Ranking every main roster PPV of 2017

#6 WrestleMania 33 (April 2)

A roller coaster, just as it said it would be.

It's a rather damning indictment that WWE's biggest show of the year is ranked so relatively low. There were some great matches in Neville vs. Austin Aries, AJ Styles vs. Shane McMahon, the tag team ladder match with the return of the Hardyz, and Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg.

Unfortunately, there were also a lot of drags on the show, and a major weakness showed itself in the sheer length of the event. Had it been an hour shorter, it would rank much higher, but it had to drag on, and suffered as a result, an outcome that mirrors the most notable moment of the night.

There were two multi-woman matches that felt meaningless, possibly the worst WWE title match in WrestleMania history in Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton, a disappointing affair between Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho, and the usual plodding Triple H match with his 20-minute entrance, among others.

Most notably, mirroring the drag that was the length of the show itself, there was the sad "retirement" of the Undertaker after a match with Roman Reigns that was painful to watch. In contrast to the retirement of Ric Flair nine years earlier in the same building, this one felt like going to the vet to euthanize your dog who could no longer walk and kept crying out in pain. It only made you wish that Undertaker had gone out in 2012 in what was billed as "the end of an era" match. For all our sakes, let's hope this was indeed his last match.

WrestleMania could have ranked far lower. Thankfully, the four aforementioned matches gave it a tremendous boost.
