As in things that undeniably feel like big moments, but storyline-wise just made no sense.
Off the top of my head the two bigs ones are...
1. Austin on the night after the Alliance was destroyed. He did everything he could to destroy the WWF and once he fails he comes back the next night as...THE TOP BABYFACE IN THE COMPANY!?!? The booking of the InVasion angle was so bad and Austin worked so much better as a face that most WWF fans just collectively seemed to say, “f*** it” and go with it despite Austin doing nothing to redeem himself outside of opposing Vince again who had reverted to being more of a bastard than usual.
2. Seth Rollins turning on Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns to break up The Shield. “We can’t beat Evolution...except we just did and one of their members just left the company.” I think they tried to explain it as Seth knowing that no matter what HHH was still the boss and he had to get on his good side to really succeed, but the whole thing just seemed like, “We’re breaking up the Shield because it is time for the Shield to break up,” rather than any good reason.

DDP as Sara's stalker in 01.
Not so much the storyline just the reveal.

Survivor Series 2002
Paul Heyman turns on Brock Lesnar to align with Big Show
Brock Lesnar was having one of the greatest rookie years in the history of the company, Big Show literally couldn't get the job done from day one, it was crazy betting against Brock for Show

Like have Heyman reveal that he put money down on Show to win. You could even have him pull the heel move of saying with his earning he’ll relaunch ECW then say, “No, I won’t be doing that.” |

Seth's made sense. $$$ and opportunity. |

DDP as Sara's stalker in 01. Not so much the storyline just the reveal. It would've worked if they would've kept the whole angle as DDP playing mind games with Undertaker. He did that a number of times in WCW (La Parka/Savage). But when they went with the whole "He's infatuated with Sara/Sara Shrine," that's when it got stupid. Plus, Undertaker feeling he had to bury DDP. |

It begins and ends with this one. What makes this even more frustrating is that they had the perfect way to turn him organically, by having him be the one to turn on the Alliance rather than Kurt. |

Stone joining forces with Triple H just months after it was revealed that The Game orchestrated the car hit and run on him. Shouldn’t have happened, in my opinion.

Plus, Vince asking the Undertaker to act all evil cultish to kidnap his daughter, terrorize his family, and cause general chaos in his company... all to somehow screw over an angry beer-drinking redneck. |

This is the one I came to post. It made ZERO sense. Together with Reigns and Ambrose, Rollins had just gone 2-nothing against Evolution. That should have told him that together they'd be unstoppable. Instead he joined Triple H, who then had Seth become a backup lackey for Randy Orton. Just... what? |
