10 Worrying Trends WWE Need To End

When this first was announced, it was supposed to be three superstars who could crossover each week. Fine, a decent surprise to see who those will be. Then according to WWE, “Lars Sullivan evidently persuaded The Chairman to expand the limit to four.” Apparently somebody else convinced him that numbers mean nothing and neither does the wildcard rule.

Instead of a fun crossover each week, it has turned into shoving top guys on Raw and SmackDown to the point identifying the two is only done by day of the week and show length. Kofi and Roman have appeared on basically every Raw since this started and it is starting to get old. Remember what happened last time when Roman was made to be unstoppable? Everybody turns on the star because they want something refreshing.

This comes at a time where getting over is already challenging. Now add in the wildcard rule, and we have divided the roster further. Nobody gets TV time weekly unless they’re being pushed hard (Kevin Owens) or are already huge stars (Roman). That is a problem for a roster that already feels more at home on NXT. Hopefully there is some truth to the wildcard dying.

And let us not forget one of the reasons why Kevin Owens is getting pushed is partly to take Shane McMahon off of our screens. We only had to scream at them whilst Shane got practically two hours a week of time. And one of Shane’s signature, entertainment sapping tactics was to start off the show droning on and inevitably getting interrupted. Which brings us to the final trend.
