5 Best running jokes in WWE right now

#3 Emasculating Mike Kannelis

Will things ever get better for Mike Kannellis?

Another fun part of the ongoing Maria Kannelis baby daddy saga is the fact that Mike Kanellis keeps getting emasculated by everyone on the entire roster. While the joke started off subtle enough with Maria telling Mike to get on his back and let her pin him for The 24/7 Title, it has gone into full-blown questioning his manhood on a weekly basis.

From being told that he isn't the father of his wife's unborn child, to getting beat up by everyone on the roster every time he tries to establish some bit of dominance, he always ends up shamed. Kanellis then proceeds to get ripped to shreds by his wife on the microphone before she inevitably walks away in disgust.

If nothing else, it's an interesting sideshow to help fill up time in between matches and is responsible for some of the company's best comedic moments. This is something WWE created organically and is a way to build up a story week by week.

For as much flack as the writing staff has endured in the past over their comedy, this is truly what they are capable of and remains a promising sign for the future.
