Ranking Every 2019 WWE PPV From Worst To Best

12. Stomping Grounds

The Good: Long-forgotten by the end of a troubling show, Ricochet's United States Championship win looked to be the start of something major for 'The One & Only'. Daniel Bryan and Rowan assembled a surprise triumph against Heavy Machinery that played into the limited strengths of the popular babyfaces. Removed from the WWE Title picture, Bryan had lost none of his early-year spark in a doubles role.

The Bad: Bayley and her fans had waited two years for a sense of redemption against Alexa Bliss, but it wasn't to be found in a dry and dull time-filler on this show. Tacoma (the town that infamously hosted the WCW Raw Booker T/Buff Bagwell main event in 2001) weren't buying what Stomping Grounds was selling. The event was almost entirely three-sided in the venue and shot as such to protect blushes.

The Ugly: Kofi Kingston and Dolph Ziggler had a steel cage match that could be classified as offensively boring, so much so that it knocked any remaining bloom clean off the Kofi rose. A passable opener between Becky Lynch and Lacey Evans was downgraded by their joint involvement in a woeful main event between Seth Rollins and Baron Corbin. It was all to set up a month mixed tag cr*p between the four that mostly sucked too.
