8 Recent WWE Storylines That Didn’t Go Anywhere

6. Bayley & Sasha Banks Acting As "Frenemies"

This is a unique one, because there's still a chance WWE might do something with Sasha Banks and Bayley's on/off friendship angle that's been running since the latter's return from injury last September. Yes, it's been that long, and Raw's writers still haven't managed to book any sort of development outside occasional tension.

At this point, the storyline is a dead duck, and it'd take a miracle for fans to rekindle their interest.

When the angle launched, there were hopes that one of the women would turn heel on the other and freshen up their stale acts with a sh*t-kicking feud. That hasn't happened, and there's been stumbling blocks even when Banks and Bayley have come to blows at Elimination Chamber or argued on Raw.

Should one turn now, it'll come too late in the day to make it impactful. Crowds are barely responding to either woman as it is, and that's due to WWE's lack of forward momentum in the story. When pretty much nothing is happening, they can't blame fans for yawning.
