#4 Mansoor falls on WWE RAW

If you didn't see much of WWE NXT or 205 Live for the past year and a half, you wouldn't know just how strong someone like Mansoor was presented. The man went undefeated for over a year.

Not only that, but he even beat WWE mainstays like Cesaro and Dolph Ziggler. Add to that Mansoor's 51-man battle royal win at Super ShowDown 2019, and it seemed that WWE was setting this man up for great things.

Cut to his RAW debut in May, and he loses to Sheamus via DQ. Disqualification. An undefeated streak lasting two years ended because The Celtic Warrior was attacked by Humberto Carrillo.

Why? The build was for nothing. It would be different, possibly, if WWE hadn't mentioned his run in the company up to that point. Let's be honest, the amount of viewers RAW gets every week dwarfs the numbers of 205 Live. They could've gotten away with it.

But they didn't. They just ended one of the longest undefeated streaks in recent memory for no reason. Now, Mansoor's not in a bad spot. At this point, he's actually only been pinned one time by his now tag team partner Mustafa Ali.

The future looks bright for young Mansoor. At 25 years of age, he's got a great career ahead of him. The dynamic he's got going with Ali seems promising. We'll see where it goes.


#3 Charlotte Flair's pay-per-view streak ends

Alright, this could be a little controversial for a few reasons. It's not an undefeated streak in the normal sense. Still, Charlotte Flair was undefeated on pay-per-view heading into WWE Fastlane 2017. She'd won 16 in a row and was one event away from WrestleMania.

Imagine someone stepping up to challenge the reigning Queen of WWE, someone who's been unbeatable on pay-per-view events, at The Grandest Stage of Them All. To be able to end that streak would be one of the greatest moments someone could have at WrestleMania.

Well, someone did end that streak of hers, and we did indeed crown a brand new RAW Women's Champion in the process. Unfortunately, it wasn't at WrestleMania. Bayley didn't even beat Charlotte Flair for the title at WWE Fastlane. No, The Hugger captured the RAW Women's Championship after beating Flair on an episode of Monday Night RAW.

Flair would head into WWE Fastlane as the challenger...and lose to Bayley. It was one of those moments that felt like the company wanting to swerve fans for the sake of swerving them instead of letting a story build.

Wouldn't it have meant more if they'd waited for WrestleMania? Bayley winning her first main roster WWE title at the biggest show of the year would've been massive. Add to that ending Charlotte Flair's pay-per-view streak, and it's a moment that we'd still be talking about to this day.

Now? We barely remember that she had a streak to begin with. Everyone in the story came out fine, but despite title victories in her main roster career, Bayley didn't solidify herself as a top star until 2019. Maybe if this story had played out a bit differently, that wouldn't have been the case?
