8 Big Concerns Heading Into WWE No Mercy 2017

8. Rushing Jason Jordan

Jason Jordan's singles push hasn't worked. The former American Alpha man has been unable to connect with the audience on any meaningful level since being unveiled at Kurt Angle's son, and while it's still too early to call the project a write-off, it wouldn't be a stretch to say it's been an abject failure thus far.

Saddled with a cheesy, '80s-style smiling babyface gimmick, Jordan showed good fire in standing up for his father on this week's Raw, but that was the first time he's exhibited any personality since switching brands. His crowd reactions are non-existent, and while he'll benefit from going up against WWE's most effective heel this weekend, he needs to lose.

In his current form, Jordan would kill the Intercontinental Title division. The belt isn't in great shape at the moment, but having Miz as champion at least gives fans a reason to care, but this would evaporate with Jason at the helm. He just isn't connecting, and if you give the audience a champion they don't give a damn about, they'll lose interest in the belt too.

Sadly, the way WWE treat their midcard belts means such a move may well be on the cards.
