6. The Power Of Love

What. The. Hell. Was. That?

Maria returns after seven years away from WWE and she and her husband (who apparently is now subservient to her and has taken her name) are on SmackDown to educate fans about the “power of love.” Sorry, Huey Lewis & the News tried that already.

Seriously though, what was that? Maybe when they expand on it on Tuesday, things will make sense, but you could hear the crowd react when they first came out, and then the reaction quickly dissipated as they spoke. Even a hot St. Louis crowd cooled to this strange promo.

We’ll give it another chance, obviously, but this couldn’t have been the start the company wanted.

He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
