Ranking Every 2017 WWE Pay-Per-View From Worst To Best
13. Clash Of Champions
The Good: Baron Corbin, Bobby Roode and Dolph Ziggler assembled an electric three-way opener few saw coming after separate singles clashes between the three completely failed to sparkle. In what had to have been Jinder Mahal's final WWE main event, AJ Styles carried the former Champion to something substantially more watchable than anything else he'd achieved during his own spell with the strap. Closing out the year by permanently shutting Mahal out of the top bracket was a fitting end to a year that did untold damage to the once-prestigious title.
The Bad: WWE grasped defeat from the jaws of victory by booking a Fatal Four-way Tag Team Title match as a constant rotational four-way dance instead of the traditional two-in-the-ring formula. Popular, over and talented, the four units still managed a hot closing sequence despite the shackles of the booking, but the inexplicable rule shift tarnished what should have been an end-of-year classic. Charlotte Flair and Natalya's lumberjack match was a f**king mess, and exposed a dearth in talent on the blue brand beyond the treadmill at the top.
The Ugly: Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were apparently fighting for their jobs against Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura, but they may have had a brighter future just taking the defeat rather than actually trying to win. Warring referees Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon dominated proceedings as the accoutrement overwhelmed the main course, including a farcical and protracted closing stretch that saw 'The King Of Strong Style' hurled through a table in contrast to 'The Apex Predator' getting beat with a roll-up.
