10 Candidates For WWE’s Bizarre Post-WrestleMania 35 Push
1. Tye Dillinger
SmackDown Live, Tuesday, May 21.
Having brutally attacked R-Truth following the Perfect Truth's loss via fluke roll-up to Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly last week, Tye Dillinger enters the arena, nine days removed from sending a tweet with the words 'Is Perfect The Same As Elite?' complete with a thinking-face emoji. He is out there to Explain His Actions To The WWE Universe, but first, as mandated in the script, he pauses because he can't hear himself talk over the jeers. There are no jeers - people are mostly confused as to why Dillinger turned heel - but he does this anyway, because it is in the script.
Dillinger climbs up the turnbuckle, and motions to raise his hands - before a sly smirk materialises on his face. "That's not the Tye Dillinger I know," Byron Saxton rues mournfully.
"I guess you could say," Dillinger says, removing the pair of sunglasses that have suddenly appeared over his face in a brightly-lit arena with lights that, if anything, are dimmed to a dull primary colour.
"My career here in the WWE has been...imperfect."
He goes on to explain that it wasn't anything personal. R-Truth was just in his way. He has a new mission statement: to rid WWE of its imperfections, once and for all.
