5 times since 2010 WWE got a World Title match wrong

Triple H Roman Reigns
Expectations were already low heading into HHH vs Reigns

#2 Christian vs. Randy Orton - SummerSlam 2011

Christian Randy Orton
The feud was good, but the end result wasn’t what fans had hoped

For months Christian and Randy Orton were locked in an extremely personal feud for the World Heavyweight Championship. They traded the belt back and forth, with a heel Christian managing to worm his way out of a number of situations, and the final showdown was set to take place at SummerSlam 2011.

Nobody really knew who would come away with the victory, but a lot of fans were hoping it would be Captain Charisma. Orton had plenty of world title reigns to his name by that point and it seemed like a great opportunity for Christian to carry the belt as a top heel Champion.

Alas, following a great match, it was Orton who walked away with the belt. Yes, Mark Henry would win the title a month later, but either way, it just feels like Christian should've proven to the world that he could get the job done without anyone's help or assistance. By the time the story ended, Christian looked weaker than ever.
