11 Things WWE Got Wrong In 2017
8. The Lack Of Bálor Club
Finn Bálor has gone backwards in 2017. The inaugural WWE Universal Champion made his return the night after WrestleMania, but that is where the positives end. Bálor was trapped in a regrettable feud with Bray Wyatt, one that ended with Finn dressed as a pumpkin and Wyatt with the mumps.
At least Finn was only dressed as a pumpkin. After arriving in early 2016, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows had a 2017 to forget. The Good Brothers started strong with a RAW Tag Team Championship win, but by October they were being sacrificed in the name of Halloween 'comedy'. It won't be surprising if they leave the company in 2018.
Would it have been so hard to put the three together? The WWE creative team may well be the only people on the planet who aren't desperate for Bálor, Gallows and Anderson to come together. The trio would be a merchandise machine, would provide three talented performers with direction and could potential reinvigorate a creatively stagnant WWE.
Instead, WWE chose not to do the blindingly obvious. Bálor is getting dangerously close to midcard purgatory, a place that Gallows and Anderson dearly wish they were near to.
What an immense waste.
