Have fans already lost interest in this storyline?

There have been some stellar examples of long-term storytelling in the history of pro wrestling - Hulk Hogan vs Macho Man, Stone Cold vs The Rock, Triple H vs Shawn Michaels to name a few.

In recent times too, there have been some stand-out feuds like Daniel Bryan vs The Authority, Sasha Banks vs Bayley in NXT. But, it seems like WWE have lost sight of what exactly a story needs to keep the fans captivated for a long time.

There have been some ongoing feuds that have grown so stale that fans cannot wait for these storylines to come to an end, and for the Superstars involved to move on to other feuds.


#4 Bobby Roode vs Elias

Th
Three matches, zero story

Now this probably cannot even qualify as a storyline because there is no story to be told between these two Superstars. Yet, WWE have already had the two go against each other on three consecutive episodes of Raw!

When Roode moved over to Raw in the Superstar shakeup, fans were in anticipation that a heel turn and push were in the vicinity for The Glorious One. However, subsequent weeks have seen no such development.

Elias has been pretty over with the fans with his performances week after week, but he is very much in need of a wrestling feud before the fans lose interest in him. So, it is safe to say that these Superstars need to move on from each other and go on to other storylines next.

#3 Sasha Banks vs Bayley

These two can recreate their stellar NXT feud on Raw

One of WWE's great unanswerable questions right now - are Sasha Banks and Bayley friends or foes? It is not only the fans who aren't sure of this, as even WWE can't seem to make their minds up about the same.

The two have been either fighting it out in random brawls or accompanying each other to the other's match since a good three months now.

Fans have already stopped caring about what will happen next, which is a pity because WWE had a great story on their hands and two very talented Superstars to carry out the classic tale of 'best friends turned enemies'.

The company should either have one big, well built-up match between the two, maybe at Money in the Bank, or just abandon the story altogether once and for all, so that the two can move on to other storylines.

#2 AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura

Enough with the low blows!

After their 5-star classic at Wrestle Kingdom, the match between Styles and Nakamura was one of the most anticipated at WrestleMania 34. While the bout itself was not half bad, the heel turn by Nakamura towards the end shocked the fans!

In the next few weeks, Nakamura has proved that he can carry off the heel role very well indeed, but the feud itself has been a case of lazy booking by WWE. Their match at GRR ended with a double count-out as the two went at each other outside the ring.

When SmackDown Live GM Paige announced that their 2nd rematch at Backlash would be a No Disqualification match, the fans thought that the third fight would end with one of the two coming out on top.

But this was not so, as the match ended with a cringe-worthy double low blow, after which neither Superstar made it to their feet before the 10-count, causing the referee to end the match in a no-contest.

The prospect of yet another rematch is exhausting to be honest, and WWE needs to end this story with a clear winner. Enough with the low blows already!

#1 Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns

Ent
Both are desperate for a new storyline

I admit, I was actually looking forward to the match between Reigns and Lesnar at WrestleMania for the Universal Title, as build up to their eventual match had been tremendous!

Reigns even got cheered once or twice when he called out 'The Beast Incarnate' for being a part-timer in one of the best promos of his career.

While the match itself was a bit of a let-down, WWE still managed to pull off a shocking finish when Lesnar defeated a bloodied and battered Reigns.

Surprisingly, in a move that made zero sense storyline-wise, 'The Big Dog' received a rematch at Greatest Royal Rumble though he had lost clean at WrestleMania.

While it was largely believed that the story would end at GRR at least, it was not so since the match saw a controversial finish.

With the kind of fan backlash the feud is receiving, it is time for WWE to wrap the story up once and for all, so that other Superstars can have their time in the Universal Title scene.
