>>19619885it's pretty much just Cody and Gunther who has been firmly elevated into the main event in the 10 years since Rollins and Reigns were first thrusted, it's not that WWE didn't try to make new stars, Daniel Bryan was hit by unfortunate injuries in the mid 2010s right around the time he was one of the most popular performers ever, Ambrose wasn't seen as one of the top guys despite red hot he was in 2014-2016, Bray Wyatt was too gimmicky to be consistent, AJ Styles had a good time at the top but he was 39 by the time he made it to the WWE, Jinder was a fucking flop, McIntyre could have been one, but Reigns' dominance pretty much ensured he was only main event adjacent after his first world title reign, Bobby didn't seem to get over as hard as he could have and he was also 44, Owens was sent back to the upper midcard after getting squashed by Goldberg, Balor never sniffed any main event success ever again after his unfortunate injury right after he got the title, Strowman's knees were too shot to keep him at the top, Damian was never that over despite how strong they tried to book him and got most of his face heat when Rhea is near him, and Jey kept embarrassing himself in the ring too much that he had to be sent back into tag division.
