#4 Jason Jordan and Kurt Angle
In July, just three months following Angle's comprehensive comeback, he was asked to go on Raw and admit to the fact that Jason Jordan was his long lost son. It was Kurt's attempt to get fans fastened in with the false story and Jordan's own unconvincing drama only got worse over the next six months.
However, going as far as making the pair father and son added various complexities and hints to the storyline, resulting in it being too far-fetched to work. It also crossed a line of kayfabe which is far too difficult to control in 2017.

Kurt Angle's 2017 return to WWE was a long time coming, and it was something his most faithful supporters waited to see ever since the Olympian swapped Vince McMahon for TNA in 2006. The response to his return post-WrestleMania 33 was enormous. It didn't take long until those passionate cheers turned to boos.
This wasn't what the WWE Universe wanted from Kurt's return. His run as Raw General Manager was complicated. Nobody expected to see the creatives provide a storyline that didn't engage the fans.
