10 Most Repeated WWE Storylines
6. Adultery
WWE is hardly known for depicting healthy relationships: like a stereotypical Hollywood love story, most WWE romances burn out in tumultuous fashion.
Instead of presenting mature, amicable breakups, WWE routinely torpedoes on-screen relationships through jealous rages and acts of infidelity, real or imagined. Maybe it's better to burn out than fade away?
Made famous by the seminal feud between Hulk Hogan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage over Miss Elizabeth, this is an evergreen WWE enjoys coming back to with sickening glee.
Whether exploiting the real-life drama between Matt Hardy and Edge or showcasing AJ lee betraying John Cena, WWE loves mocking the notion of a happy couple riding off into the sunset. What do you think this is, a fairy tale? Yet that's exactly why we love it.
Part of this storyline's ongoing appeal is the absolute train wreck of watching two star-crossed lovers fall apart like an episode of The Jerry Springer Show. Add a dash of adultery to the mix? Now you're cooking with real heat!
Being cheated on is bad enough, but when your supposed partner's two-timing plays out publicly on live television? That's cold. There's no wishing them well in their future endeavours when that angle plays out.
