Dean was exposed even when he was still in WWE, it quickly became apparent that he needed the shield more than Roman or Seff did. Any time he wasn't in a match or angle with one of those two guys no one cared about him and that's still true today. People sit in silence during his matches and only pop when he does a curb stomp or a triple powerbomb.
2016 he was wwe champ and supposed to be the face of smackdown but he was immediately mogged and then replaced by AJ Styles who hadn't even been in the company for a year. Even a chinless jobber outshined him during that period.
