5 Current WWE Angles That Are Going NOWHERE

5. The Riott Squad Are "Out Of Control"

Ruby Riott has talent. She's shown that on NXT and in some of the matches she's worked since moving up to the main roster. The sad fact here is that her Riott Squad alliance with Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan is about as threatening as one could expect a female J.O.B Squad to be.

Younger fans should know that's not a favourable comparison.

Each week, viewers are told that Ruby and pals are unhinged, out of control and running roughshod over everything in their path. They have no respect for other people's personal possessions, and they're super-dangerous. Hmm, where's the evidence of that? Throwing paint at Natalya's locker and then cowering away from her, Bayley and Sasha Banks is hardly dominance.

It's the booking that's letting the Squad down here. They're just sort of there on Raw without any purpose; none of the three look in the same league as Ronda Rousey or Sasha Banks, and they're constantly written to indulge in teenage angst rather than work proper, effective scenarios.
