10 Times WWE Quit Storylines For Weird Reasons

10. Rey Mysterio Committing His Future Leaves KO High And Dry

It's been a massively stop-start few years for the former Universal Champion, with it regularly feeling as though Kevin Owens is simply being used as a utility man to fill in the blanks rather than a star who could realistically take up a spot as one of WWE's current top stars.

Another clear example of this most definitely being the case in recent memory came during the early days of the crowd-less era in the company. KO famously battled Seth Rollins within an empty Performance Center at WrestleMania 36 and was set to continue his war with The Architect in the months that followed. That was, as reported by the Wrestling Observer Radio around the time, until Rey Mysterio finally decided to re-sign on the dotted line and commit his future to Vince McMahon's promotion.

As we all know, the former World Heavyweight Champion would kick-start a never-ending programme with the Monday Night Messiah shortly after. But you do have to feel for KO. He'd just stolen the show with his fellow former NXT Champion and was then nudged into obscurity for his troubles due to a legend deciding to stay put.
