15 Worst PPV Main Events Ever

15. John Cena Vs. R-Truth - Capitol Punishment 2011

Capitol Punishment stands as one of the oddest one-off pay-per-views in WWE's recent history, solely based around the fact that it emanated from Washington, D.C. with a White House set, a poster featuring Barack Obama and had a controversial commercial where Obama answered questions about the upcoming event. 

Such an odd pay-per-view needed an odd main event, which it got in the form of R-Truth vs John Cena for the WWE Championship.

In his defence, R-Truth worked hard to earn a WWE Championship at pay-per-view, reinvigorating his character as a whacked-out conspiracy theorist who quite rightly pointed out that he had never received a singles main event before. 

It would have worked better if it didn't feel so disingenuous, as Capitol Punishment was nothing but filler to give Cena something to do and someone to beat for that month, before he moved into his feud with CM Punk leading into Money in the Bank 2011.
