10 Worst WWE Feuds Of 2019

4. Ember Moon Vs. Fire & Desire

Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville achieved much in 2019, despite being booked as bad as any featured act on either brand.

Labelled Fire & Desire (sh*t), they were forced to drag the a*se out of the wretched aforementioned love rival programme between Rose and Naomi (sh*tter), asked to do countless jobs to inferior talents (sh*tter still) and even briefly forced into teasing the possibility of a romance with each other in something of a depressing inevitability (sh*ttest of all).

Abysmal, the lot of it, but none of the above had a stench as potent as their bullying bit with Ember Moon. Worst still, this was WWE genuinely trying their best - Moon was pencilled in for a SummerSlam Women's Championship match, with this being her tee-up programme.

Moon was a 'Shenom' in NXT, not so much other as other-worldly, taking wrestling's old fascination with parts unknown and harnessing that into a contemporary human equivalent that just happened to take the strengths and aesthetics of elements beyond this mortal realm.

Or, "Space Sh*t", as her talent notes probably read through the Vince McMahon filter.

F*ck all that then, as her real-life interest in video games was brought to screen via the heels smashing her Nintendo Switch backstage during the 11 June SmackDown. Moon responded as if they'd just butchered her family and took revenge the following week by smashing their doughnuts up in another behind-the-scenes dust-up. She-nominal.
