Oh please, tell us that Monday’s latest segment involving the New Day and Titus O’Neil was the last one. That news alone might warrant an “up.”

It’s clear WWE is having its longest-reigning tag champs cool their collective heels in a strange “feud” with Titus, with each member of the trio beating O’Neil in singles competition. Titus has gone from wanting to join New Day to wanting to take one of their spots in the Royal Rumble. In each attempt, he’s been unsuccessful.

Of course, in WWE’s world, losing and getting made fun of is a precursor to a major push, so maybe Titus will be a new member of New Day after all.

In all seriousness, these segments have largely been painful and need to end with this definitive loss. It has gone from comical to purely sad.
