Where: WWE WrestleMania 35

The Match: AJ Styles brought his super-worker boots to 'Mania 35 for a showdown with WWE icon Randy Orton. Motivated to meet him halfway, Orton also did everything he could to make this undercard scrap look big time. The cutting shoot-style comments from both during the build up definitely helped.

Why It Sucked: Check out the pic above for a little refresher.

An entire side of the vast audience inside MetLife Stadium couldn't see the ring at all due to the blinding yellow light that p*ssed down upon them. This baffling decision by the lighting/production crew killed the match for approx 30% of the crowd. It was so terrible that Randy and AJ apologised to those who couldn't see on social media afterwards.

That was a bit of a Homer Simpson "D'oh" moment from WWE. Their lighting rig is there to enhance the presentation, not destroy it for those who have maybe paid thousands for floor seats.
