7 PPV Quality Main Events WWE Gave Away For Free

7. Charlotte Vs Bayley (Monday Night Raw, February 13th 2017)

A bout that sadly foreshadowed a year of woeful booking for 'The Hugger' and the Raw Women's Division in general, the Title match between Charlotte and Bayley just over a month before WrestleMania 33 traded months of logical storyline payoffs for one feel-good moment.

It should be noted that the moment felt very, very good. Bayley realising her dream on the main roster after what felt like an eternity on NXT was destined to be one of the greatest moments of 2017 whenever it eventually arrived. It just arrived way, way too soon.

Having lost clean as a sheet to 'The Queen' at the Royal Rumble weeks earlier, her wait for a second shot should have at least lasted until March's Fastlane, or ideally April's WrestleMania with the added prestige of Charlotte's impressive pay-per-view winning streak also up for grabs. One month on, the company presented Payback from Bayley's hometown San Jose, California. A last chance rematch for the former titleholder against the returning hero was the simplest of conclusions to what would presumably have been a very rewarding rivalry.

All that sadly took place in an alternate timeline. After beating Charlotte on Raw, Bayley then took her pay-per-view strak at Fastlane, won an unremarkable fatal four way at WrestleMania, and laid down for Alexa Bliss for her big homecoming celebration. It remains one of the company's biggest blunders this year.
