the Year" (with Scott Steiner in January 2003) and being voted by WON'''s readers as the "Most Overrated" (2002–2004) and the "Readers' Least Favorite Wrestler" (2002 and 2003). It would stay with him despite getting in a better physical condition and thus having better matches and feuds by 2004—due to him winning the title five times for a total of 616 days—until he put over Batista (whose storyline building and eventual feud was highly acclaimed, winning the WON "Feud of the Year" award) at WrestleMania 21, Backlash and Vengeance. After his Hell in a Cell match with Batista at Vengeance, Triple H was given a standing ovation. Triple H would be getting cheered during his feud with Cena in 2006 despite still being a villain,Pro Wrestling Illustrated presents: 2007 Wrestling almanac & book of facts.

John Bradshaw Layfield John Bradshaw Layfield's push in 2004 that would change him from a predominantly tag team division competitor to a SmackDown! main eventer who went on to hold the WWE Championship for 280 days (the longest reign in a decade) is often seen as go away heat due to the push being perceived as forced and undeserving. It was noted that Layfield's push came at a time where SmackDown!'s talent roster was short of heel main eventers due to Brock Lesnar leaving the company and Kurt Angle due once again suffering from legitimate neck problems. It came to light that then-reigning WWE Champion and top babyface Eddie Guerrero felt a lot of pressure as he felt he was responsible for the drop in crowd attendance at SmackDown!'s live events at the time and wanted to drop the title. Layfield would not improve things on SmackDown! during his reign and actually drew even less than Guerrero. Furthermore, Layfield's matches on pay-per-view were not well received, including his WrestleMania 21 match with John Cena in which he lost the title. However, the subsequent rematch between Layfield and Cena in an "I Quit" match at Judgment Day was better received. Stephanie McMahon As a villainess, Stephanie McMahon has been able to draw many boos, but her run with The Authority since 2013, as well as her run as Raw Commissioner, has been criticized and critics and fans alike saw her heat during this period as go away heat.
