Why WWE WrestleMania 37 Has Had The Worst Build EVER

Braun Strowman Stupid Shane McMahon

Braun Strowman is stupid, and Shane McMahon has reminded him of this across several weirdly low-energy promos riddled with slurring and absent-minded wandering. To prove that he isn't stupid, Strowman selected a Steel Cage match to settle their conflict. But because WWE itself is stupid, and has bastardised the stip meant to thwart interference by making interference mandatory, Strowman is also stupid for picking it. It shouldn't have been a stupid decision, but it was, because in WWE, 2+2 does in fact equal 5.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have warred across several promotions in a career-long association, and on SmackDown, the "Good Main Roster Show," WWE has penned the worst chapter yet. Zayn is great in the paranoid lunatic role, but he has hired a group of camera operators to document his career at the exact same time a group of camera operators film the backstage segments filmed by another group of camera operators. It is nonsensical, and Owens has said as much purely so that WWE can bank on a ****1/2 match every other promotion with significantly fewer resources has managed to make legendary with old-fashioned and unseemly wrasslin' themes like betrayal and hatred.

Logan Paul is a piece of sh*t, is great at being a piece of sh*t, and WWE has cast him as a happy-to-be-there babyface guest instead of letting him cut incendiary promos that just might make you want to see Owens smash his face in.

Cesaro Vs. Seth Rollins is harmless enough, but that's the problem.
