5 WWE storylines that were meant for other Superstars
Throughout the history of WWE, there have been good storylines and bad storylines.
In the good column, we have 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin's feud against Mr. McMahon, the debut of the Shield, the new Daniel Bryan and plenty more.
Whilst on the bad side, we have Hornswoggle being the Anonymous RAW GM, Gene Snitsky punting a baby, and Al Snow eating his own dog.
But sometimes, the WWE has a great storyline planned, and everyone on board, only to change their minds at the very last minute.
Though the reasons vary greatly, sometimes the company will give a huge storyline from one wrestler to another.
Here are five storylines that were meant for other WWE Superstars, and the reasons why the company changed their mind.
#5: Mickie James' original obsession
Mickie James' debut on the WWE main roster was certainly unique to say the least.
Appearing as the super-fan of Trish Stratus, James would often assist the Canadian in matches, something the Stratus was happy to exploit.
As James' devotion turned to obsession though, Stratus became more concerned and uncomfortable, and after rejecting Mickie's advances, was betrayed, and faced her former fanatic at WrestleMania 22.
Originally though, it wasn't Trish who was going to be James' target, but Lita instead.
Speaking on a 2017 edition of Lilian Garcia's podcast, the singer-songwriter said how she didn't know Trish before the angle, but she did no Lita.
Originally pitching the idea to Lita, the Team Xtreme Superstar was on board, but since Lita was a heel at the time (aligned with Edge), it made little sense to have James work with her.
