10 Modern WWE PPV Matches Allocated Far Too Much Time

10. John Cena Vs. Bray Wyatt - WrestleMania XXX

Match Length: 22:24

Why it was too long: Many are convinced Cena won't turn heel in his lifetime - let alone in under twenty three minutes.

The through-line of the match necessitated its length, to a degree, but it was a plot ridden with holes and logic gaps. Kane had already failed in his dishwater-dull quest to have Cena 'embrace the hate' - having Wyatt attempt to 'unleash the monster within Cena' was a nonsensical retread of something which was already assured a place in the annals of Wrestlecrap history.

Worse still, the match betrayed its characters and poured scorn on the audience, who were expected to believe that Cena, as a man who'd previously been in umpteen violent and bloody gimmick matches, was suddenly reluctant to batter somebody with a bit of aluminium.

The match would have been better served as an all-action, fifteen minute war. It would have enhanced the rest of the card, too - both Triple H Vs. Daniel Bryan and The Undertaker Vs. Brock Lesnar had the large-scale epic stakes covered. The time would have been better served putting Cesaro's Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal victory over the top.

WWE has a nasty habit of mistiming matches on its biggest night, as we'll see...
