10 Wrestling Feuds With Unexpectedly Ridiculous Stories
2. A Revived Demon Stumbles In The Closing Stages
In a particularly Extreme case of be careful what you wish for, the long-awaited comeback of not only Finn Bálor to the main roster landscape, but the Demon persona that hadn't been seen in an age could've provided WWE with a much needed new addition at the top of the card.
It didn't, obviously, because this was Vince McMahon in 2021. And instead the call was made to have the former Universal Champion look like a complete and utter idiot on the PLE stage during an eventual showdown with Roman Reigns over the top strap.
After an hilarious mid-match "resurrection" which saw the challenger flail around like a fish attempting to stay alive on dry land, Bálor's theme began to play out as he scaled the top-rope for a title-winning coup de grâce.

And the most ridiculous part of it all? The company just moved on like nothing had even happened in the wake of The Head of the Table taking advantage of a poorly put together ring.
