10 Promising Recent WWE Storylines Which Ultimately Fizzled Out

Ok, so 'fizzled out' is a bit of an odd term to use for this feud considering Mysterio and Andrade have had about a million matches by now. However, despite so many excellent encounters, the story never really went anywhere.

For a while Andrade and Vega would taunt Mysterio and berate him for being lucha libre’s past and boast about Andrade being the future. But that was just that. There was no storyline progression, no big pay-off, not even a big pay per view blow-off match.

Which is such a shame because this had the generation vs. generation element that WWE loves to do. This had the genuine emotion, the stakes, the big match feel needed to create an amazing long term angle. But WWE had to abandon it so they could put Rey on the path to losing one of his eyes.
