Ranking WWE's 2016 Pay-Per-View Endings From Worst To Best

This year, the introduction of new talent to WWE resulted many amazing matches, a lot of which have taken place on Pay-Per-View. AJ Styles debuted at the Royal Rumble and would go on to have classic bouts with Roman Reigns, John Cena, and Dean Ambrose, while Sami Zayn joined the main roster shortly before WrestleMania and would make his own mark, competing in a heated program with Kevin Owens and taking part in a four-way Intercontinental Title classic at Extreme Rules. Existing talent - such as The Miz - also turned out incredible performances.

Unfortunately, for many fans, a PPV event is only as strong as its ending, and that's where WWE faltered this year. There were major problems with the overall booking direction of the company, and they were reflected in a lot of the main-event decisions - and subsequently, high-level PPV matches and their finishes. The result was often disappointment, and WWE benefited from the fact that the sale of individual PPV events is no longer one of their main sources of revenue.

This list looks at all of the 15 WWE PPVs in 2016 and ranks their closing moments, from the absolute worst to the ones that were surprisingly enjoyable. Let's hope that in 2017, logic prevails and we end up with PPV events that leave us wanting more.

What happened: WrestleMania 32's main event started more than five hours into the show, and by then, a five-star classic would have had a tough time getting over. Instead, fans were treated to one of the dullest 'Mania headliners in recent years, as Triple H defended the WWE World Championship against Roman Reigns. After nearly 30 minutes of plodding "action," Reigns Speared HHH to win the title.

Why it sucked: At WrestleMania 31, WWE decision-makers realized that putting Reigns over in the main event would lead to an embarrassing crowd reaction, so they held off. At WrestleMania 32, they probably also realized it, but they just went ahead with the plans. Fans did not want to see Reigns win, but they also didn't really want to see Triple H, leading to chants of "NXT" and "Nakamura" during the match. When Reigns did win, some of the members of the audience may have been holding out hope for a heel turn, but there were no surprises whatsoever. Everything went down in painfully obvious fashion, leading to chants of "Bullsh*t!" as the show went off the air.
