#2 WWE not taking it seriously
Is it just me, or is WWE failing to take any part of this storyline seriously? In fact, it's almost like WWE wants this storyline to fail in order to make sure Daniel Bryan leaves the company on the lowest note possible before heading to the indies to finish his career. Don't believe me? Let's look at what's transpired so far.
First WWE Creative decided to bring back The Yes Movement, but instead of actually using it to get two top stars like Owens and Zayn over with the audience, its been turned into a joke by being called The Yep Movement. Not only is that incredibly lazy on WWE's part, it just looks like a cheap shot at Bryan and his connection with fans.
Then there's the fact that Bryan is being easily manipulated by Zayn and Owens, which while could just be a plot device in order to allow Bryan to redeem himself later when he turns on Zayn and Owens, its completely out of character for Bryan to fall for something like that and just takes away from the realism of it all.
Is it intentional? Its hard to say on this one, but it should be noted that WWE is making some very questionable decisions here. Booking decisions that not only harm those taking part in it but the entire storyline its self. In the end, its all about realism and being able to immerse yourself in a storyline and that just doesn't float well with most fans.
