#2 End: Rusev versus Bobby Lashley

WWE needs to go ahead and nip this storyline in the bud.
WWE needs to go ahead and nip this storyline in the bud.

While the WWE Universe has been subjected to countless segments centered around the love triangle between Rusev, Lana and Bobby Lashley, none of them seem to build on the story in anyway. Furthermore, it just seems like the company is throwing things against the wall to see what sticks.

Now a storyline like this would usually be a great way to build up a babyface and make fans sympathize with them, but it's hard to do that when they keep coming up short. Unfortunately for Rusev, that is what keeps happening to him, and while it does draw a bit of sympathy, that is still outdone by how weak he is being made to look.

Honestly, how can you invest in a babyface that gets beaten down by his ex wife's new boyfriend and lays there lifeless while they kiss over him? It's not a good look for any babyface to go through and it's definitely not a great look for a guy like Rusev that has been on and off television for months.

In the end, WWE needs to nix this storyline as soon as possible and move these three on to something else. Of course fans are going to want a satisfying solution to this storyline, but with the corner that WWE has been booked into, it really doesn't seem like that is possible at this point.
