8. The Forgotten Sons

Can you feel a repackage job coming on?

The Forgotten Sons crashed onto the SmackDown scene with a noisy thump in April and were clearly positioned as a threat to the Tag-Team Titles. That all changed when leader Jaxson Ryker openly showed support for Donald Trump on Twitter, and did so amidst impassioned real-world situations.

Kevin Owens, Mustafa Ali and Sami Zayn were just some of the WWE stars who criticised Ryker's comments and said he needed to be smarter when trying to promote his on screen gimmick. Ryker, Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake haven't been seen since that episode in June.

There's a solid chance the latter pair will return under a new gimmick as a tag and resume their bid to be SmackDown's top heels. Who knows what the future holds for Ryker. He's a classic example of how social media use can get in the way of a corporate company's plans.
