Same thing that goes wrong with a lot of newbies. A hero's only as good as his villains, and Rose hasn't had any feuds worth checking out since he got called up. Even Big E had his series with Rusev that I think opened a lot of eyes for both men. Actually, I think it is this. I couldn't tell you a single thing Rose has actually done. What has his character even attempted since debuting, never mind achieved? So, what do you want from a character that can drive his/her own momentum given the opportunity, like an Adam Rose or a Funkasaurus Brodus Clay? Not every gimmick requires a feud out of the gate; and Swagger and Zeb's Sam the Eagle conservative braying aside, not all require significant amounts of exposition.

They debuted him thinking "wow, that WHOA OH OH OH OH thing will be HUGE!" And that's all.
That's the problem with chasing crowd chants all the time, the wrestler becomes a caricature, secondary to his own chant, an empty vessel for lightweight crowd participation, rather than investment. They give this illusion that a wrestler is over, so in WWE land that manes "oh, this guy's already over! good, we don't have to do shit with him!"

In the least angry way - he's been on the main roster for nearly a year, when does it stop being 'right out of the gate'? I'm not even saying he has to be doing anything significant, my point was I don't even remember him trying to, other than entering the Royal Rumble (which in fairness according to his gimmick I wouldn't think he'd give much of a shit about anyway). Some talents should just be feuding over nonsense or doing weird shit, it doesn't mean they need endless mic time or a blood feud, but Rose hasn't even really done that.

He recently had a Twitter feud with Zack Ryder along with a series of matches on the C-shows if that counts for anything.
