entertaining enhancement act, and the stable gave purpose to four WWE superstars who were otherwise lost without it. The 2016 Draft split Dallas, Curtis Axel, and Heather Slater up, however, and we all know what happened with Adam Rose.

Post-Draft, Dallas is non-existent on Raw. He’s been used mostly to put other guys over on Superstars, and while nobody’s exactly calling-out for a big Bo Dallas push in 2016, he’s gone from regularly-used Raw talent to a complete non-factor.

There should theoretically be a role for him to be used instead of the hapless “local talents” that are fed to Braun Strowman on a weekly basis, but apparently not. If Dallas wasn’t dead in the water before, he certainly is now.
