Why isn't broken marriage out of 10 on the list? Also, that is my rating as well

Watched mostly YouTube clips. Boy, they are really doing a well job putting over Seth Rollins and Kofi Kingston. I feel like Seth Rollins is starting to eclipse Kofi in popularity as well as ust being looked at as a serious champion. They NEED to start doing more Becky and Seth romantic stuff while they are the title holders. The emotional and reailty elements to that situation could make for a seriously good storyline.

I feel as though it'd be kind of a bit trashy to bring their relationship too much into the storyline. Like, there was a couple of elements they did before like when Seth was being rolled off in an ambulance, Becky was there, but it shouldn't be the main focus.

I disagree. Every WWE storyline is the same thing. Its always "Oh look at me, im the champion, my dreams have come true, im gonna defend my title!" That is so boring and i think we need more reason, some more emotion. A ladys touch would be perfect. That soap opera element

It comes to a matter of execution. Romance has been involved in countless storylines before, some of them iconic. But there have been countless other cases where it doesn't land. I feel as though with Becky and Seth if their real-life romance becomes too much of a focus, it can cheapen their characters since Becky is "The Man," and her character has been essentially "don't give a damn what people think, I'm in the spotlight," and Seth's been a workhorse and to a degree, a bit of an anti-establishment person. Granted some in the right moment can be great. Look at Daniel Bryan after he got engaged to Brie, they did an angle with her consoling him after he was attacked. It worked, but it wasn't the crux of their storylines.

If we need more drama, it comes to overall better storylines, romance involved or not and more compelling/entertaining title contenders for them to face who don't overstay their welcome for a feud. Considering Becky is in this prolonged feud with Lacey Evans when it should have ended at Money in the Bank at the latest and Seth is stuck in the pull of Baron Corbin's mid-card Vortex, if they would have moved them along to the next feud afterwards, then Stomping Grounds as a PPV would have more heat as opposed to 100 rematches with maybe a couple of new matches which are cool on paper, but we could use that extra pepper/build to make them feel special.

Theres so many directions a story line could go with both top perfomers being world champions and in a relationship. Theres all sorts of jealously, love, betrayal, and reunion that could occur that i think it would make WWE somewhat interesting to have a story with emotional investments in it. They keep the guys and girls so distant now in that regard because the female talent have essentially become "the boys" in terms of as part of the locker room. Of course WWE could fuck it up like they do a lot of things but i would still like to see it because Becky and Rollins are both pretty stale champions and i think if they were paired together as this WWE on screen/off screen power couple who are both world champions that it could get over in a big way. I believe WWE sees this as money and are gently pushing their way into that direction but dont want to rush it.
