10 Recent WWE PPVs That Were Worse Than WWE Fastlane 2016

5. TLC 2013

It was the most important match in WWE history. Well, at the very least, the most important match in years. Most important match of the year? The month? The show? With only a few weeks of build, WWE made the long-overdue decision to unify the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships, putting both on the line in a ladder match between titleholders Randy Orton and John Cena. The match was hyped as delivering the first-ever unified WWE Champion, even though the exact same promise had been made 12 years earlier when Chris Jericho won the WWE and WCW titles. Orton won a middle-of-the-road TLC bout to become the inaugural WWE World Heavyweight Champion. The show was also infamous for hosting two three-on-one handicap matches. In the first, CM Punk defeated The Shield (despite the fact that the company wanted to put Roman Reigns over) and in the second, Daniel Bryan fell to The Wyatt Family. Nothing on the show was better than average.
