10 Totally Stupid Things WWE Has ALREADY DONE Since WrestleMania 34

It was really, really hard to try and work out the potential permutations ahead of Greatest Royal Rumble's championship-laden line-up. WWE cleared the muddy waters somewhat with an almost combatively inconsequential card on the night itself, but Backlash still looms with a title match that will either see a secondary strap migrate to SmackDown Live! or is, alternatively, predictable as f*ck.

Neither are preferable, but that's just one of the muddles the company created with the ludicrous placement of this year's Superstar Shake-up and the dispiriting post-WrestleMania return to dual-brand pay-per-views.

WrestleMania 34, Greatest Royal Rumble and Backlash all happening within a 30 day window was always likely to cause a jam, but panicked sh*t-stirring initiated by a Vince McMahon decree made many of the superstars look lost and Raw General Manager Kurt Angle appear every bit the idiot Triple H caustically claimed him to be in their 'Show Of Shows' pre-match video.

The very nature of the rather mild-mannered trading floor further undermines just how b*stard insane everybody seems to go around Survivor Series time. There's little reason for the feud as its happening, and even less during these periods of such laboured plot.
