10 Worst WWE Feuds Of 2019

9. Mandy Rose Vs. Naomi

It was... less than ideal that the only major women's angle divorced from chasing the SmackDown division's title was over a man, but this particular skirmish coloured way too far outside the lines to even be a decent take on the love triangle.

Foreshadowing some of the sillier sex-based shenanigans to come over the year, Rose's attempts to lure Jimmy Uso away from his wife and former SmackDown Champion Naomi reached their, ahem, climax on the 15 January Raw when the two went to war in a hotel room apparently destined for desire. All three of them should have been left there with the segment producer to think about what they'd just f*cking done.

The premise was absurd - Rose teased Uso towards her so a paparazzi could catch them in the act, despite the fact that the skit was being filmed by (minimum) three cameras and broadcast to the world. So she didn't want him, but had revealed her plan to Naomi unless she was too thick to watch the show. Uso himself wasn't - he had his wife waiting in the attached bathroom waiting to strike. The same bathroom the paparazzi darted off into. So was he in on it? Was Mandy in on it? What was "it" anymore?

Fans certainly shouldn't have been.
