10 Worst WWE Pay-Per-View Names Ever

10. Bragging Rights

WWE has not had much luck with their October pay-per-views, as we'll see throughout this article, and Bragging Rights will surely feature in future lists about forgotten WWE pay-per-view concepts that just didn't catch on. There were two Bragging Rights events (2009 and 2010). The event was created to replace the by-then-obsolete Cyber Sunday concept, and both shows gave the impression of a creative team desperate for a holiday.

The name implied that the major prize on offer is the ability to 'brag' about brand superiority, but by 2009 the brand split was clearly on its way out. SmackDown had long been established as a true B show, and no matter amount of brand supremacy victories was going to change this. The blue brand won both 14-man tag matches - but nobody truly cared.

To make matters even more mundane, the claim of the importance of bragging rights was nullified by having championships defended on the shows. Not all WWE show names must be taken literally, of course, but the implications made by the creative team in the build to both shows made this more literal than most. It subsequently failed to hit any of its set targets.

And for those upset that Randy Orton and John Cena more than likely won't be wrestling each other at WrestleMania 33, the two men were involved in both Bragging Rights main events.
