Match: John Cena vs. Seth Rollins (WWE SummerSlam 2015)

Why People Hate It: The iconic line, "Who booked this sh*t?!" fits here.

John Cena and Seth Rollins were producing the goods in-ring during a memorable 'Winner Takes All' WWE Title vs. US belt match at SummerSlam 2015. Fans in Brooklyn were on the edge of their seats loving every second when...comedian/TV host Jon Stewart turned heel.

Wait, what? Yeah, this happened. Stewart had been installed as the pay-per-view host, but nobody figured he'd play a part in any of the matches. So, it was quite the shocker when Jon leapt into the ring with a steel chair and cracked Cena in the ribs with it.

The fact this didn't really lead to anything on TV afterwards says it all. It was a one-off publicity stunt designed to get WWE some mainstream press, and nothing more. Fair enough, but a match this good definitely didn't need the ex-Daily Show fave leaving his mark on it.
