Ranking 2016's WWE PPV Endings From Worst To Best
12. Roadblock: End Of The Line - Best Friends Get Powerbombed
WWE's final pay-per-view ending of 2016 was another damp squib, and a depressingly bland sign-off for what has been an enjoyable year of WWE PPVs. Not only was Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens a painfully pedestrian title match, but, as has become common in Raw's main event scene, it ended in shenanigans.
Chris Jericho came to the ring and attacked Owens, his estranged "best friend," with a Codebreaker. Owens retained by disqualification, and the best friends were apparently back together. Remember when Stephanie restarted the Clash main when Reigns got himself disqualified? There was none of that here, but this continuity flub is just the tip of the iceberg.
Jeri-KO celebrated, and Seth Rollins came to the ring. He Pedigree'd Jericho as Reigns speared Owens, and the signed-off by double-powerbombing both Jericho and Rollins before the show went off the air. The match's finish came off contrived, but this was just as bad, and doomed Raw viewers to at least another month of this messy main event feud's continued existence.
Somehow, Reigns and Rollins are best buddies again. They've gone from "awkward allies with common enemies" to brothers in the space of just a few weeks, and none of it makes sense. More than anything else, this PPV ending highlights the short-termism that has plagued WWE's booking practices throughout the PG Era.
