It's so true. Even Becky, after having the bloody face but still standing claiming its her show, the best thing that happened in WWE in about 5 years, WWE tried to shut it down almost instantly.
The next night they had her give the chance to fight Ronda at Survivor Series, after her whole initial momentum started when she called bullshit on Charlotte being given every opportunity.
Go back and watch that clip, the fans wanted Asuka, and Becky's character should have picked anybody but Charlotte.
Instead of JUST doing what is logical and going with the hot hand, they have to overbook everything.
That is just talking about on air stuff. How about them killing characters for petty shit. Braun Strowman was pretty red hot, but he showed up at the arena 5 hours before the show starts instead of 7 hours like protocol says.
Well WWE can't have that, so instead let's bury the guy to teach him a lesson, who cares about the millions of dollars they could make, the new fans they could have made, etc.
It is absolutely an unfathomable decision for a publicly traded company to make.
