10 WWE Plans Doomed From The Start
7. Titus Worldwide
Apollo Crews looked utterly bewildered when Titus O'Neil took his first selfie with him after another moribund Monday Night Raw appearance in 2017. It speaks not to Crews' lack of range but the group's abject lack of success that that the expression hasn't left his face since then.
The persistent failures of the trio (duo? Dana Brooke walked but Akira Tozawa never technically did..) can be put down to their place in WWE's muddled lower card. Spot-fillers and warm bodies in an era mostly without jobbers, O'Neil and Crews spend more time counting spotlights than shining underneath them, but have a gimmick ostensibly based on being a "brand" exponentially beyond their substantially more successful peers.
Broken cogs in a broken machine, the company's attempt to fix them with token wins has done more to damage the opponents on the losing end of the losers. The act is as inadvertently toxic for those up against it as it is for those trapped within it.
It's little wonder Titus O'Neil attempted to set up residence under the Saudi Arabian ring at Greatest Royal Rumble just a few years after hitting the deck carrying a beer keg (!) around the NXT one - it's the only part of the squared circle where he can shield himself from total humiliation.
