5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (May 11)

5. Beating The Traffic

WWE fans have, in recent years, become more tolerant of the things they deeply despise. The vociferous Royal Rumble 2014 and 2015 crowds sabotaged the eponymous main events to such a degree that both survive in infamy as all-time lows in the relationship between the audience and the organisation.

This year's Backlash main event was a fitting reversion to type, considering the fact it was the intended payoff to the stories those very battle royals kicked off. Roman Reigns was the runner up and winner respectively back then - how is he now the company's most high profile loser driving fans to the fire exits before his main event even concludes?

That's a question not just for the community at large but the highest level company executives. Kevin Dunn's pandering post-match cuts to the crowd didn't deliver on the usual diet of 'shocked' expressions, merely a parade of folk darting out of the seats to join the queuing masses that began to bail before the winning fall.

The uncharacteristically quick cut back to a knackered 'Big Dog' was dripping in pathos. Beaten down, exhausted and not even beloved by the live crowd for his efforts, he looked the polar opposite of a 'winner'. Again.
