10 WWE Ideas So Awful Even Legends Couldn't Get Them Over
3. Kami
AJ Styles is a perfect professional wrestler because he's used his perfect professional wrestling first and foremost as a raison d'être on the WWE main roster. It's had to be that way - some of his storyline motivations since arrive in 2016 have been absolutely pitiful, and his scripting's been even more problematic than his own exasperation with US radio phone-in questions.
The latest crime against creativity forced upon the 'Phenomenal One' has been 'Kami', a p*ss-poor portmanteau of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn designed ostensibly to get under their skin. Scripted with such minimal effort, the line's failure to land resulted in the company employing brutal repetition until it gained traction.
Styles' promos became in-joke drinking games for fans watching and waiting for his tepid delivery of the wretched nickname in preparation for another wretched contest from another wretched feud. AJ will be fine when 'Kami' is finally allowed to fade away like a fart in the wind, just like he was when he last managed to escape a programme with Kevin Owens. The pair seem destined not to do good things together in WWE despite their undeniable gifts. Like the miserable moniker itself, it's a rare case where the company should legitimately stop forcing the issue.
