#7 Brock Lesnar vs Randy Orton (2016)

Where exactly did WWE go wrong with this is still impossible for me to decode. I mean, this match was supposed to be a gargantuan affair for WWE. Not only was this match a dream encounter between two alumnus of that legendary 2002 batch, it was supposed to be the biggest WWE encounter of the whole year.

Randy Orton had been out with injury for almost a year, and had established himself as a solid challenger to The Beast in the build up to the event. Even though Lesnar was getting a lot of criticism from the fans for his disappointing outing against Dean Ambrose at WrestleMania, the expectations from the fraternity regarding this clash had created a lot of buzz for this dream encounter.

For some weird reasons, however, the whole encounter just fell flat. The match only had a ton of suplexes from Brock Lesnar (like that's new), and Orton barely got any offence throughout the match. To make the matters worse, the match, and the night, ended in a TKO, the worst possible way to end a wrestling match, when Lesnar legitimately busted Orton open with elbow strikes. Talk about tanking a dream feud in just 11 minutes.
