11. Fastlane (February 22nd)
Best Match: Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan Worst Match: Goldust vs. Stardust Earlier this year I wrote that Fastlane would be hard to top as the worst show of the year before imploring WWE not to take that as a challenge. As those of us who sat through the waterboarding-disguised-as-wrestling known as Survivor Series, we know that challenge was accepted and conquered. That doesn't mean that Fastlane was all that much better. The problems with this show were many; Roman Reigns picking up an obvious win over Daniel Bryan that angered the crowd, and since they knew it was coming they were dead for the entire night. The match itself may have been the best of Roman's solo career up until that point, but it didn't matter because everyone hated everything. Another big issue was the amount of screwy finishes, This card suffered from TWO rollups, a DQ and a ball shot. It was like all the most unimaginative tropes were on full display. Add to that the worst of the three Cena/Rusev bouts, a Dust Brothers clash that was an abomination and Kane and Big Show ruining everything and you can see why Fastlane sits in its rightful place near the bottom of the toilet bowl.
