Seth-Rollins-Evolution

Introduction

 

WWE consists of many superstars that are beloved by the entire WWE Universe. Sadly, throughout the entire year of 2014, some of these beloved heroes have shocked the entire WWE Universe by turning their backs on them.

 

Seth Rollins

The WWE Universe embraced one of the most dominant factions in The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns) earlier this year. Then, one night on Raw, Rollins shocked the world when he attacked his two Shield cohorts and aligned himself with the despised Authority.

 

The Bella Twins

 

As the two respective lovers of two of WWE’s most beloved superstars, John Cena and Daniel Bryan, The Bella Twins (Nikki & Brie) were loved and adored by the WWE Universe. Then, at this year’s SummerSlam, Nikki shocked everybody when she attacked her sister and helped the evil Stephanie McMahon pick up a victory over Brie. After months of being at one another’s throats, the twins had a match at the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View event to determine who would become the winner’s personal assistant for 30 days, which Nikki won. One month later at Survivor Series, after being put through hell by her sister for the last month, Brie Shocked the WWE Universe when she willingly helped her sister beat the beloved AJ Lee for the WWE Divas Championship. As of right now, The Bella Twins are back together in full force; however, I am still wondering if Brie is setting up her sister to make her pay for her betrayal at SummerSlam.

 

Goldust & Stardust

 

Goldust (the alter ego of Dustin Rhodes) & Stardust (the alter ego of Cody Rhodes) were loved by the WWE Universe. In 2013, both of the half-brothers were fired by the power hungry Authority. Eventually, they fought back against The Authority and ended up getting their jobs back in the end. Shortly after, The Rhodes Brothers became WWE Tag Team Champions. 2013 was a great year for them. At the beginning of 2014, however, they lost their championships and started getting on a bit of a losing streak. While this was happening, Cody eventually got to the point where he felt that his brother could use a “better tag team partner”. After weeks of Goldust trying out new partners and coming up short with them, Cody then told his brother that his new partner would be someone he has never tagged with before, but he might be more up Goldust’s alley. That partner turned out to be none other than Cody morphing himself into his brand new alter ego, Stardust. The Rhodes Brothers became even more loved by the WWE Universe and got back to their winning ways. Eventually, one night on Raw, The Rhodes Brothers faced then-WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos (Jimmy & Jey), who were also, and still are, loved by the WWE Universe, for the championship. The Rhodes Brothers won the match by count-out, which means the championship does not change hands. Afterwards, Goldust & Stardust shocked the WWE Universe by brutally attacking The Usos.

 

Paige

 

From her NXT days all the way up to debuting on the main roster, Paige was always one of the WWE Universe’s favorite divas. On the night she debuted as a member of the main roster on the Raw after WrestleMania 30, Paige shocked the world when she defeated the longest reigning WWE Divas Champion in history AJ Lee to become the youngest champion in history at age 21. After months of proving herself as champion, AJ returned on an edition of Raw after a lengthy absence and became a fan favorite once again. She would also regain the championship from Paige in an impromptu match that night. Weeks later, just when it appeared that the two divas had started a brand new friendship, Paige shocked everybody by attacking AJ after the two teamed up to win a match on Raw.

 

Big Show

 

The Big Show is one of wrestling’s seasoned veterans and was one of the most beloved superstars of all time. Leading up to this year’s Survivor Series, Big Show decided to join John Cena’s team to fight against The Authority’s team. If Cena’s team won, then The Authority would be out of power, if The Authority’s team won, then all of Cena’s teammates would be fired. During the match, Big Show shocked the world when he KO punched John Cena, shook Authority leader Triple H’s hand and walked out on his team. This was shocking considering the fact that Big Show was put through hell by The Authority the previous year.

 

Conclusion

 

All of this was definitely a sad and dark day for WWE as all of these beloved heroes shattered the hearts of the WWE Universe as well as any possible allies they had in the WWE locker room. Throughout all the years in WWE, there have been superstars that the WWE Universe has loved and supported for a long time and then one day those superstars just turned their backs on them. In a lot of cases, those superstars have embraced the WWE Universe once again. Hopefully, that is what will happen with the superstars mentioned above sometime in the near future.
