25 Worst Wrestling Moments Of 2024
1. Jay Uso Vs Jimmy Uso (WWE WrestleMania 40)
There were signs as far back as the Royal Rumble that the battle between the brothers was going to be more Matt Vs Jeff than Bret Vs Owen on WWE's Grandest Stage, but the market leader persisted with the WrestleMania 40 match in spite of the indifference.
The contest proved the doubters and critics correct.
It was a box ticking exercise of a contest at best, and a profoundly boring failure at worst. Cycling through superkick spamming and self-reflective melodrama alike, this offered everything many fans loathe about modern wrestling while failing to entertainingly execute the stuff they still enjoy.
A stadium sat silent throughout all of this made for a strangely spooky vibe too - this wasn't that traditional stadium match falling flat, but something far more disappointing. The hottest story in the company during the hottest time in two decades over a weekend the organisation itself had positioned as a celebration of change and progression was playing out to the bored indifference that brutally defined the decline experienced during the worst of the monopoly's excesses.
