10 Ways WWE Was Made Worse By Being Lazy
7. Recycled Storylines
Imagine if Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman simply got along.
They go on Ride Along adventures with one another. Seth buys him a present, asks Braun to close his eyes, and hands him a Shield riot gear outfit. Seth says "I know you always talk about getting these hands, but how about you get this fist, buddy?" and they do the Shield fist thing to cement a lifelong friendship that sees them take on the world as RAW Tag Team Champions. Seth invites Braun to live with him, like in the end of Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and they laugh long into the night, in their man cave, at Will Ospreay's various Twitter gaffes.
The End.

And it isn't just the tag-team-partners-but-they-don't-see-eye-to-eye! sh*t, it's all the other sh*t. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross are different, so it's funny! Randy Orton is preying on the family of AJ Kingston!
Drew McIntyre has a new pal he's suddenly made friends with!
