There is no doubt at all that even when the world went to hell all around us, Vince McMahon and the empire that he's built over decades - WWE would not bow in the face of adversity and decided to take the pandemic situation as a challenge and an opportunity.
Like it or not, so much may have changed about the world around us, but he has ensured that we get our weekly dose of WWE, be it RAW or SmackDown, irrespective of the ongoing situation.
That said, with the credit must also come the criticism, and WWE creative hasn't really been the gold standard over the last few months, often throwing a few head-scratching decisions our way.
So, in this article, we shall look at five recent decisions from WWE that make no sense.

As always, if you agree or disagree with the points in this article, you may voice your thoughts in the section below.
#5 Why did Seth Rollins get himself eliminated in such a weird manner at WWE Survivor Series 2020?
It is a well-known fact that Seth Rollins will be going on hiatus after Survivor Series 2020 to be with Becky Lynch, but at the same time, the way that he was written off at the pay-per-view leaves a lot to be desired.
Seth Rollins just got on his knees and begged Sheamus to eliminate him for 'the greater good'. Couldn't the spot have gone to someone else in the SmackDown roster, who would have appreciated the opportunity to be a part of such a prolific event, like Aleister Black or Apollo Crews?
There were so many better ways for Seth Rollins to be written off WWE programming, and this definitely qualifies as one of the most head-scratching creative decisions recently.
#4 Why doesn't Asuka have an opponent for the WWE RAW Women's Championship?
So Asuka is teaming up with Lana and taking on the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions in Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler, while her own title remains undefended.
And this is a total shame because Asuka may just be the best worker in the entire roster, male or female, but unfortunately, it just seems like WWE does not know what to do with her.
There are so many women in the roster that could be having excellent matches with her, from Nikki Cross to Alexa Bliss, from Naomi to RECKONING, but Asuka has been made a player in the Lana vs. Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax feud, and this is not the ideal place for her to be.
Honestly, it just seems like WWE is just wasting time until Charlotte Flair returns to action so that the two women can battle all the way to WrestleMania 37. Asuka deserves better and those in WWE creative know it as well, despite the booking thus far.
#3 Why doesn't Lana want a shot at the WWE RAW Women's Championship?
And staying on the same subject, after Lana became the sole survivor in the WWE RAW Women's Survivor Series team, she seemed reluctant when it came to challenging Asuka for the RAW Women's Championship this week.
Isn't the whole point of deciding to step in between the ropes in WWE, to challenge for the biggest Championship on your brand? Why would you be so reluctant to challenge for a WWE Championship that the Champion has to offer you a shot?
As much as they've tried to build Lana as a babyface in recent times, there's been something about her character that just hasn't connected with the WWE Universe, and it stems from logical flaws like these ones.
Her victory at Survivor Series was also a complete fluke and as funny as it was, it does not endear her to the WWE Universe at all.
Lana has the potential to be the biggest babyface in the WWE roster if she is booked right.
#2 Why did WWE decide to pair Lacey Evans and Peyton Royce?
As fun as it is to see a misfit tag team such as Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler, who aren't necessarily on the same page, or Cesaro and Sheamus who became a cohesive unit after waging more than one war in the WWE roster, there is a charm to a specialist tag team unit such as The Street Profits.
The IIconics were the only such tag team in the entire WWE roster, on either RAW or SmackDown, unless you count The Riott Squad which split up and came together again for no rhyme or reason.
So now, coming to the problem at hand, why were The IIconics split up just so that Peyton Royce could be put into another makeshift tag team with Lacey Evans, a woman that has little in common with Royce?
It's a step down for both of these women, both of whom could do so much more as singles stars and actually have competitive matches with Asuka, someone who genuinely needs these feuds.
#1 What happened to the Big E singles push that WWE fans wanted when The New Day split up?
When WWE split up The New Day, it was obvious that while Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston would focus on the Tag Team Championships on RAW, Big E would, in fact, get the biggest push of his life on the SmackDown brand.
As heartbroken as the WWE Universe was about The New Day members going their separate ways, they were at peace with The New Day staying on separate brands and making their presence felt in whatever way they potentially could.
And yet, Big E was left out of the proceedings at Survivor Series, where Otis was picked as the final member of the men's team ahead of him. He was also not in the Kickoff Show battle royal, which is a match that he should have ideally won to ascend a rung or two in his WWE career.
Big E could have had a dominant showing at Survivor Series and still come out smelling of roses in defeat, despite the 'clean sweep' plans.
