12 Worst WWE Pay-Per-Views Without A World Title Match

12. Fastlane 2015

The last pay-per-view of Brock Lesnar's 2014/15 title run, Fastlane couldn't touch the drama of a divisive Royal Rumble a month earlier or superb WrestleMania that followed it.

A lack of conclusive finishes struck the killer blow on a tepid filler show that did little to alleviate the growing dissent behind the babyface push of Roman Reigns at the expense of sentimental favourite Daniel Bryan.

Victory for the 'Big Dog' ensured his place as WrestleMania 31 Number One Contender, with the company attempting to make good on his horrifically-received Rumble victory a month prior.

Murky conclusions to the Intercontinental and United States title matches damaged the credibility of both at a crucial time of year, whilst the return of Randy Orton, a Sting/Triple H confrontation and the one-sided Bray Wyatt/Undertaker feud all failed to inspire ahead of major WrestleMania clashes.

Though the Bryan/Reigns main event was excellent, the malaise surrounding the forced elevation of the former Shield member hung over the entire event, with the crushing realisation that the company had taken back totalitarian control of their main event after the giddy thrills of the WrestleMania 30 build.
