3 lackluster rivalries WWE has booked in 2018 so far

<p>
Roman Reigns as Intercontinental Champion

The WWE consistently manufactures remarkable story-lines, fights, and contentions which engage onlookers and fans all over the globe. The wrestlers associated with these feuds carry different characters and depict an overwhelming picture towards its kin.

These quarrels take a parcel of planning and appropriate execution to advance in an adequate way to the general population. The players associated with such matches frequently feature in PPVs and even headline main events.

WWE has shown great storylines which have often given recognition to the company. Shawn Michaels in most cases has been an integral part of two of the most interesting feuds in the history of WWE. The Undertaker has always found his unique way of selling a feud without uttering too much.

In any case, there are some matches or competitions that do not go according to the plan and along these lines ends up being an entire disappointment. Such contentions ought not to be pushed further, and, hence are supposed to be halted quickly. Here are five such feuds in the WWE which have not satisfied the WWE audience.

Often WWE has found itself under huge criticism for wasting talents and ruining storylines. While the AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura storyline was always something fans wanted, it became boring after a while. The low blow angle worked a few times but it only rode downhill from there.


#3 Daniel Bryan vs Big Cass

They confronted each other at BackLash and the match got heaps of fire. This feud was executed to give Cass the truly necessary push. Nonetheless, post Money in the Bank, the competition wrapped up and Daniel Bryan moved on to something that will only bring cheers to the audience. Team Hell No.

The feud did not interest fans for obvious reasons. They wanted the returning Daniel Bryan to have a feud with an A-lister and move to the main event shows, but contrary to what the audience thought, Vince McMahon had other plans.

Big Cass with his lack of mic skills and the fan favorite Daniel Bryan did not come out as a nice idea together in the ring. The WWE fans have always seen Big Cass as a jobber or as a wrestler who fills time slots, but to have him play against the prime players in the industry was a doomed idea.

#2 Bobby Lashley vs Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn vs Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley is one helluva capable wrestler. He has been in the US Army, he possesses a faultless record in the MMA, he has been a champion in each association he has stepped his feet into. In WWE, he is a previous ECW and US Champion. After a long non appearance, Lashley came back to WWE and quarreled with Sami Zayn.

This feud looked a greater amount of a forced one than an innovative competition. Zayn making jokes about Lashley's personal life, sisters, his tenure in the armed forces and so on, wasn't amusing.

Lashley defeated Sami Zayn in the Money in the Bank PPV and it was comforting for the fans that the feud ended there and then. I don't see how they could have continued the feud with so less going behind it.

It was pointless to bring Sami Zayn and Bobby Lashley in the same picture considering how Sami Zayn still hasn't picked up audience support.

#1 Roman Reigns vs Jinder Mahal

Roman Reigns and Jinder Mahal feud was probably the most baseless and senseless feud ever seen in recent times. While trying to give a push to an already established and equally hated Roman Reigns, WWE found it's bait in the form of Jinder Mahal who was a couple of months back being pushed into the main event arena.

The feud was baseless and worked only as a substitute for Roman Reigns during Brock Lesnar's absence. Nonetheless, the feud ended with one bout in a PPV and Roman found Bobby Lashley as a new opponent.

A storyline that sounds interesting if accompanied by good promos and wrestling could work wonders for the company. Jinder Mahal on the other hand hasn't made an appearance after that.
