10 Worst WWE Matches Of 2017

Far removed from 2016's minor classic, the 2017 edition of the Raw Vs SmackDown Live! Survivor Series main event was a microcosm of the bloated unflinching state of the WWE main roster.

Initially, it merely looked like a match of two halves. It took a few weeks for the sheer severity of the its crimes to sink in, but upon rewatch less than a month later, the entire thing is a gross reversion to old habits from WWE. Or, more specifically, the dark arts perpetuated by Triple H in a latter-day monumental masterstroke from the former political piranha.

Now able not even to have to hide in plain sight but bask in it, 'The Game' had only inserted himself in the match six days earlier. To go on and win the whole thing whilst showing utter dominance and lining up about seven potential opponents was one of his more ostentatious glory grabs.

Most rankling is the reckless abandon with which Bobby Roode, Shinsuke Nakamura, Finn Bálor Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle and even John Cena are brushed aside in order to get to the big finish between Triple H, Shane McMahon and (allegedly) Braun Strowman. Self-serving in the extreme, Triple H evaded significant criticism by taking his lumps from the 'Monster Among Men' before the show went off the air, but even that pontentially condemned us to a WrestleMania match between the two.
