Does HHH's WWE do a bad job at protecting wrestlers and/or actually making them seem like a threat?
You had Bron Breakker, who was a big name last year, that (if I remember correctly) has taken a fair few pinfalls in recent memory and has had his momentum constantly squandered, losing his title opportunity against Punk, being eliminated first at the RR, and now losing the feud with Rollins.
If you want a more recent example, you have Royce Keys, who could've been a bigger deal, but has been on a losing streak, taking losses to the likes of Talla Tonga and Jimmy Uso.
For comparison, Roman went unpinned until 2013 after nearly a year of the Shield's debut, and it was in an 11-3 handicap match so it doesn't really count.
I also noticed current WWE doesn't really do many streaks, at least of note, besides Roman (who wasn't pinned for years, mind you) and the Usos' record breaking reigns, plus Gunther's IC reign, though both of those were started under the Vince regime. I guess you can count nobody kicking out of Bronson's Tsunami as a streak, but who knows.
What do y'all think? Are you on the same page as me when it comes to this topic?
