5 Recent WWE creations that deserve better

WWE get a lot of criticism for the lack of creativity in their writing, as Raw and SmackDown Live are brands that could have been handled a whole lot better in the last few years. But sometimes, you can't get everything that you wish for. Specially when it comes to expecting certain things from WWE these days. Hence, it's better to focus on the positive aspects of the show they run.

However, there are some things that happen in WWE that fans can't ignore. One of those things is the company damaging their original ideas with some less than stellar booking. From performance center Superstars that were created to headline the main events to the titles that were supposed to indicate a new beginning for certain divisions in the company, what are some of WWE's creations that are being ruined at the moment?

#1 Braun Strowman

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Who could have questioned whether Braun Strowman would be the WWE Champion by now? As the big man was stomping out each one of his opponents every single week, and many hailed it as one of WWE's best-written narratives in 2016/2017. Moreover, the amazing thing about Strowman's hot run was the fact that there was not a fan in any arena that was bored of seeing Strowman march down to the ring and bully his opponents in the ring.

From destroying Roman Reigns to making Brock Lesnar seem like an afterthought in the main event scene, Strowman was set for big things, but WWE was not ready to make it happen. Many believe that WWE shot themselves in the foot here, as Strowman could have been one of their greatest creations of the modern era.

This man had everything to fit the company's bracket of being World Champion, but now in 2019, Strowman feels like nothing more than another face in Raw's midcard.

#2 205 Live

The return of the cruiserweight division was a welcomed sight in the WWE, as the division was removed at the height of its obscurity back in the day. But now it seemed like it would succeed on all fronts.

For the most part, during the division's inception back in 2016, things looked great. From the success of the cruiserweight classic to the insane depth of the roster, WWE could not make a mistake with this product.

However, three years later, things did not go to plan with the cruiserweight division. When you have a hugely underused star like Mike Kanellis calling the company out for not caring about the division, one should realise that things are not going so smoothly.

But the truth is that 205 Live puts on some truly beautiful wrestling, even better than what we see on Raw or Smackdown Live, but the problem is that fans have a sense of apathy towards the brand because it doesn't seem like much effort has been put into making the brand's narratives truly engaging.

With Triple H in charge, one would think that things would get better. While the brand has improved since 'The Game' took the reigns, here is a question for you, has anything really changed? The inclusion of Chad Gable in the show might improve things to a certain extent, but how far will it take the show in its goal in becoming an NXT-esque brand?

Right now 205 Live is sadly not a show that every wrestling fan is excited about, and that is due to the brand not hitting its peak. Wrestling enthusiasts of the cruiserweight product want to witness awe-inspiring wrestling with amazing narratives, but WWE are not doing the best they can do right now with the show.

#3 Women's Tag Team Titles

A beacon of hope that has been sidelined.

The idea of WWE having Women's Tag Team Titles was so hyped back in January, as everyone thought that those belts would be the saving grace of the women's division. And let me give credit where credit is rightfully due. WWE did do a good job with titles during the first few months, as Sasha Banks and Bayley made for great champions that elevated the women's division.

But ever since WWE controversially took the titles off the duo, it is sad to say that the titles are in a pit of obscurity. The IIconics, for all their faults, are the two most entertaining Superstars in the women's division today, but even they can't seem to catch a break from WWE's wishy-washy booking.

From staying put backstage to losing some truly important matches, Billie Kay, Peyton Royce and the Tag Team Titles are in desperate need of a resurgence, as the current state of these once promising titles is just disappointing to describe.

#4 Women's Revolution

WWE needs to keep the hot streak going. ]Reigns can be used better right now.

The Women's Tag Team Titles are not the only thing WWE can't seem to keep above a certain standard these days, as the once fabled women's revolution has hit its peak way too early, and now WWE doesn't know what to do with it.

The main event of WrestleMania was a special moment in women's wrestling, as we saw Charlotte Flair, Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch battle for the Women's Titles in a high stakes match.

But it seems after that match slumped in quality to an extent, the company has doubled down on women's wrestling. How often are we seeing the Superstars of the women's division keep their hot streak going in 2019? Not too often would be the answer, as everything being done in this division today is ruining something WWE has worked hard to build.

We have seen Becky's badass persona being watered down, Charlotte Flair being overused in the World Title picture, Ember Moon starts a feud with Many Rose for breaking her Nintendo Switch.

These are just a few examples of WWE wasting valuable superstars in weak angles has slowly made this division feel petty. WWE needs to step up or stand the chance to cause viewers to lose interest in a division that has taken so much time to make credible.

#5 Roman Reigns

What can be said about Roman Reigns that has not been said already? The man is a pure main event star, but if we had to discuss one thing that is affecting to Reigns' career right now, it would be his booking. Reigns returned to the company after a crisis, so, one could only expect WWE to use Reigns in a manner that would make the best use of his presence.

While the Wildcard Rule is looked upon as WWE finding a way to put Reigns on Raw and SmackDown Live, what has WWE really does with the former WWE Champion on these brands? Reigns have been embroiled in a tedious feud with Shane McMahon over the last few months, and every wrestling fan out there feels like WWE has made a mistake by doing so.

Reigns is being wasted in this narrative that has not benefited anyone. Now, rumours have circulated that Shane might be in line for WWE Title reign, which is something that should never happen. The worst part about this rumour is that it would probably involve Reigns in the picture. WWE needs to take a step back and reassess the fact that booking their top guy and having him lose to a 47-year-old non-wrestler is a mistake that could ruin some of his credibility.

While some would say WWE are taking the slow route to get Reigns back to the main event scene, I'm not saying WWE needs to push the former Shield man in the event to use him better. All they need to do is find a better rival. Since Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre have feuded with Reigns so many times in the past, it makes all their future encounters feel repetitive.
