10. Rusev & Sheamus Mini-Feud Continues

As a rule, WWE isn't a fan of continuity, and would rather fans only remember the things it specifically tells them to remember. Old enemies become tag team partners with no reference to their prior feuds, and fans are left screaming at their TV for WWE to acknowledge previous events, but unless its relevant to the current story happening right now, it's not important.

Which is why the continuation of the Sheamus/Rusev minifeud is delightful to see, as following their loss to Orton and Ziggler, Rusev got in Sheamus' face over losing and ate a Brogue Kick as a result. It was probably unintentional, it's a callback to late July when Sheamus walked out on Rusev and Kevin Owens in a six-man tag-team match, which Owens eventually walked out of also, leaving Rusev alone to take the loss.
