10 On-Screen WWE Couples That Had No Chemistry
1. Dolph Ziggler & Lana
Good lord I hated this story.
After a fantastic 2014, Rusev and Lana came into 2015 with high hopes. Instead, the Bulgarian Brute and the Ravishing Russian were fed to John Cena before constituting one half of the worst WWE story of the year, the godawful love quadrangle with Dolph Ziggler and Summer Rae.
WWE was hell-bent on turning Lana babyface, and they decided to do this by splitting her and Rusev up and stripping Lana of everything that made her such a compelling character in the first place. She lost her strength, she lost her independence, and she lost her conviction. She even lost her suit dress. She was paired with Dolph Ziggler, and the two became the least compatible couple in WWE memory.
Everything about the duo was awkward, their interactions coming across like two people plucked off the street and asked to portray a fairly complex idea through camera. They held hands like people who had just discovered they had hands, and kissed in such a way that made kissing look like an impossible task.
The entire debacle set Lana back somewhat, and she has since been coupled back up with real-life fiancé Rusev in a much more natural pairing. Dolph Ziggler and Lana's relationship will go down as one of the biggest mistakes in WWE's recent history, as the complete lack of chemistry between the two was just as frustrating as it was difficult to watch.
