10 Times WWE Was Even Dumber Than WCW

2. And Why Was It Erick Rowan's Doppelgänger?

You are Roman Reigns.

You have been attacked backstage, and you were attacked. It's wrestling. You are contracted by WWE to play a babyface, but you're not that pig-sh*t thick. Something is up. And what's worse, this person - or even worse, a second party in cahoots with this person - has attacked you for a second time by driving a car into yours. You're on edge. You're scared. You're...

...only mildly curious. You're pissed, which is why you battered Buddy Murphy, but you're willing to hear Daniel Bryan and Rowan out. You are a man of honour, or a trusting dog. One of the two, or both. The pair are adamant of their innocence, and they have an explanation. Buddy Murphy was half-right. He saw a man who looked like Rowan quietly remove himself from the scene.

Erick Rowan's doppelgänger? What are the odds! A man who looked exactly like Rowan, only with a fake-looking beard, just happened to slip through the backstage security net and drive an unmanned forklift into a girder. And this man, who must watch WWE, else why would he have motive to hurt Roman Reigns, also guessed that he'd cut a backstage promo at a time at which WWE Superstars TM never cut backstage promos.

Steamed Hams and Roman Reigns also believes Principal Skinner.
