10 WWE Storylines from 2018 that didn't get resolved

#8 Bludgeon Lust?

What was the point of bringing Naomi into this feud?

When Luke Harper and Erick Rowan came back and reinvented themselves as The Bludgeon Brothers in November 2017, it was clear they were going to be an unstoppable force. After destroying all of their opponents every time they appeared, they soon captured the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 34, beating the two most dominant tag teams, The Usos and The New Day, in a matter of minutes.

It was easy to see that the Brothers had shaken up the SmackDown tag-team division in a big way. It didn’t matter if their opponents were high flyers like Jimmy or Jey Uso or physically strong wrestlers like Big E. The Bludgeon Brothers didn’t seem to have any sort of weaknesses whatsoever, except for one.

On the 17th April episode of SmackDown, The Bludgeon Brothers brutalised The Usos after a singles match between a member from each team, until a distraught Naomi came to the aid of her husband and brother-in-law.

In an unusual change of pace for the Bludgeon Brothers, they appeared to show mercy on the Usos - just because of her. The following week, Naomi then distracted Rowan, giving her husband Jimmy the victory.

Their feud ended in Saudi Arabia at The Greatest Royal Rumble (where women aren’t allowed to compete), causing Naomi to miss the end of the storyline, but it never actually explained as to why The Bludgeon Brothers had a weakness for Naomi. Did they see her as someone of a higher power, someone they just lusted over, or something else entirely?

Either way, due to the fact that she wasn’t allowed to appear at The Greatest Royal Rumble, it did ultimately cause a hole in this storyline and failed to explain why Harper and Rowan was constantly distracted by Naomi.
