10 Awesome Wrestling Matches On Otherwise Terrible WWE Shows

10. Roman Reigns Vs. Braun Strowman - Fastlane 2017

Fastlane 2017 was yet another WWE pay-per-view in which Vince McMahon heard what fans wanted, and in response, sprinted all the way down to the away end with his hands behind his ears after scoring a last-minute against them. His audience!

The one time that fans didn't actually want Charlotte Flair to lose, Vince McMahon beat her, for the first time on PPV, a month before WrestleMania. Who needs huge stakes and a monumental win on the biggest show of the year?

The undercard reeked, incorporating two impromptu matches like it was some terrible, run-of-the-mill episode of Raw. Actually, the simile isn't required.

The main event was hilarious. Not exactly funny haha if you were Kevin Owens, who was squashed for the Universal title by Goldberg after a musical distraction from Chris Jericho, but on the bright side, it was this sort of b*llocks that created the conditions for AEW.

Roman Reigns Vs. Braun Strowman however was utterly fantastic. Roman, forever underrated as a babyface worker, took on the rising Strowman in an intoxicating bomb-lobber of a heavyweight sprint - the sort of magic, how-are-they-keeping-up-that-pace match that reduces you to a fist-pumping dumbass in your living room.
