WWE is not irredeemably stupid or written on the back of a beer mat, much as it might feel that way at times.

A lot of thought has gone into the Roman Reigns Vs. Brock Lesnar programme, and the writers actually seem to be having a bit of fun crafting the Randy Orton/Riddle relationship. It barely qualifies as comedy, but it's almost involuntarily fun. They have clear chemistry, the in-ring is great, and even if you're not fond of either man, particularly, you can tell that the creative team are having a decent day at work for once.

WWE is irredeemably stupid and written on the back of a beer mat much of the time, which brings one to the career of Shotzi. It is a patchwork quilt of sh*tty WWE cliche: loses last name, defeats champions multiple times without earning "championship opportunity", loses partner, loses what got her over by turning heel nonsensically, loses virtually every match thereafter on the few occasions on which she is booked.

Unless she finds a partner out of nowhere and is added to the filler Gauntlet for a meaningless accomplishment, she's knackered.

Or slightly less knackered.
