10 Worst WWE Storyline Payoffs

7. Kevin Nash Texts Himself

The Summer of Punk in 2011 had the makings of being one of the best WWE storylines, well, ever, featuring some incredible moments like the Pipe Bomb promo and a series of great matches between CM Punk and John Cena. 

Despite being an easy story to tell, WWE decided to dump a cold bucket of ice water all over this red-hot feud and somehow turned it into Triple H versus Kevin Nash. 

Big Sexy returned to WWE for the first time in eight years (minus his Royal Rumble cameo earlier in the year) after the main event of SummerSlam 2011, attacking the Straight-Edge Superstar after his successful WWE Title defense against Cena and allowing Alberto Del Rio to cash-in his Money in the Bank contract and become new champ. 

The next night on Raw, Nash explained his actions in a promo by revealing that Triple H had told him via text to 'stick it to the winner', accusations that The Game denied. 

The whole thing devolved into a confusing mess and, in the end, it turned out that big Kev had broken into his pal's office, stolen his phone and sent the text to himself, supposedly because he couldn't sit idly by while Punk talked trash about the Cerebral Assassin and his family. 

Right. Sure. Okay. That all seems perfectly fine then. Nothing hollow and untrue about that whatsoever. 

Then we didn't even get the expected match between Nash and Punk, because Triple H replaced his Kliq buddy at Night of Champions (and went over Punk too, naturally). 

The storyline eventually culminated in a Ladder Match between Kevin Nash and Triple H at TLC 2011. Another smart call, that, booking two men who legally don't have quads in a bout where the whole point is to repeatedly climb something.
