WWE No Mercy 2017: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

3. John Cena Vs. Roman Reigns

Result: Reigns smashes Cena with the Spear for the win (22:05).

Rating: The build for this was really great, so it's a shame the match was deflated somewhat by a questionable finish. It was fun seeing Cena as the fan favourite with even his usual cynics, while Reigns was soaking up the hatred, even if he stopped short of leaning into the heel-ness too much.

The majority of the match was a fun slug-fest with an entertaining story, though it did ultimately devolve into uninspired finisher spam that's been particularly fashionable as of late.

Cena nailed numerous AAs on Reigns, including a Super-AA, but the 'Big Dog' still recovered to quickly put Cena away with a single Spear. It was too sudden and made Cena look oddly weak. Also, the post-match passing of the torch was super unconvincing, and cemented that this wasn't quite the marquee match WWE was trying to sell it as.

Certainly not bad, but the lousy finish hurt it quite a bit. 6/10
