Wrestlers who are heels always look to achieve heat, making fans boo them to prove that they're doing an effective job. However, there is a time when fans can end up completely losing interest in a wrestler which leads them to getting "go away" heat, which is the type of heat that makes fans turn the channel.

10 Wrestlers Who Hated Each Other Inside The Ring & Out
These professional wrestling storylines felt real because they were. The wrestlers involved hated each other both inside and outside of the ring.

They're characters that the WWE audiences are simply fed up with or not interested in, which is never a positive sign. It's not a position that a wrestler wants to find themselves in and can often be indicative of a need for change in gimmick or storyline.

6 Dominik Mysterio Is Making It Work

He Garners Major Reactions

  • WWE Tenure: 2019 - Present
  • Former SmackDown Tag Team Champion
  • Two-time North American Champion

Dominik Mysterio is currently in a great position due to the fact he is part of The Judgment Day and is attached to one of the best characters in the company - Rhea Ripley. However, he does have "go away" heat at the moment, with fans not wanting to see him perform at all.

There's a lot more to know about Dominik Mysterio than what you see on WWE television.

There's a reason people completely drown him out whenever he speaks, and that's due to audiences not being interested. A big reason for that is that he has been a dastardly heel which is a credit to him, but at the same time, some fans just don't like him due to his in-ring ability still not being at the highest level.

5 Logan Paul Hasn't Won Everyone Over Yet

Not Everyone Is Convinced By Him

  • WWE Tenure: 2022 - Present
  • Current United States Champion
  • Social media star

Anytime someone is brought into WWE from outside the business they run the risk of receiving "go-away" heat, as fans can be particular with this. They often turn on people who haven't paid their dues, and that is particularly the case when they're not well-liked in the first place.

While there's no doubt that Logan Paul is massively popular, in wrestling he has had a lot of heat. He's a controversial person and that has led to him not being completely well-received. It led to him eventually having to adapt and become a heel, and while his in-ring ability is superb, Paul hasn't quite won everyone over just yet.

4 The Lone Wolf Is Still Getting Booed

Baron Corbin Has Suffered This For Years

  • WWE Tenure: 2012 - Present
  • Former United States Champion
  • Currently working in WWE NXT

Baron Corbin is an example of how some fans can create an opinion and stick to it for a long time, which is something that The Miz suffered for many years. He gets plenty of "go-away" heat from audiences, particularly when he's part of the main roster, which is largely because he has often been given a lot of opportunities.

Baron Corbin is one of WWE's most divisive Superstars. While there's a lot to hate about him, he does have redeeming traits as well.

His heat is quite unfair though as Corbin is very effective at his job, being someone who can talk and back it up with memorable matches. However, audiences have decided they're bored of him which has led to him suffering plenty of heat over the years.

3 Karrion Kross Can't Keep People's Attention

He Loses Fans When The Bell Rings

  • WWE Tenure: 2020 - 2021/ 2022 - Present
  • Two-time NXT Champion
  • Former Lucha Underground star

Karrion Kross is an interesting character, because he's someone with an intriguing gimmick that does have a lot of potential, but it doesn't connect. A big reason for that is his methodical style inside the ring, which means that a lot of fans have simply lost interest in him, which they're more than vocal about.

Kross' character should be similar to Bray Wyatt, being able to capture the attention of an audience from start to finish. However, on the main roster, it simply hasn't connected for him, with fans opting to go against that.

2 Austin Theory Was Pushed Too Hard Too Early

It's No Surprise Fans Have Turned On Him

  • WWE Tenure: 2019 - Present
  • Two-time United States Champion
  • Former Money In The Bank winner (2022)

Austin Theory has been portraying a heel throughout his time on the main roster, and he certainly does a good job of getting heat from a crowd. However, that has ended up turning into "go-away" heat simply because he was being forced down people's throats, which is a situation that WWE fans never take well.

These WWE wrestlers must step up in 2024 and make some improvements to ensure that they don't lose their spots.

He was given a lot of television time while being pushed with the United States Championship and Money In The Bank briefcase even though audiences didn't want him in that spot. His in-ring matches aren't overly exciting, and that's something that didn't help matters either, with fans winding up just going against him completely.

1 Nia Jax Isn't Popular

She Has Major "Go Away" Heat

  • WWE Tenure: 2014 - 2021/ 2023 - Present
  • Former Raw Women's Champion
  • Two-time Women's Tag Team Champion

Nia Jax returning to WWE was something that people didn't particularly want, and that's something that has been met by major go-away heat. Jax had this problem during the end of her previous run, which largely came due to several incidents inside the ring where she had hurt talent such as Becky Lynch and Kairi Sane.

Since returning, fans have opted to keep booing her, making it clear they're not interested in watching her perform right now. While she does bring a different style inside the ring, bringing a powerhouse performance, it still doesn't win over the crowd. Jax gets huge heat whenever she appears, and pushing her to the top of the card will only intensify that.
