5 Rivalries WWE Should NOT Book In 2020 (And 5 They Should)
WWE should make sure that the second half of 2020 is better than the first.
2020 has been a unique year for WWE. For the first time in the company's history, they have conducted pay-per-views events without a live audience. The Boneyard match at WrestleMania 36 and the Money in the Bank ladder bout have received a positive response from the fans. Vince McMahon looks in no mood to stop irrespective of how tough the situation gets.
Although the ratings are at an all-time low, they may rise above the 2 million mark once the wrestling community gets used to the new stars and no live audience on the TV. Many fan favourites have ascended to the top in the past few weeks, and now, the writers should ensure that they do not lose their momentum in the remaining part of the year.
With several exciting pay-per-views like Extreme Rules, Hell in a Cell, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series set to happen in the second half of the year, the creative team should book some dream rivalries on RAW and SmackDown. However, there are a few feuds that they should avoid booking this year. Here's a look at five that should happen in 2020 and those that should NOT.
10. Should NOT Book - Otis Vs. Tucker
WWE managed to take everyone aback when they booked Otis to win the Money in the Bank ladder match this year. AJ Styles and Aleister Black were the runaway favorites to grab the elusive briefcase, but the creative team allowed the biggest underdog in the bout to win the match.
Whether Otis could cash it in successfully or not is another thing, but the writers should not book a rivalry between Otis and Tucker. The two superstars have been very entertaining as a tag team. Mandy Rose's involvement prompted the backstage officials to give Tucker less screen time, so Vince McMahon might be planning a betrayal angle between the two Heavy Machinery members.
This storyline would be excellent for the current period. However, in the long term, Tucker may get lost in the mix. Thus, the organization should avoid this feud and instead book Heavy Machinery to win the tag team titles with Otis cashing in his briefcase.The 2020 Mr. Money in the Bank had said the following words in his interview with Digital Spy a few days ago:
"If I get the briefcase, we're challenging for the Tag Team titles. I don't think there's a rule of what titles to challenge for, so we're going to challenge for the Tag Team titles, cash it in and that's what's going to happen."
