5. Roman Reigns Vs. King Corbin

King Corbin covering Roman Reigns in dog food made for quite a controversial moment on the penultimate SmackDown before the pay-per-view, but it was hard to objectively argue against the motivation.

'The Lone Wolf' has effectively been trolling 'The Big Dog' for the duration of this programme, reducing him to that of a literal canine to undermine the power he's got as a human being. That's perhaps a flowery way to express Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard popping themselves daft with dog jokes, but the wrestlers don't deserve derision for the instructions they're being made to follow.

There's a stench to this not caused by marrow or whatever f*cking minging meat went into those cans Reigns had smeared all over him. It's beginning to smell a lot like Christmas, and this feud is so December that it should come wrapped and hand-delivered by Santa Claus himself. There's a (Royal) Rumble brewing in its aftermath too - Roman can finally get back to serious when he's taken care of the stupid.

Winner - Roman Reigns
