FTR: Were already a big deal, now they are relegated to a non-existent RoH
MJF: Got the big win over Punk with help from Wardlow, only to have to turn around and job to Punk a month or two later to facilitate the Wardlow turn and disappear for months soon after.
Wardlow: Wardlow was the hottest act already outside of MJF, and while he had a good run for a couple months after, he's now been shoved into a tag team with Samoa Joe and they've stuck him back in a reformed pinnacle.

Will Hobbs wasnt elevated at all. He had a one off with Punk then kept doing exactly what he was doing in Team Taz, except he went from number 2 in that team to number 3 when Hook surpassed him. He finally did something by turning on Starks, but nothing since other than a few wins over ransom jobbers.
Darby Allin was on an upward trajectory, was TNT Champ, all before Punk came in. Since then, Darby hasn't done anything of note. He beat Jay Lethal one time, but he is much further down the card than he was before Phil.
FTR are exactly what they have always been. Just because Punk said they are good doesn't mean people were suddenly clued in.
MJF and Wardlow were built up to clash long before Punk. If anything Punk being involved dragged it out longer than needed.
There is also the fact that he did the opposite of help in burying the Bucks, Hangman, and the company. He also caused his friend to get fired, and Omega to get suspended.
He did far more to hurt the company than be did to help it, which is what I said was going to happen all along.
