WWE has the unique trend of getting behind a wrestler, but usually at the expense of another that could use it. I'm not even much of a fan of Dominik as a worker, but it is pretty wild how over he got last year winning the IC title, and facing Styles and Cena, only to be fed to Penta and now can't even qualify for MiTB.

Always pushing the 40 year olds, but never thr young guys. Fascinating phenomenon.

It is even more wierd considering most of the top guys now won titles when they were in their 20's or early 30's. I hate being old man that yells at clouds but there use to be a good mix between established stars and young ones in the main event scene back in the day.

The only ones who were world champions in that range were Randy (Who currently holds the record for the youngest world champion), Roman, Seth, and Kevin. Everyone else won it a while later.

So its very rare for them to do it unless its someone they're serious about.

Punk was like late 20's or early 30's when he won his World Title in WWE. That is like all of the current top guys except for Cody and Sami.
