10 Realistic Storylines That Would Be Perfect For Today's WWE

5. Nikki Bella Acknowledging The Allegations Of Backstage Politicking

Shortly after allegations of Nikki Bella using backstage politics to extend her Divas Championship reign first surfaced, Nikki was swift to deny them. In doing so, Nikki ruined a golden opportunity to make use of these allegations to elevate her heel character to new heights. If there€™s one thing that everyone can agree on, it€™s that no one likes to see nepotism and cronyism, especially in positions of prominence. Just as people are so quick to condemn politicians and other public figures for using their power to help those in their inner circles, so too are they to condemn high-profile athletes for using their power to benefit their families. Imagine the reactions she would€™ve gotten if she said something along the lines of, €˜Yes, I used my boyfriend to keep this title. Deal with it!€™ Since the audience wouldn€™t be able to actually do anything against her, they€™d channel their anger towards her character into greater hatred for her, and thus greater sympathy for her opponents. Even if these allegations were to end up being proven false, the remote possibility of them being true is enough for people to channel the very real hatred of nepotism that exists in everyone into booing Nikki Bella and making her an excellent heel character.
