Reigns should not be getting his ass kicked constantly to get over as a face. Cena should not have been getting his ass kicked constantly to get over as a face. It doesn't fit them. It fits a Daniel Bryan type. Let the smaller guys get the sympathy and the muscled up beasts be muscled up fucking beasts.

Ryback should have told them everything they need to know. He got massively over just kicking ass to the point where as soon as he faced off with the heel everyone wanted to see get their shit kicked in, the crowd backed him INSTANTLY. He became "their guy". So they respond by making him look weak. He was still over to some extent because they never pushed him to the moon at that point but... it's just so fucking simple. It's insane how this company doesn't learn from what works and what doesn't.
Another case of a guy getting over WAY more than expected/supposed to, so WWE went out of their way to book him to lose all of his momentum. What's really sad is they decided what a year and a half later "hey let's have Ryback go back to the monster face for the Survivor Series Authority angle", and leading up to that in a short time he almost got back to the same level of being over, then of course WWE had him eliminated from the Survivor Series match in like 5 minutes.
