20 Times WWE Was An Absolute Mess In 2019
2. The Ballad Of Rusev, Lana, and Bobby
While the online reaction to Rusev's current storyline with Lana and Bobby Lashley has been largely negative, Lana's ex is currently more over than he has been since Rusev Day was a thing. His crowd reactions are through the roof once more, the YouTube clips do good numbers, and 'The Bulgarian Brute' is absolutely making the most of all that's handed to him. He's the best.
When it's bad, this storyline is p*ss-funny. Things like Lana screaming "MACHKA BRATS!" and that Lashley massage scene provoke laughter above all else, while Rusev's revenge beatdowns on Lashley feel genuinely cathartic. As a storyline, it's the best of both worlds: so-bad-it's-good one week, legitimately good the next, and it must never end.
It will, eventually, but you know Vince McMahon is having a riot with this stuff as well.
