WWE RAW: 5 Reasons why the Rusev, Lana & Bobby Lashley angle is continuing despite strong fan backlash

#1 The success of love triangle storylines in WWE

This is certainly not the first time that a love triangle storyline is happening in WWE and it certainly won't be the last time either, to be extremely honest. In fact, on SmackDown, at the moment, a love quadrangle of sorts is currently underway between Elias, Dana Booke, Drake Maverick, and (if you throw him into the equation too) Batista!

And the fact of the matter is that it isn't the first time that such a storyline has happened, as Abhilash Mendhe notes in his article tracing the evolution of the love triangle. There have been similar storylines, most notably between Edge, Lita and Matt Hardy, as well as Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and also, Kurt Angle.

All of these storylines are still recalled many years after they happened, and the reason is that a love triangle is an easy enough concept to associate with, for everyone. Even if an individual has not experienced it first-hand, he/she has certainly come across the theme in a film or a TV show!

So, don't expect this storyline to leave your TV set anytime soon, folks!
