10 Worst WWE Storylines Of The Last 5 Years

For a time, it did actually seem as though WWE were attempting to have a bit of fun with the arrival of long-time staring artist Dexter Lumis back when he made his return to the company in August.

However, on the back of a few interesting Raw appearances, consisting of him initially being arrested in the crowd and subsequently kidnapping The Miz, things soon started to go south. And they proceeded to do so for a whopping four months!

The mystery as to why Lumis had chosen to target Miz in the first place became less interesting by the week. Then, when it was finally revealed that Lumis had bafflingly actually been originally hired by the A-Lister to stalk him as a way of getting more eyes on the Grand Slam Champion, instead of wrapping up the trundling story, the pair went on to continue their battle for a few more painful weeks.

Johnny Gargano's involvement in the never-ending story all but killed off any ounce of momentum he'd brought into his main roster return. Bronson Reed's own main roster debut was disappointingly thrown into the tired programme. And even the apparent pay-off of Lumis earning himself a WWE contract and the stalking money he was owed was soiled by Miz ultimately winning the latter back in an unwanted ladder match.

"Awesome" this was not.
