10 Cancelled WWE Storylines
Not every WWE storyline makes it onto TV
Creating WWE television is a creative process involving many different parties and, as such, not every idea that gets tossed around is going to make it to Raw or SmackDown.
Some storylines, however, may be given the green light and even get teased or, in fact, begin in earnest on screen, only for them to be abandoned for one reason or another.
From dropped romances and canned title wins to nixed reveals and more, these are 10 cancelled WWE storylines.
10. Sable and The Undertaker kissing in a tree
For a time during the Attitude Era, the blonde bombshell known as Sable was solid ratings gold.
The key 18-34 male demographic couldn’t get enough of her, tuning into Raw in their millions to see what she was going to do next. One male aged between 18 and 34 who was positively besotted with the real-life Rena Mero was Vince Russo, who spent many hours furiously coming up with ways to get her on television.
One of his pitches (back in 1997) was to have Sable ditch Marc Mero in favour of The Undertaker, who would have transformed into a character akin to what he would later become as the leader of the Ministry of Darkness.
The Deadman and his gothic princess would then rule over the roster as WWE’s most evil power couple.
However, ‘Taker’s real-life wife at the time reportedly didn’t like the idea of him cuddling up to a future Playboy cover girl and the plan was scrapped.
