10 WWE Matches of 2017 that didn't live up to the expectations

#5 Bray Wyatt vs Randy Orton (WrestleMania 33)

These bug projections were more notable than the match itself...in a bad way.

This was one of the worst WWE Championship matches in WrestleMania history. The whole thing just fell flat and had the added touch of Bray Wyatt's toxic miasma.

It didn't help that even before the match, both men's entrances took forever. Bray Wyatt's at least had the spectacle, but Randy Orton exhausted us by taking an age just to walk down that long WrestleMania ramp. The LED viper under his feet didn't do much to assuage the situation.

The action itself started off fine, but after avoiding an RKO, Bray Wyatt did the first of what came to be this match's signature moves - the projection of LED creepy crawlies onto the canvas, in this case, worms. It shocked the crowd but didn't add to the match. That's when the action slowed considerably. Bray projected more creepy crawlies and then things went outside, where both men traded finishers on opposite sides of the ring. When the action finally went back inside, Bray managed to hit Sister Abigail, but Randy Orton kicked out of the finisher, and then came more creepy crawlies in the form of cockroaches.

Enter an RKO out of nowhere. Randy Orton is the champion and Bray Wyatt looks the fool yet again. That creepy crawlies and vaunted "mind games" the announcers sold so eagerly weren't very effective for Bray, were they?

While the ring work wasn't as bad as other matches on this list, this was a steep fall for the WWE Championship, a title which would only grow even less prestigious in the months ahead.
