9 WWE Matches That Fell Apart On Live TV
9. Roman Reigns Vs The Undertaker (WrestleMania 33)
The WrestleMania main event. Unequivocally the biggest match in all of wrestling, and that's exactly how WWE want it. The biggest company puts on the biggest show and the biggest show ends with the biggest match. In an industry where so much is subjective, this cannot be argued.
That's what made The Undertaker's last ever WrestleMania headliner (to date) such a calamity. 'The Deadman' not only failed to lift the crowd from their slumber multiple hours deep into the show, but he failed to lift the younger Roman Reigns up to the level needed desperately at the time, and by the end failed to even lift him up for the Tombstone.
Reigns attempted to create movement around his knackered foe, but it was for naught on multiple counts. The fans didn't get back into the action around the botches that broke their immersion, and - driven by a hatred for 'The Big Dog' that was going nowhere - didn't get into his "babyface" dominance anymore than Undertaker's tepid and laboured comebacks.
In a way, both men did their best, but the younger wrestler wasn't in a position to perform the salvage job, while the older one - by his own admission latterly - simply didn't have the engine to keep up.
It's not like they were both in their prime...
