10 Mistakes WWE Are Still Paying For

In truth, Roman's dreadful booking is an ongoing mistake. He may not have taken the title at WrestleMania, but the mere fact he was given yet another headline bout proves WWE haven't quite learnt their lesson just yet.

You wonder whether things might have turned out differently had the initial approach that followed his split from The Shield four years ago been more slow and steady. If he hadn't, in other words, been pushed to the moon straight away.

Two of the biggest mistakes here were having him win the 2015 Royal Rumble, and then the following year, setting him up in a hackneyed triumphant babyface versus the world scenario when he came up against Triple H and The Authority.

The intent here was to generate organic fan support, but it had the opposite effect. People feared that he was being groomed for the same role John Cena had occupied a decade earlier, and it led to a backlash of a kind that is almost impossible for him to overcome.
