When you watch your favorite TV show, whether it's Walking Dead or Better Call Saul, you have to remember that the writers get a lot of time to come up with storylines. WWE is a constant wheel that keeps turning, and since there is no off season, the writers have to keep churning out storylines on a daily basis.
When you have a tournament of this nature, you do not really need a storyline. You can just have two performers from the WWE roster take each other on in competitive matches.

Sometimes, that is all that is needed for performers to connect with an audience as the G1 tournament proved to us recently. While stories can always be told by the writers backstage, the performers in the ring can also tell a very compelling story if they're given the chance to showcase their wares.
