First, a joke.

An Irishman, Swiss wrestling machine, MMA bad-ass and natural, smug heel walk into a bar. They find a quiet corner, get a round of drinks in and set about the task of bemoaning their status in WWE. That's it, that's all that happens. Terrible joke, right? It's not the only thing that's terrible.

WWE have just signed one of the most lucrative TV deals in history, are announcing stadium shows left and right, and have the perfect mix between the casually appealing Brock Lesnar as Universal Champion and hardcore fan wet dream AJ Styles as WWE Champ. Everything should be great right now, but it's not.

There are some on the roster spinning their wheels midway through 2018, and a fair bunch must be wondering what they have to do before the people employed to write storylines for them start coming through. As painful as it is to admit, it seems the creative team don't have a clue how to book these men and women properly.

It must suck to be constantly undermined by poor writing...
