3. Trouble In Paradise

If you recall, the entire Bobby Lashley/Lana/Rusev love triangle (with Liv Morgan dipping in to make it a square) was just abysmal, poor man’s Jerry Springer stuff. So why would the impending breakup between Lashley and Lana suddenly be compelling TV?

But yet, that’s what we’re apparently going to be subjected to, with Lashley now openly criticizing his storyline wife Lana for her constant squawking during his matches. Monday night, he rolled outside during his bout against No Way Jose to tell his wife to “please shut the hell up.” Despite a couple distractions, Lashley still defeated Jose cleanly.

Pop quiz: Who is the likeable one in this breakup? The charisma vacuum Lashley? Or the screeching harpy Lana?
