10 Stacked WWE Cards Which Failed To Deliver

SummerSlam 2016 was set to be one for the ages.

Fresh from that year's brand split, SmackDown boasted AJ Styles vs. John Cena and WWE Champion Dean Ambrose taking on Dolph Ziggler. Raw on the other hand had Seth Rollins and 'The Demon King' Finn Bálor fighting over the new Universal Championship, along with Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks for the WWE Women's title.

Yet, the true attraction on the night was undoubtedly Raw's Brock Lesnar - returning after mauling Mark Hunt at UFC 200 - facing off against another comeback kid in SmackDown's Randy Orton.

Styles vs. Cena delivered. Flair and Banks were in the midst of playing hot potato with the Women's belt, but they still managed to produce a decent match.

However, Rollins and Bálor's Universal title clash was hampered by THAT dreadful belt reveal and Bálor's significant injury mid-match. Also, Ambrose and Ziggler just couldn't produce anything of note on the night.

Yet, WWE were saving their most disheartening clash for the main event.

Lesnar and Orton pottered around for 10 minutes before the former smashed open the latter's head with his elbow and was thus awarded the win via TKO. He was in the UFC, you know?

If that wasn't enough, SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon then came down to protect his talent and was F-5'd into oblivion, setting up a match that would never actually happen.

What looked like a stellar event in the making, unfortunately ended up grabbing the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
