10 Worst WWE Matches Ever (According To The Internet)

The Internet Wrestling Community swings the axe, and even sentimental favourites aren't safe.

Negative content sells.

It's hardly pulling back the curtain at this point, but for the last ones to cross the line, the reason your online experience sometimes feels skewed in the direction of things that suck is that it generates everything that counts as currency in the contemporary age. It's not even a fresh concept for digital natives and beyond - press credibility stuttered and suffered decades before dial-up as those in charge of major publications spotted profitable patterns between when they stirred up anger over joy.

All of that's to say some people will relish this countdown of WWE's biggest stinkers, but if the balance and good cheer matter to you, fear not! We covered the positive version of this list first, highlighting the very best of the market leader shortly before a WrestleMania 39 card that might have added a couple of new entries to the countdown.

That featured a host of legendary performers at their dynamic and dazzling best, with a litany of classic moments flooding the minds and memories of everybody that watched the matches and rated them so favourably in the first place.

This, predictably, won't be quite as kind...

(The ranking, as with the original, will come from our friends at Cagematch...)

10. Miss WrestleMania Battle Royal (WrestleMania 25)

At WrestleMania 39 in 2023, Trish Stratus and Lita teamed with Becky Lynch in a high-profile six-women tag match that saw the latter pair win the Tag Team Championships en route to the event and the former turn heel on both to set up yet another Stadium showdown in the summer.

It's little surprise both Hall-Of-Famers thought better of working this in 2009, or that Lynch herself had left an industry she'd entered years earlier altogether. A grim vision of the state of things at the time, the Miss WrestleMania Battle Royale competitors entered without any individual recognition (thanks to the shameful decision to tack their entrances onto a useless Kid Rock medley), the winner was Santino Marella in drag, and several of the eliminations were missed and/or outright ignored by the commentary.

The anticipation of seeing former favourites Sunny, Molly Holly, Victoria and others were drained as they entered and emptied as the match trudged to its inevitably depressing conclusion.
