7. Man-O-Man

Had it not been for a 'House Of Horrors' match or WrestleMania WWE Title match centred around projections of insects on the canvas only visible from above, this might be the stupidest match of 2017.

Consider:

- This match has already happened. With WWE too lazy to build up to the return of Finn Bálor's 'Demon' visage for his match with Bray Wyatt at SummerSlam, the company instead just booked the singles match just before the supercard, ending in a clean win for 'The Eater Of Worlds'. He dirtied things up again by pouring a bucket of viscous acidic liquid on the former NXT Champion.

- That match was garbage, and their SummerSlam rematch wasn't a whole lot better.

- Bray already has the upper hand in this scenario if judged on the effectiveness of his superpowers. They don't work. Unlike Finn's demonic side, anytime he actually tries trickery, it fundamentally fails. Bálor is a complete idiot for accepting the contest. And, for that matter, just not being the Demon all the time.

So, it's happened despite millions willing it not to. Bálor has been sucked into Wyatt's orbit of awful. He has to win this, merely just for sticking at it so long. Ultimately whomever gets to be the man (and if that even matters) here's hoping that it's the long-awaited end to the whole sorry affair.
