10 Ways WWE Are Destroying Their Own Roster

2. The Past Screwing The Present

Triple H and his gang of degenerates burying The Revival at Raw 25 was a joke. This was no "harmless bit of fun," but a complete burial of one of the world's greatest tag teams, and the last thing Dash and Dawson needed after a year destroyed by serious injury. Now, their interest levels are lower than they've ever been, and they've become every bit as listless as their current feud partners - Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows.

Things like this happen all the time, and they never yield positive results for anyone but those handing out the beatdown. From The Rock beating CM Punk at the 2013 Royal Rumble to Goldberg smashing Kevin Owens at Fastlane 2017, these instances inevitably damage the full-time performer in the name of nostalgia, and the victims never get their heat back.

It's frustrating, because while the shovel-wielding old-timers shuffle back to semi-retirement, the full-timers are left to pick up whatever remains of their shattered momentum. It's no wonder Dash and Dawson can't get over at the moment, but hey, great job on making the New Age Outlaws look good, WWE...
