10 Specific Ways WWE Stars Can Recover From Awful Booking
6. Tye Dillinger
How can you recover from an ailment not suffered?
WWE scores spectacular own goals with the impressive frequency of Frank Sinclair in this Network Era, not least of which the writes-itself role of Tye Dillinger. WWE is weirdly reluctant to allow anybody to win - even Roman Reigns! - for reasons that remain unfathomable. Perhaps the concern, ironically, stems from a fear of ruining the defeated performer's credibility. Or perhaps WWE simply wanders blindly from one TV show to the next with no regard for any long-term narrative coherence.
In any event, Dillinger excels at losing - he's sympathetic, or was, and wrestles with a dramatic, last-stand sense of heroic desperation - so use his unique selling point by actually using him, to put over the emerging heel likes of Andrade Almas and Big Cass, if only to direct the bumbling oaf away from Daniel Bryan.
WWE enjoys spite. Tye Dillinger represents an opportunity to be spiteful, and they do so by simply ignoring his existence - an existence that could be used to actually make the heels of the blue brand a more legitimate proposition.
