Sportskeeda WWE Awards 2017: PPV of the Year

#1 WrestleMania 33

This iconic image sums up WrestleMania 33

It’s not very often WWE is able to match the lofty expectations that fans have come to expect from WrestleMania events, but 2017 saw them exceed those expectations to produce one of the best shows in the pay-per-view’s 33-year history.

It had its negative moments, such as the WWE Championship match between Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt and the fact that Braun Strowman was only on the kickoff show, but the good far outweighed the bad in Orlando.

AJ Styles vs. Shane McMahon and Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg were both much better than anyone imagined they would be, while the surprise return of The Hardy Boyz – and their subsequent title win – provided a WrestleMania moment that people will remember forever.

And, of course, we can’t forget the main event. The Undertaker laid his hat, coat and gloves down in the middle of the ring following his loss to Roman Reigns, giving the impression that his legendary career had come to an end. If that turns out to be the case, then it was the perfect way to bid farewell to the WrestleMania stage.
