10 Things WWE Got Wrong At No Mercy 2017

4. Roman Reigns And His Unadjustable Attitude

Going back to the previous point, Michael Cole and friends expressed absolute shock at Reigns’ kicking out of the first Attitude Adjustment. Who hasn’t kicked out of the AA at this point? Cena usually picks up the win with his second or third Attitude Adjustment, or maybe even an Avalanche Attitude Adjustment.

Roman Reigns was able to kick out of four Attitude Adjustments. Four. Every now and then, an individual will kick out of two, but four? No wonder WWE fans roll their eyes whenever Roman Reigns is involved.

Once again, you can see what WWE was going for. Nothing says ‘WWE Big Match’ like the mass spamming of finishing moves and near-falls, but four Attitude Adjustments is a step too far. Not a single kick-out felt like the big deal WWE wanted it to be. This was a desperate attempt to create a moment with its two marquee names, an attempt that failed entirely.
