5 reasons why WWE has not been entertaining after WrestleMania 34

With SummerSlam right around the corner, many members of the WWE Universe are sitting back and wondering when exactly the WWE is going to get good again. The greatest thing about WWE or pro wrestling fans is the passion they have. They constantly talk about the product, debate about it and suggest ways it can improve.

Whether it's because certain stars don't move business, aren't 'over' or vice versa, WWE management will carefully pick and choose which stars are featured acts on TV and which stars will continue to be underutilised.

Although that won't prevent some fans from hoping for the best, it's time that we realize that some things in WWE are almost inevitable even if we think the company is making the wrong decision.

Even fixing one or two would help! Here, you'll find just five examples of what exactly it is that's making the WWE so boring right now. So here are the reasons why.

#5 Finn Balor not being pushed

Finn has not received his Universal title rematch yet

If you've been puzzled by the bizarre booking of Finn Balor on the main roster, it may be because Vince McMahon isn't a fan of him.

Since WrestleMania 34 - he lost the ladder match for the IC title at the Greatest Royal Rumble, was left off of Backlash, lost the Money in the Bank Ladder match, then finally won a match at Extreme Rules against Baron Corbin, and lost the qualifying match to become the number one contender for the Universal Title the following night on Raw.

The further Balor gets into his main roster run, the more it appears he will never reach the Universal Title picture again. But we've seen what being labeled as 'not over' or 'boring' did to Cesaro's singles career, and the booking of Balor indicates he will follow a similar career path where McMahon doesn't have enough faith in him to make him a legitimate or consistent main event star.

#4 NXT stars failing on the main roster

Bobby has been lost in the mix

Some stars who really didn't do much of note in NXT like Baron Corbin, Braun Strowman and Elias, have had much more success on the main roster than stars like Bobby Roode and Finn Balor.

While that may be a harsh reality for some to accept, there have been dozens of cases of NXT standouts failing to reach that same level on the main roster, including but not limited to the likes of former studs such as Sami Zayn, Bayley, and Tye Dillinger. The jury is still out on some stars, including Shinsuke Nakamura.

The bottom line is that the audiences for NXT and WWE are more different than you might think. Therefore, when watching the current NXT product, it's not pessimistic if you think to yourself, "the main roster is going to ruin some of these stars whenever they get called up".

That's reality. Unfortunate - yes, but reality, nonetheless.

#3 The days of Bray Wyatt are over

Bray is currently in a tag team with Woken Matt Hardy

This may be a tough pill to swallow - Bray Wyatt's best days are probably behind him.

Minor alterations, like the instant fail that was his 'Sister Abigail' alter-ego have only worsened his stance in the eyes of fans who once labeled him as innovative and unique due to his gimmick which was a welcome change from the status quo in WWE.

Wyatt was looking good being booked as a tag team champion with Matt Hardy. Their title reign got over this past Sunday at the hands of The B-Team. WWE has a long history of misusing incredibly talented stars, and it looks like Wyatt is the next one to fit that bill, with his best days clearly behind him and little chance of that changing.

There are no clear-cut storylines or feuds lined up for him, and with more talent making its way to the main roster, it will be difficult for Wyatt to stand out.

#2 The Universal Champion isn't around

Brock Lesnar is set to defend the Universal title at SummerSlam

The last time Brock was champion (he reigned from SummerSlam 2014 to WrestleMania 31), he only defended the title twice - once at Night of Champions and once at Royal Rumble. He wasn't even around during the fall, when he likes to go hunting.

This time, it has been more difficult, as Raw and SmackDown have only half the stars the WWE had back then.

If Lesnar really holds the Universal Title after SummerSlam, it means the Universal Championship won't be seen for a long time once again. That has been a big reason for the lack of entertainment in the WWE recently.

Meanwhile the IC Title will be treated as the top belt on Raw, and that didn't work out so well in the past.

#1 Roman Reigns is still 'The Guy'

Roman still hasn't got over with the crowd yet

The company's long running plan to crown Reigns as the Universal Champion is not going to change simply because a small pocket of fans will throw a fit if that happens. Sorry to burst your bubble - but Roman Reigns is going to be The Guy in WWE because that's what Vince McMahon wants.

Since his loss at WrestleMania this year, Reigns won against Samoa Joe at Backlash (main event), won against Jinder Mahal at the Money in the Bank PPV, and lost to Bobby Lashley at Extreme Rules. But then again he won a triple threat match against Drew and Balor the following night on Raw.

That's not to say he'll win 16 world titles or bury other talents as a result. It's just that he'll consistently be featured in major matches and storylines until someone steps up to take his place, and that may not happen for another five years or more.
