5 recent WWE pay-per-views with disappointing endings

#3 Fastlane 2017

Decent to terrible in 21 seconds

The Fastlane pay-per-view usually gets a bad rep from fans, as it is somewhat like a buffer on the road to WrestleMania. In 2017, it was a RAW-exclusive pay-per-view. Aside from some high points, the WWE product at the time was nothing more than fine.

The card was actually pretty decent, certainly better than previous installments of the pay-per-view which were designed to put Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania, in a time when his push felt forced. The Big Dog would once again main event the Show of Shows, but we did not know it at the time.

Reigns faced Braun Strowman at Fastlane, giving the Monster Among Men possibly the best match of his career. It was incredible. Aside from that, Samoa Joe vs Sami Zayn and a barnburner of a Cruiserweight title match between Neville and Jack Gallagher were among the highlights. The show was going perfectly fine, despite a dud or two.

However, then came the main event - Kevin Owens vs Goldberg for the Universal Championship. People were expecting KO to lose his title, possibly in a dramatic sub-5-minute match. But what happened next enraged the fans.

Goldberg won the match in 21 seconds. In no way was this justifiable, even with the Distraction of Jericho. Ruin the match, maaaaaaan! This induced the fans to thrash Fastlane despite it not being all that terrible as a whole.
