10 WWE Stars Who Have Suffered The Most Since WrestleMania 32

1. Rusev

His recent loss to The Big Show at Fastlane proves that Rusev is slipping further and further down the totem pole of importance in WWE; a few short years ago, the 'Bulgarian Brute' would have been winning on his road to WrestleMania, instead of being squashed by veterans who don't even have a match at the Show of Shows.

More than anyone else on this list, Rusev has suffered because he was given false hope by WWE's creative team for much of 2016.

Following his dire inclusion in the League Of Nations debacle, the roots of Rusev started to shine through once again after he captured the United States Title from Kalisto at Extreme Rules last May; recapturing his former glory and shine, Rusev should have went from strength to strength as champ.

Initially, it looked like WWE were finally back on the right path with him, but Rusev's demotion after losing to Roman Reigns at Hell In A Cell has been drastic; teaming with Jinder Mahal and interminably feuding with Enzo Amore and Big Cass hasn't suited Rusev's brutish character, causing him to be rudderless heading into WrestleMania 33.

Rusev is currently going nowhere - through no fault of his own.
