2017 WWE Superstar Shake-Up Ranked - From Worst To Best
16. Heath Slater And Rhyno
If nothing else, Heath Slater found a bittersweet reason to celebrate in 2017. When Darren Young was released at the beginning of November, the 'One-Man Band' found himself standing tall as the only member of Nexus to still be active inside a WWE ring. When you get as little TV time as Heath Slater, even the smallest victories must be accepted.
Heath Slater and Rhyno have been more anonymous than most since the Superstar Shake-Up. The duo have wrestled just seven tag matches since the move, one of which was the utterly dreadful All Hallows Eve Trick or Street Fight against Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows on Halloween. Just four of those bouts have been two-on-two matches, with an average bell-to-bell time of just two minutes and 48 seconds.
Beauty and the Man-Beast’s move to RAW seems like one of the more pointless switches of the entire Superstar Shake-Up. Much like Hawkins, the duo are enhancement talent these days, but what good is enhancement talent if it isn’t given the chance to enhance anyone?
