10 Most Controversial WWE Ruthless Aggression Storylines

8. Not His Fault

The relationship between Kane and Lita in 2004 was far from your classic love story. Boy meets girl. Girl is terrified of boy. Boy kidnaps girl and ties her up backstage. Boy impregnates girl against her will. Boy destroys boyfriend of girl. Girl is forced to marry boy. Girl has miscarriage on live TV. 

Honestly, so many aspects of the Lita/Kane/Matt Hardy/Edge affair were controversial for different reasons, but it was the flame-haired daredevil losing her unborn child on an episode of Raw that really upset people. 

With good reason too, since that is the sort of real-life tragedy that many have experience with and probably don’t want to be reminded of when they are tuning in to a wrestling show. 

WWE should have known better as well, having previously attracted condemnation for a similar storyline with Terri Runnels several years earlier (during the Vince Russo Attitude Era peak). 

The saga didn’t do anybody (besides Gene Snitsky) any favours and just felt like WWE trying to be edgy for the sake of it.
