According to The Wrestling Observer, a lot of WWE’s major talents were the victim of neutral booking. In fact, WWE featured more 50/50 booking of their talents on television in 2015 more than any other major wrestling promotion.
The problem with this kind of booking is most superstars come off looking average, and it weakens the roster. It means that a lot of wins don’t mean as much as they should and limits the momentum of a lot of talents because they lose as often as they win.
Below are some of the stats of how WWE booked their Champions in 2015:
- World Champions did 12 jobs on WWE television last year, including nine of the 12 by Seth Rollins.
- Intercontinental Champions did 14 jobs on television in 2015, including eight by King Barrett and three by Kevin Owens.
- United States Champions did eight jobs on TV, with Rollins looking at the lights on three of those occasions.
- Tag-Team Champions did 21 tag-team jobs, ten of which were by The New Day.
- Divas Champions did nine television jobs, seven by Nikki Bella and two by Charlotte.
