8 Awful WWE Feuds That Choked The Life Out Of Fans

6. Rusev Vs. Dolph Ziggler

Think Lana's current transformation from mouthy valet into fully-fledged pro wrestler is clumsy now? Well, take a look back to her last split from Rusev and consider just how cringeworthy, unrealistic and flat out dull the messy romance merry-go-round in 2015 was. Thank God TMZ broke the news that Rusev and Lana were engaged in real life.

Had the nosy celeb-hounding outlet not done so, then WWE may have continued trying to convince people that Rusev was content to replace Lana with Summer Rae and watch her cavort with Dolph Ziggler. On that note, wasn't Ziggler supposed to be the babyface? Nothing screams 'good guy' like stealing another man's girl then playing tongue tennis with her in front of him, it seems.

This whole saga was just awful, sub-soap opera nonsense that did nothing to help anyone involved and actually made both male wrestlers look like complete idiots. WWE dropped the ball big time here, so much so that Lana didn't even acknowledge her fling with Dolph when she quietly reunited with Rusev.
