If it wasn't already evident, Jason Jordan's singles push on Raw hasn't exactly panned out the way officials probably hoped it would.

There is no denying his talent inside the ring, but he lacks charisma, and as a character, we know nothing about him aside from how he's a former tag team champion and Kurt Angle's storyline son. He was revealed to be Kurt's kin nearly four months ago and he hasn't made much progress. In fact, on the nights he isn't being booed, the crowd hardly reacts to him at all.

The easy solution would be to turn him heel. Rocky Maivia suffered from a similar issue in early 1997 when fans took exception to his aggressive push, so WWE went ahead and turned him heel. Upon evolving into The Rock, he became one of the biggest stars the business had ever seen.

Of course, Jordan is no Rock, but he would benefit from following in his footsteps. It might be too early to have him go full-fledged heel on his dad in an attempt to elicit genuine heat, but slowly starting that process soon would at least prove he's worth something if WWE can tweak his character.
