10 worst gimmick matches in WWE history 

#9 Stairs match

For some reason, the stairs match never caught on in the WWE

Remember the stairs match that took place between The Big Show and Erick Rowan at TLC 2014? Of course, you don't.

It is still baffling to this day why the WWE decided to add a stairs match to their TLC PPV in 2014, but thankfully, they haven't bothered revisiting the gimmick since.

The match gimmick made little sense, with the competitors using the ringside stairs as weapons throughout the match, though, there was no clear reason for them doing so.

Both Big Show and Erick Rowan used the stairs at several points throughout the encounter and the finish came when Show hit Rowan with a KO punch and then put the stairs on top of him for the pin.
