5. Adam Rose
Here's another wrestler that Dunn reportedly buried backstage. Rose was over in NXT with his silly party boy gimmick, and it seemed like he would fit right in on Raw as a bit player. But when he finally got called up to the main roster, his fortunes changed. It's long been speculated that Dunn is sabotaging Triple H by burying the NXT talent Dunn reportedly wasn't high on Adam Rose, Kevin Owens, Paige, or Bo Dallas, and their pushes were stopped prematurely. Rose also had a thick accent something that Dunn is widely known to loathe. Rose had a match against Damien Sandow at Money in the Bank PPV, and it was up to him to get over with the crowd. And when the reaction was minimal, Dunn and Vince pulled the plug entirely. Rose disappeared off television completely it's even harder to get over when no one can see you. Today, Rose pops up on TV occasionally as a 'party pooper.' But still, they have nothing for him to do; barring any unforeseen, fortuitous circumstances, he's probably going to get sent back to NXT or fired in the next few months. And Rose has Dunn to thank for that.
