10 Most Annoying Things In WWE Right Now

An airing of grievances.

It's been well over a month since WrestleMania, and now that things have settled after the Superstar Shake-Up, it's safe to say that WWE fans are... well, not happy with things. But hey, what else is new? Wrestling fans always find something to complain about, especially when it comes to Vince's Pod of Bods (you, our valued readers of WhatCulture, should be very well aware of this).

However, when you compare the goodwill and enthusiasm fans had toward the product heading into WrestleMania to the annoyance and disdain toward it now, it's clear something's gone horribly awry in the last few weeks. Whether it was the Greatest Royal Rumble, Backlash, or just a handful of lackluster RAWs, it's clear that what WWE are doing right now is making fans very unhappy.

But it's not just any one thing. Indeed it's a series of little things that, in a vacuum seem mundane, but add up to an overall unsatisfying product that is making fans chant "beat the traffic" during the main event of a PPV.

If WWE want this dissent to stop soon, they should keep these grievances in mind.

10. Brock Lesnar's Absence

Strap yourselves in, people, it's time for another write-up about how Brock Lesnar's status as part-time champion is terrible. Yours truly does not like to beat horses, but you gotta call it like you see it.

Last year, before WrestleMania 33, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter revealed that once Brock Lesnar won the Universal Championship from Goldberg, he would hold it until the following 'Mania, where he would drop it to Roman Reigns in The Big Dog's once-and-for-all coronation (4realzies). Fans weren't happy about this prospect, but as WrestleMania 34 approached, and it was becoming clear the Brock was leaving to return to UFC, fans gritted their teeth and braced themselves for a Roman title run, content at least about the fact that a full-timer would hold RAW's world title.

And then Roman Reigns lost. And then he lost again. And now Brock Lesnar has not been seen or heard from in weeks.

Brock has been Universal Champion for 416 days at the time of writing this. He will easily beat CM Punk's modern day record by keeping up his brilliant strategy of not showing up to defend his title regularly.

That's horsecrap, and the fans know it's horsecrap.
