The 2010s are down to their final few weeks, and for us WWE fans, it's time to bid farewell to a decade that had lots of good, plenty of bad and a fair quantity of ugly.

We saw some major talents like John Cena, Triple H and Undertaker transition into part-time roles, while Hall of Famers like Batista, Edge and Shawn Michaels retired. This all paved the way for a new generation of WWE superstars to come and lead the company into a new era.

As the 2010s come to an end, let's reflect on the good, the bad and the ugly of WWE in 2019.

11 10. The Good: The Shield

Most of the top faces of the Ruthless Aggression Era - John Cena, Triple H, Undertaker, Chris Jericho, Kane and Big Show - were part-time performers at this stage and/or no longer carrying the mantle of being the main guy.

WWE had to introduce its next wave of future main eventers at some point. They did just that at Survivor Series 2012, when The Shield - consisting of Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose - showed up and helped CM Punk retain his WWE Championship.

Little did the WWE Universe know this at the time, but this event marked a major turning point in WWE, as all three superstars developed into main event-caliber and future WWE Champion talents.

10 9. The Bad: Roman Reigns' Main Event Push

As much as Roman Reigns succeeded with The Shield, WWE made the giant mistake in trying to give him a main events singles push before he was even ready. You really can't blame Reigns for this, because it's on Vince McMahon and WWE creative for botching it from the very beginning.

Reigns was booed heavily when he won the 2015 Royal Rumble, but WWE wouldn't take it as a hint. He was booed while feuding with heels such as Triple H, Braun Strowman, AJ Styles and even Rollins himself.

Reigns headlined four straight WrestleMania events (2014 to '18), plus numerous other pay-per-views. And yet, the WWE Universe continued to reject Reigns as the main guy - and Vince just wouldn't take "no" as an answer. Meanwhile, other worthy main event talents had to take a backseat because of WWE's stubbornness.

9 8. The Ugly: CM Punk's Departure

CM Punk was one of WWE's most decorated, admired and respected superstars for nearly a decade. He displayed remarkable in-ring chemistry with other WWE legends such as John Cena, Undertaker, The Rock, and Jeff Hardy, among others. The five-time World Champion also won consecutive Money in the Bank matches, in 2008 and 2009

But CM Punk's illustrious career in the ring came to an unexpected end in Jan. 2014, when he informed Triple H and the WWE chairman that he was heading home. CM Punk never returned to the company, due to health reasons and frustrations with the company.

CM Punk's wife, AJ Lee, also left WWE in 2015 shortly after calling out Stephanie McMahon on Twitter in regards to how they treated the female talents. Overall, this was a bad look on WWE for losing one of its main event stars as well as a three-time Divas Champion.

7 7. The Good: The New Day

WWE desperately needed a new tag team and stable to carry them in the 2010s, with very few options. Enter Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods - who introduced the "New Day" stable in July 2014.

These three have emerged as the most successful stable of the 2010s outside of The Shield. New Day has been together for five and a half years now, and they've combined to win seven Tag Team Championships. On top of that, Kingston finally received a deserving main event push at WrestleMania 35, where he defeated Daniel Bryan to become the new WWE Champion.

Just ask yourself this: Where would the WWE tag team division be today without Big E, Woods and Kingston?

6 6. The Bad: Brock Lesnar Gets All The Perks

Brock Lesnar's return to WWE in 2012 was a true game changer for Vince McMahon and other superstars. Nobody can deny the massive impact that Lesnar has made in his second tenure with WWE, but after a while, McMahon became overly reliant on him.

Lesnar, we need to remind you, is only a part-time performer. And yet, he's the one who got to end The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak in 2014. He's also received three Universal Championship reigns, one WWE Championship and the 2019 men's Money in the Bank - all over a two and a half year span. Not to mention, he also headlined WrestleMania 31 and WrestleMania 34.

Lesnar ended Kingston's beautiful and glorious WWE Championship reign this year, and he wasn't used to help put many talents over.

5 5. The Ugly: Wasting Royal Rumble Winners

A large portion of the Royal Rumble winners in the 2010s weren't so lucky when it came to competing for a championship opportunity at WrestleMania. Edge (2010), Alberto Del Rio (2011), Batista (2014), Roman Reigns (2015) and Shinsuke Nakamura and Asuka (2018) were all Royal Rumble winners who didn't end up winning the title at the ensuing WrestleMania event.

Batista and Reigns especially shouldn't have won the Royal Rumble in 2015. Nakamura and Asuka deserved their victories, but why WWE wasted them by having both lose at WrestleMania 34 is beyond us.

In the 2010s, winning the Royal Rumble became somewhat less relevant and important. Why would WWE move towards this?

4 4. The Good: Daniel Bryan

With John Cena's status as "the guy" slowly wearing down, WWE needed a new superstar to build around. Daniel Bryan burst onto the scene in 2010, and it wouldn't take him long to take over as the company's new favorite babyface.

Bryan became so popular that fans turned on Batista when he won the 2014 Royal Rumble, and on Reigns when he won it a year later. WWE had no choice but to turn Batista heel and make Bryan the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania XXX.

Bryan had to retire in 2016 due to a series of head injuries, but he made a historic return in 2018 - and he hasn't looked back. Bryan is as good and beloved as ever in the WWE, and his Hall of Fame career is far from over.

3 3. The Bad: Ignoring The Tag Team Division

Aside from The New Day, how many tag teams can you really say are Hall of Fame caliber?

WWE had no patience whatsoever when it came to building up the tag team division. Why do you think The Revival, one of their most successful tag teams, are seemingly about to leave? The WWE Women's Tag Team Division barely appeared on television for the first few months after its introduction, too.

It's a shame that WWE moved towards ignoring and disregarding the tag team division.

2 2. The Ugly: Misusing NXT Talents

Just take a long list at all the elite and world-class talents who came out of NXT, and how WWE managed to completely misuse them.

Shinsuke Nakamura never got a big push, even after winning the 2018 men's Royal Rumble. Sami Zayn, with soaring popularity in NXT, hasn't won a single title on the main event roster.

Kevin Owens' incredible Universal Championship reign ended at the hands of Goldberg, a part-time talent. Finn Balor never received much of a push after coming back from shoulder surgery in 2017.

Also, what are the plans with EC3, and are they ever going to give Ricochet a push? It's unfortunate that Vince seemingly isn't interested in pushing all of these talents that Triple H spent years developing.

1 1.The Good: Building The Women's Division

This was the biggest positive of WWE in the 2010s.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon put a huge emphasis on making the women's division as big as ever before. Now, just take a look at where the division stands today.

Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks took part in the first women's Hell in a Cell match back in 2016. The very first women's Royal Rumble took part in 2018. Oh, and Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey became the first women to headline a WrestleMania this past year.

With big names like Asuka, Alexa Bliss, Naomi and Carmella, you can see how the sky is the limit for the entire WWE women's division.
