10 Worst WWE Mistakes In 2018 (So Far)

6. Not Booking KO & Sami Zayn As A Full-Time Tag-Team

This, partly, goes hand-in-hand with the previous point.

It's admirable that WWE want to give Sami Zayn more mic time and develop him as a solo act, it really is. Having him clown around and suck the energy out a room in segments like the aforementioned disaster with Bobby Lashley isn't the way to go however.

Similarly, booking Kevin Owens to act cowardly in front of Stephanie McMahon is downplaying his own purpose on Raw. Maybe it's something neither man wants to do (and they've hinted at this in promos on TV), but KO and Sami would make an excellent tag-team full-time.

They're a good fit together, would be a much better choice to hold the gold than the quirky Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt team, and it'd save them from mediocrity elsewhere on the show. Whether they'd like to admit it or not, Owens and Zayn aren't doing anything worthwhile on their own right now.
