5 Worst Wrestling Matches Of 2017

#1 Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt - WrestleMania 33

This is how you create the worst match of the entire year: slow wrestling and cheesy image effects

This match signifies the very moment Bray Wyatt’s career died, with no attempt at resurrection possible going forward. Fans erupted at Elimination Chamber when he won the WWE Championship, and hoped that his major title defense at WrestleMania would be his big chance to prove he was worthy of main-eventing.

Instead, WWE delivered the worst match of 2017 by far: an odd contest that featured ridiculous ‘images’ of various insects and vermin. Perhaps WWE were trying to shock the audience with a new form of drama and storytelling that no one had seen before. But that failed to translate on the show itself.

Fans groaned at the gimmick; not because it was working, but because it was stupid. It was an awful attempt to sneak some silly production tricks into a match, which ended up harming the participants involved.

Wyatt desperately needed a big win here more than ever before, but ended up losing to someone who honestly didn’t need another world title run.
