Ranking Every 2019 WWE PPV From Worst To Best

9. Crown Jewel

The Good: Cesaro pulled off the carry-job of the year for Saudi star Mansoor as his on-these-shows-only push continued. Ignoring the reasons behind why their match was so problematically historic, it was clear to see how impacted Lacey Evans and Natalya were by becoming the first two to wrestle there. Girls and women in the crowd seemed earnestly moved too, not least because this appeared the most fan-heavy attendance thus far. Monied punters - if there were any there - were shunted out of sight. Team Hogan Vs Team Flair was a riot of a good guys/bad guys 10-man tag and deserved a spot on an entirely different pay-per-view.

The Bad: Brock Lesnar Vs Cain Velasquez and Braun Strowman Vs Tyson Fury were used in place of weird returning legends, but both were equally unsuccessful. One sucked because it was too short, the other blew because it was too long.

The Ugly: The Fiend and Seth Rollins sucked all over again, and even though the result was right, the drab spots only brought into focus that all of this is still as ethically ugly as one of those red lights looks.
