5 Gimmick Changes That Shouldn't Have Happened 

​

American Badass

WWE wrestlers don’t become superstars with just good matches. They have to work out everything nicely. From giving great matches to cutting promos, a wrestler has to become perfect in almost everything. And this also includes playing his/her character precisely in WWE. There have been many stars who are interpreting their roles correctly, but some of them require a character modification.

We had seen many instances when a new gimmick changed someone’s career in WWE. From Steve Austin to The Rock, a handful of wrestlers had different gimmicks before becoming worldwide famous.

However, sometimes the opposite of it had also taken place. Some wrestlers had better gimmicks, but then the WWE introduced a character change to them that didn’t fit well.

Many top WWE superstars have been a victim of lousy gimmick changes that eventually made them irrelevant. In this article, we will look at such five wrestlers.

#5 The Undertaker became The American Badass

The Undertaker is one of the most legendary figures in the history of WWE. He is working for the company for over 30 years now and has done so much for the business that has plastered his legacy.

If you are a serious wrestling fan, then you must have known that The Undertaker also had a gimmick change, many years ago. WWE tried to experiment with this gimmick and made him the American Badass.

However, it took away a lot of mystique from his character, and therefore I included him on this list. Undertaker’s Deadman gimmick is one of the most mysterious characters in the WWE, but this change in his gimmick made him irrelevant for a short period.
