Beyond that, they have one of the most underwhelming title pictures in all of WWE, which has been the norm for the show for several years.

#5 The Authority gimmick
While The Authority gimmick does have its upsides, it's something that has been a focal point of Monday Night Raw for years now and the company seems hesitant to deviate from this form of storytelling.
With that being said, the gimmick has been so overdone in the last couple of years that the company is running out of new ways to tell the story.
Beyond that problem, there aren't really any superstars that are able or WWE is willing to set up in that position.
Of course, they were willing to put Roman Reigns in that position in hopes of making him the next top star at one time, but he wasn't an underdog and that's why it never seemed to work.
In the end, Baron Corbin and Kurt Angle competing for the power of Raw is something WWE has already done in the past with other superstars, which takes away from the uniqueness of it happening now.
In fact, WWE has stuck so much with the copy and paste method with this storyline that it's really become hard to watch.
Furthermore, the way WWE books these type of storylines, it's often months before the babyface finally gets the upper hand, and he could be given up on before that even happens.
It happened almost happened to Daniel Bryan during his championship pursuits in 2013, but the fans ultimately refused to give up on him, which turned the tide in his favour.
