10 Times WWE Mocked What Fans Hated

10. Erick Rowan's Spider

Once the Wyatt Family disbanded, Erick Rowan had a hard time finding his way in WWE.

He served as Daniel Bryan's heater for a while, but his glass ceiling lowered further once they split. In an attempt to revive him in 2019, Rowan carried a cage everywhere he went. The bit played out for weeks, leading fans to doubt that it would ever pay off.

They were right to do so.

After leading the fans on for a while, Rowan unveiled the cage's contents to No Way Jose and company. "Don't you wanna see my friend?" the giant exclaimed as he strived to get a giant toy spider over. What little intrigue was left in the angle dissipated with the dull reveal. Rowan explained the idea was to garner sympathy from fans, and creative decided the Halloween prop was good enough.

Fans were far from impressed, and so was WWE.

One week later, Drew McIntyre had the privilege of destroying the cage, to which fans erupted. WWE could have gone forward with pushing Rowan's storyline, but instead, he was rarely used and soon released. The spider's destruction was WWE acknowledging a bad idea and putting it to rest, which the fans were more than excited to see when it happened.
