10 WWE Storylines That Made No Damn Sense In 2020
9. Stupid Ignorant Elias
Elias was an outsider to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship tournament back in May, even after defeating King Corbin in the first round. The semi-finals were likely his ceiling, although he wouldn't have expected a major injury to force him out of the tournament and out of action for several months. A Sheamus-instigated car accident was the kayfabe reason, a torn pectoral muscle the actual reason.
Jeff Hardy was eventually blamed for the accident before the red-headed truth came out, a piece of justice that played out on WWE TV. For whatever reason Elias missed that, and he turned heel upon returning by attacking Jeff, blaming the Charismatic Enigma for his buggered pectoral. Elias still thought Jeff was to blame, despite all the actual evidence and whatnot.
It is entirely possible that Elias doesn't watch WWE TV. Maybe he's too busy drifting, or whatever it is he does. Even so, you'd think someone would take Elias aside and explain to him that he's got the wrong guy, that it was Sheamus who caused the pile-up that took Elias out for five months. Elias blaming and attacking Jeff made no sense at all.
The feud was absolute sh*t too.
