4. Flip Reversed Without Reason

Despite knowing that she'd be on the recieving end of one of the biggest pops of the night at SummerSlam, WWE decided to put Nikki Bella on the heel team with Alexa Bliss and Natalya.

However, by the time SmackDown like rolled around, she was a sympathetic babyface getting attacked by Carmella in one of the most confusing double turns in years.

WWE treated Nikki as if she'd been a face ever since she walked through the curtain at SummerSlam, despite her fighting for the heel team. Do they not know the difference between good and bad? Renee Young simply got in the ring and interviewed her as if she was a good lass... there needs to be a reason for her turn at least, right?

Poor storytelling all round from WWE here...
