10 Cancelled WWE Storylines
Not every WWE storyline makes it onto TV
9. Jake Roberts vs. The Ultimate Warrior
A storyline feud between The Ultimate Warrior and Jake Roberts would, on the surface at least, pretty much book itself.
On one side you had the chiselled, face-painted hero to WWE’s legions of young fans. On the other side, you had the dishevelled, snake-wielding villain that gave them all nightmares.
As Jake tells it, Vince McMahon informed him that he had to first go and ask for Warrior’s permission to work a programme together.
Once the approval was received, WWE filmed some segments between them, including one showing Roberts locking the former WWE Champion in a room with his serpentine friends, where he was bitten by a cobra.
Regrettably, things didn’t progress any further than that.
Warrior famously made a bunch of demands and held up Vince McMahon for a lot of money prior to his match at SummerSlam 1991 and was sent home pretty much as soon as he came back through the curtain.
Jake then transitioned into a captivating feud with Randy Savage instead, though he harboured a grudge against Jim Hellwig for years for blowing what he believed would have been a big-money storyline for him.
