Ranking Every 2017 WWE Pay-Per-View From Worst To Best

6. Great Balls Of Fire

The Good: Samoa Joe's pre-bell beatdown of Brock Lesnar babyfaced 'The Beast' in an innovative manner, despite the match itself ultimately following the same pattern as most of Universal Champion's traditional squashes. Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks had a fabulous brawl over the Women's Championship in a much-needed refresher for the division. The 30-minute iron man match that concluded The Hardy Boyz' feud with Sheamus and Cesaro was one of the year's under-appreciated triumphs.

The Bad: Big Cass inadvertently made himself look a Big *ss when he covered the letter C in his name on the TitanTron. His pathetic match with Enzo Amore made them both look like sh*t. Having feuded for much of 2017 on both brands, The Miz and Dean Ambrose had ran out of steam long before a tepid decider conclusively awarded the spoils to 'The A-Lister'.

The Ugly: Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman were largely incapable of having crap contests with one another in 2017, but the farcical aftermath of their Ambulance Match was the sort of tripe that already seems of another world just six months removed. Having lost the match, 'The Big Dog' burst out of the ambulance almost immediately as if to render the result moot. Everybody then put on their 'Owen Hart' voices as Roman "went too far" by trapping 'The Monster Among Men' in the vehicle and reversing it into a stationery production truck. Attempted murder charges are still to follow, presumably.
