10 Biggest WWE Creative Mistakes Of 2017
9. Kane Squashing Finn
Only Vince McMahon will be able to shed any light on exactly why Finn Balor lost to a 50-year-old Kane inside five minutes on Raw, 24 hours after beating - and sharing one of the matches of the year with - AJ Styles.
The rumour mill encourages to believe that this decision was the result of the chairman's conviction that Finn just isn't over enough to command a Monday Night Raw main event spot, putting paid to his chances of fighting Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble.
That can be argued, but even if the Demon King isn't rocking anyone's boat, was there seriously nobody better to feed to the recently returned Big Red Machine for a squash match than a former Universal Champion (and, by most accounts, all round swell guy)?
Even if those reports are wide of the mark, and Finn does end up getting in the ring with the Beast Incarnate next month, who is going to take him seriously now? If you can't beat Kane, then you've absolutely no chance of getting the better of the Universal Champ.
