28. King Barrett Wins His First PPV Match In 5 Months

After losing his last five consecutive pay-per-view matches (including a loss to R-Truth in last month's Money in the Bank pre-show bout), it was a relief to see King Barrett finally win a PPV fight, beating R-Truth with the Bull Hammer. After all, the King of the Ring is supposed to be an accolade to elevate a wrestler's profile and put them on the path to major title stardom, but instead, Barrett's been playing the curtain jerker ever since and, for some reason, losing a hell of a lot at the same time. Classic WWE booking at its finest, folks. Hopefully this is a sign of a career turnaround for Barrett, but knowing the company's logic, don't count on it.
