10 times WWE decisions made the fans shake their heads in 2017

#6 Sami Zayn saving Kevin Owens at Hell In A Cell

Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, — Best friends, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn,

What was the point of this? Yes, Kevin Owens versus The McMahon family was a very intriguing idea and a great way to make Owens one of the greatest heels SmackDown Live ever offered, but it also seems to have been put on the back burner by WWE in favour of other storylines.

With that being said, having Owens and Zayn together is a great idea but not if you don't do anything with it after the big reveal. Again, it was a great moment to see Zayn come to the rescue of Kevin Owens at Hell in a Cell, but absolutely meaningless if they don't push the envelope with the story at all.

When scripted fights get too real - Watch Here!

For example, The Smackdown Live after the Hell in a Cell pay per view featured Zayn and Owens in a tag team match against Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton. Not only was this probably the worst way ever to get an anti-Authority angle off the ground, it killed the momentum that the previous night had created.

Another problem with the storyline is its pacing, which has been incredibly slow from the start and really lacking those moments that could make something like this special. Maybe WWE has something big planned for the duo and it will eventually involve some title gold, but it just seems to be pointless for now.
