10 WWE Storylines That Were Only Good For One Moment
5. Brand Warfare 2017
It's fundamentally pretty f*cking stupid when, every November without fail, wrestlers suddenly start giving a sh*t about which show they're on to such an extent that they'll literally fight for it and against those on the opposite side.
That doesn't mean very occasionally - literally once - it can't be entertaining.
After a fairly milquetoast set-up to an awesome Raw Vs SmackDown Survivor Series match in 2016, the company went harder on the hostilities second time around. In a shocking conclusion to the October 23rd 2017 edition of Monday Night Raw, Shane McMahon declared that the show was "under siege" and set his troops on an unsuspecting Raw roster.
A series of shots found the crew raiding the locker rooms, parking lots and anywhere else the Raw wrestlers were hanging out. Strength in numbers overwhelmed the red brand over and over again, even when Shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins tried to get the jump. It ended with General Manager Kurt Angle being dragged out to the ring to be verbally humiliated by McMahon before they exited.
It was so pointless. But it ruled.
