Towards the end of 2018, Mandy Rose and Naomi began feuding with each other after Rose started
flirting with Naomi’s real-life husband, Jimmy Uso. Mandy made several attempts to
seduce Jimmy and even invited him to lock her up in the Uso Penitentiary, a.ka. her
hotel room. Jimmy should have given the hotel key to this guy… After Jimmy Uso somehow
made it to the hotel room, Mandy Rose undressed to her lingerie, ready for Jimmy’s jimmy.
It was all a ploy by Mandy though but little did she know that Jimmy Uso brought some company.
The whole storyline was bad and even Mandy’s partner, Sonya Deville couldn’t stop shaking
her head throughout.
Who regrettably remembers this disaster of a storyline? After three straight losses to
John Cena, Rusev blamed Lana for his last defeat and banished her from accompanying
him. Shortly after, Lana began a relationship with Dolph Ziggler while Rusev allied himself
with Summer Rae. Each week, the two couples went back-and-forth in segments that did no-one
good. It’s safe to say that the whole angle was a mess from start to finish and this was
compounded by the fact that Rusev and Lana got engaged IRL. As a result, the WWE had
no choice but to acknowledge this and the storyline thankfully came to screeching halt.
Summer Rae Had some strong words to say to Rusev...
This is perhaps one of the weirdest and darkest romance angles… if you can even call it
that… in WWE history. It all started when Kane got rejected by Lita, so what did he
do? He kidnapped and impregnated her! That sounds like Kane! The Big Red Monster then
forced Lita to marry him after winning a “Til Death Do Us Part” match against Matt Hardy
at SummerSlam 2004. Unsurprisingly when it came to the wedding, things didn’t turn
out the way it was planned. Lita would go on to miscarry the baby after a debuting Snitsky
hit Kane from behind with a steel chair causing him to fall on Lita. This led to the infamous
segment where Snitsky kicked a baby into the crowd in order to torment Lita. After all
of this somehow blew over, Kane and Lita bumped into each other backstage years later in what
was a very awkward encounter.
Vince McMahon has been involved in a number of romance storylines with Sable, Torrie Wilson
and Stacy Keibler just to name a few. But one that stood out for all the wrong reasons
was his on-screen relationship with Trish Stratus. The Chairman often made out with
Stratus and once even made out with her in front of his wife as she helplessly watched
on. McMahon eventually grew tired of Stratus and took to humiliating her on several occasions
as you do. Firstly, by dumping sewage on her and secondly, forcing her to strip down, get
on her hands and knees and bark like a dog. All of this left a sour taste but Stratus
did manage to get her revenge with the help of The Rock and Rikishi.
From past romance angles, surely the WWE would have learned by now that they should just
stop doing them. But then again, this is the WWE we’re talking about. Just recently,
the WWE decided to go with a storyline of who is the father to Maria Kanellis’ baby?
It certainly wasn’t her husband as Maria made that clear… Just when we thought the
storyline couldn’t get any more absurd, it did. A returning Rusev was instead announced
as the father of Maria Kanellis’ child. With a moustache like that, he can get all
the ladies pregnant! As for Mike Kanellis, he wanted no part of the Bulgarian Brute and
just came to accept him as the father. But wait, the plot thickens as Bobby Lashley made
his return from injury with Rusev’s wife, Lana, by his side and the two locked lips.
What is it they say? “Once you go black you never go back!”
