3. Repeating The Joke

When you see something stupid and preventable, just remember that WWE employs something like 25-30 writers to come up with that idiocy.

In this case, it was Curt Hawkins crawling under the ring during the men’s Royal Rumble, about an hour or so after Zelina Vega literally did the same thing. And then Titus O’Neil followed him under the ring to give “chase.” So naturally, they entered the ring and Hawkins eliminated O’Neil, only to get tossed by Samoa Joe himself.

See? Hilarious.

Just sheer laziness from the writers on this one, and completely inexcusable.
