10 Worst WWE Matches Of 2018

8. The Revival Vs Gallows & Anderson (Raw 25)

2018 is ending exactly as it started for The Revival. The act - once so revered for their doubles mechanics that they were literally named as such - has been left to drown on a main roster tag division with little time for little men and their little moves, but the sheer pig-headedness surrounding their Raw 25 squash takes the medal for their dirt-worst match in place of countless other dreadful Monday Night moments that defined their year.

Jobbed out to Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson in order to get to real stars D-Generation-X syphoning the last remnants of Finn Bálor's heat, Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson weren't sacrificial lambs so much as piles of sheepsh*t the faces accidentally trod in en route to stamping out any mention of them on the celebratory supershow.

Of course, this was par for the course for Triple H, Shawn Michaels et al. DX obliterated any and everybody in their path back when Raw was a show actually worth paying lip service to, but WWE's model is now so broken that any pathetic attempt at a rebuild for the lukewarm rookies would have failed - had WWE even tried. Dawson and Wilder have continued jobbing ever since, failing to turn this high profile loss into a WrestleMania programme before propping up loser groups like The B-Team and Lucha House Party in the aftermath.
