6. R-Truth
It may not come as much of a surprise that R-Truth is on this list, but it does when you consider where he was on the card a mere three years ago. Truth was a rare example of a Superstar who managed to rejuvenate his stagnant career literally overnight. By 2011, he had been back in WWE for three years and his career was going nowhere. A heel turn on the April 18 Raw turned him into the one of the company’s hottest heels almost instantly. From there, he contended for the WWE Championship, headlined multiple pay-per-views and feuded with the likes of John Cena, Triple H, CM Punk and The Rock.
By the end of the year, Truth had cooled off considerably. He returned from his 30-day suspension as a fan favorite, engaged in a lackluster feud with The Miz and over time stripped all aspects of his crazy character that got him over in the first place. As of 2014, Truth is once again an enhancement talent. Before breaking the undefeated streak of Bo Dallas on the July 28 Raw, the former United States champion hadn’t won a televised match on Raw or SmackDown since the January 27 Raw where he beat Fandango. While Truth shouldn’t be anything higher than a midcarder at this point in his career, it’s still sad to see how far he’s fallen these last few years.
