4. Brock Lesnar Vs Ricochet

According to one of her recent t-shirts, Becky Lynch didn't "care about your stupid feelings".

She is the perfect figurehead of this organisation after all.

WWE, in a move far more mind-melting than the one that followed later in the show, sent a wrestler who can literally do things that nobody else on the roster can and fed him to Brock Lesnar because his size made that part of the story believable.

It was the weirdest f*cking thing.

WWE crafted a storyline for this match before the Royal Rumble, then abandoned it entirely on television. Then, staff were paid to shoot and cut a magnificent pre-match promo video in which 'The One And Only' questioned the doubters and reminded the world of everything he was capable of. So much so that he posited the prospect of the WrestleMania main event changing. But nothing changes about WWE.

Any warm body could have satisfied the brief Ricochet was tasked. Only in this twisted organisation would they select the man they've cast (and will continue to do so) as a 'Real Life Superhero'.
