Where is WWE going with this?

WWE has been spinning their wheels with the Rusev versus Bobby Lashley storyline for quite a while and one has to wonder when exactly the rivalry is going to reach its boiling point. Also, there's the question of who will come out on top at the end of this feud, which is really quite a toss-up.

For example, Lana and Bobby Lashley started out the feud by publicly humiliating Rusev and physically getting the best of him week-in and week-out, but the dastardly duo has recently been falling victim to The Bulgarian Brute's continuous sneak attacks. While this has done a lot to help Rusev regain much-needed momentum and also solidified hom as a bonafide babyface, the story is beginning to unravel a bit. Lashley is losing the momentum that he had gained at the begnning of the story. Keep in mind that Lashley is one of WWE's legitimate fighters besides Lesnar and you can start to see why this is a bewildering move. In fact, Lashley would be much more at home in a match with Brock Lesnar for the WWE Title than being caught up in this love triangle story with Rusev and Lana.

In the end, it's working to shift Rusev upward and if that's WWE's intention than they should keep it going. If not, however, they need to seriously consider bringing this to an end and doing something else with each Superstar.
