7 long-term storylines in WWE that were ruined with a bad ending

#2. WWE ruining the summer of Punk with Kevin Nash

While former WWE writer Kevin Eck wanted Kevin Nash to be the Anonymous RAW General Manager in 2010, there was a problem — Kevin Nash was still contracted to TNA (now Impact Wrestling).

He was cleared from his duties with TNA in early 2011, freeing him up for a WWE return. This happened right in the early stages of WWE's Summer of Punk. No superstar in the world of wrestling was hotter in 2011 than CM Punk, and his WWE title win over John Cena at Money in the Bank 2011 will forever remain an iconic moment.

WWE squandered CM Punk's momentum numerous times in that run. At SummerSlam 2011, CM Punk controversially defeated John Cena but was attacked post-match by the returning Kevin Nash. This allowed Alberto Del Rio to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase to become the new champion.

Kevin Nash claimed he did it for Triple H, who supposedly sent him a text ordering the assault. Triple H denied it, and for some reason, we got CM Punk vs The Game at Night of Champions 2011.

CM Punk was furious over the fact that Triple H came out victorious. While Punk went on to regain the WWE title in November at Survivor Series, the payoff for the storyline was poor.

To add to that, WWE culminated the Kevin Nash storyline at TLC 2011 that year, where the legend faced...Triple H. None of it made much sense at all.
