#2. Fans are angry

Some of The WWE Universe is not happy about this. Not. At. All.

Listen. That's the sound of millions of pro wrestling fans complaining about a love triangle storyline right before settling back in to watch more of it. Now, there's nothing wrong with them doing this, especially since it helps keeps the storyline relevant. However, it's also a firm sign that the company's big plan is working.

In fact, between the way Lana is acting outlandishly awful and the company bringing several real life issues into the storyline, it's pretty obvious that this is all apart of WWE's plan to incorporate more mature storytelling. The best part is that a majority of fans are responding positivity to this, which is just further proof that it's working.

Of course there are still fans that are going to complain about it and find the segments cringeworthy, but it's still getting fans talking. Furthermore, it's getting fans to engage, for better or for worse, with the product in a way they haven't done in a long time. It's almost as if they are making fans care about pro wrestling again.

When was the last time that WWE had everyone talking like this? Heck, when was the last time WWE had fans this intentionally angry about a segment? If nothing else, WWE has gotten under their skin in the best way possible and it's going to have a lot of positive effects in the future.
