8 Times Wrestlers Were Rejected In Their Hometowns

8. Jason Jordan (WWE Raw, December 2017)

The one-time American Alpha stud never really stood a chance, did he?

After being dumped into the middle of a bizarre storyline involving him being revealed as Kurt Angle's illegitimate son, Jason Jordan was made to look like a bit of a spoilt brat from there on out, constantly whining to his general manager paps and not exactly excelling as a plucky, likeable babyface on Monday Night Raw.

And fans were so unconvinced by Jordan as a heroic star of tomorrow that he couldn't even catch a break in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois back in 2017. Worse still, when marching down to the ring to team with Seth Rollins in a match for the Raw Tag Team Championships, the star was booed mercilessly by those inside of the Allstate Arena live... on Christmas Day!

Jordan did manage to get the last laugh by walking out of the venue with the red brand's tag straps for the very first time. But watching Jordan awkwardly smile his way through the negativity feels especially cruel when revisiting this festive event as Jordan's career would effectively end in-between the ropes a few months later due to injury.
