10 Obvious Mistakes WWE Keep Making

3. Forgetting Recent History

What a guy Kevin Owens is.

No, seriously, how forgiving is he? After months and months of being bullied by Braun Strowman on Raw (including being thrown off a steel cage and having his rental car destroyed), KO was willing to fight the good fight and double-clothesline Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose from behind this past Monday.

On top of that, Owens was somehow able to convince fellow Strowman victims Jinder Mahal and Elias to join the fray and put their bodies on the line for a man who had been ridiculing them all year. If only everyone could be as magnanimous as those guys, eh?

This doesn't make much sense, and it happens all the time. WWE forget their recent history as though it's an unimportant nuisance only getting in the way of the next planned segment. Elias, Mahal and Owens should want to see Braun get his comeuppance for the way he treated them, not rush to his aid only because he's suddenly now a fellow heel.
