8 Times WWE Failed To Make New Stars In 2015

3. Tyler Breeze

When the rumors broke that Tyler Breeze would be making his main roster debut after a long tenure in NXT, speculation was rife on the method in which he would debut. I personally came up with seven ideas WWE could use to bring up him, two of which were immediately used upon his first appearance (Ziggler feud and pairing with Summer Rae €“ I€™ll take my check now, WWE). It seemed like a no-brainer to have the charismatic young star debut at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view and face John Cena in his U.S. open challenge, unseating the champ and being christened a star to keep an eye on in the process. Instead he debuted on SmackDown €“ which is the wrestling equivalent of a tree falling in the forest when no one€™s around to hear it €“ and was immediately inserted into a midcard feud where he began trading wins, yet another victim in the infinite 50/50 booking black hole of suck. I€™m not suggesting Tyler Breeze was ever going to be someone who WWE should build around; in fact his ceiling is probably a Billy Gunn or Rick Martel level. They should at least test the waters and see what they have first, and if it doesn€™t work then fine, but already positioning a newcomer to be €œjust another guy€ in the eyes of the fans is never a good move.
