10 WWE Stars Already Having A Terrible 2018

9. Heath Slater

Don't WWE realise that Heath Slater got kids to feed? Apparently not, and they've even forgotten he was part of the first ever SmackDown Tag-Team Champions with Rhyno too.

2018 has started with some losses for Slater. If that sounds familiar, it should, because 2017 was almost identical. The only difference back then was that Heath did the honours in tag matches. Now, he's the very definition of enhancement talent and dropping singles losses to everyone from Kane to 'Woken' Matt Hardy.

There's no upside for Heath. He doesn't have the quirky character WWE created in 2016 (those sketches in his trailer did provide some genuine laughs) and he's barely on screen for longer than a few minutes at a time. Things are not looking good for someone who has done the best with everything creative have handed him, only to see the rug pulled out when he gets it over.

Maybe that Social Outcasts gimmick was art imitating life.
