10 Ways WWE Has Dropped The Ball Since WrestleMania 39

The story was there: Trish Stratus was fed up of not being thanked for her part in paving the way for the women of today in the industry and took those frustrations out on a Becky Lynch who she felt had wrongly taken credit for starting the "Women's Revolution".

Sadly, though, what could have been a gripping battle between two of the biggest legends in all of women's wrestling ended up becoming a drawn-out and uninspiring feud.

Eventually bringing Zoey Stark in as the WWE Hall of Famer's hard-hitting sidekick was an intelligent call, at least, with the one-time NXT talent getting the chance to connect with the main roster audience alongside two of the company's top names.

However, 'The Man' and her iconic rival didn't really click in the majority of their encounters or promo back-and-forths, and WWE's refusal to give them the SummerSlam stage this rivalry that properly started a week after 'Mania 39 (!) needed left tired audiences begging for its conclusion by the time Payback came around.

And it was here when the two top class workers finally reminded folks what they were truly capable of during a brutal steel cage war.

If only WWE had booked this captivating finale a few months before this "dream" program had completely ran out of steam, eh.
