10 WWE Superstars Who Desperately Need A Character Change In 2015

6. Adam Rose

Like Bo Dallas, Adam Rose came to the main WWE roster after a spell in NXT, where his party-going gimmick was loved by fans. However, he has become nothing more than a comedy sideshow since being called up to the main roster. As a taster of how low his stock is, he is currently embroiled in something of a rivalry with a man dressed as a rabbit. Rose's gimmick is simply too outlandish to fit into the upper echelons of today's WWE roster. Championship gold and high-level feuds are way out of reach for someone who knocks around with a gang of dancers in fancy dress and calls people "lemons" on a regular basis. The only way for Adam Rose to improve his position within the company is to completely change his character. One possibility for Rose is to return to his old, dark NXT gimmick as the hunter Leo Kruger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiZ0uIH7yrs Kruger is a genuinely edgy character, whose gimmick doesn't overwhelm what he does in the ring. It would be a real shock for fans on Raw and Smackdown to see this side of the man behind Adam Rose, with a complete change in his character. John Bradshaw Layfield went from tag team specialist to bona fide main event talent as a result of a full character shift, so perhaps Kruger could be Rose's chance to make an impact on the main roster.
