8 WWE Superstars With Untapped Heel Potential
8. Jason Jordan
With his current character, Jason Jordan is never going to get over as a babyface because fans are not foolish enough to see past the nonsense of the Kurt Angle’s son storyline.
Even having showcased his impressive wrestling ability in matches with Roman Reigns and John Cena, Jordan is struggling to win over the audience because of the soap opera plot. He was booed in his Intercontinental Championship match at No Mercy as the Los Angeles crowd sided with "hometown boy" The Miz, who is the purest heel on the WWE roster.
Only a couple of months removed from being given the stupid rub of having Angle as his dad, Jordan is slipping down the card. He badly needs a heel turn to make this gimmick work.
His character has great heel potential, either as the brown-nosing son of the RAW General Manager, who can manipulate Angle into getting his way, or as the man who fabricated his relationship with the Olympic medalist to get a push.
This could lead to a match with Angle that would draw a lot more interest than anything WWE could do with Jordan as a good guy.
