2. Wasting Time?

One of the criticisms about Bobby Lashley’s return to WWE has been the lack of a storyline, but this budding feud with Sami Zayn isn’t quite doing it – not yet at least.

So far, the only thing Lashley has said came in an interview last week where he talked about his three older sisters. (Boring.) And then this week, Sami cut a promo railing against Lashley for giving him vertigo and targeting him because he’s jealous. And now Zayn is bringing Bobby’s sister’s to Raw next week to interview them.

Then, just to add something meatier, Zayn cost Lashley a shot at winning a spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match.

This could be interesting, but it just seems to stupid to work. It feels like it’s a trainwreck waiting to happen. And it also feels like this feud is just something to occupy time rather than anything special. Prove this wrong, WWE.
