10 Totally Stupid Things WWE Has ALREADY DONE Since WrestleMania 33

10. Finn Bálor's Booking

Finn Bálor, as most had expected, made his triumphant return on the post-WrestleMania RAW. He carried the brunt of a tag team main event opposite Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe alongside...Seth Rollins. The same Seth Rollins who put him on the shelf for months, but who he had to team with because he's a babyface now and all babyfaces in WWE are just good pals.

To be fair, Bálor did shoot Rollins something approaching a weary glance - but that was about the only sensible thing Bálor did for weeks. He scored the pin over United States Champion Owens, but either forgot or didn't care to stake a claim for his meaningless title. Maybe he doesn't watch the product. If he did, he'd know that pinning a champion in a non-title match grants one a title shot. It's only happened 800 times in recent memory.

Bálor then wrestled Jinder Mahal and Curt Hawkins for no discernible reason whatsoever. That was presumably preferable to fighting Owens for a belt which has meant more than jack sh*t for only a few months during the last ten years. Of course, he couldn't challenge Owens because there aren't so much logic gaps in WWE as gaping chasms - and despite the endless TV time with which to play, WWE is absolutely incapable of scripting an expansive, shared universe narrative.

Bálor has since remembered that he never lost the Universal Title, and has recently staked a claim to it - but it's all just an afterthought. He's obviously not that bothered - so why should we be?
