#13 Clash Of Champions
While this wasn't a terrible show, Clash Of Champions was just not very good. Taking place in between a hot SummerSlam and the decisive WWE Draft, the September pay-per-view was always set to be unspectacular. Also, with so many championships in the company, the 'All titles will be on the line' was a difficult task to handle. There were a total of eleven matches, with two on the Kickoff Show, including an AJ Styles match. Most matches were okay, but felt like they would have fit better on RAW or SmackDown rather than on pay-per-view.
Some of the best matches included The Revival taking the SmackDown Tag Team Titles from The New Day and a Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks match ending into a no contest. The blowoff between Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton was a decent-at-best affair, while Erick Rowan pinned Roman Reigns with help from a returning Luke Harper. The main story of the show involved Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman, losing their RAW Tag Team Titles at the start of the show and then battling it out for the Universal Championship in the main event.

It was a decent match, with Rollins coming out on top. However, even 'The Fiend' attacking the Beastslayer to close the show could not make the show a big thumbs up affair.
#12 Hell In A Cell
With the hype behind WWE's Premiere Week, the company seemingly forgot that there was a pay-per-view that Sunday night. Only four matches were scheduled on the day of the show, with another four being added only hours before showtime. The main event between Seth Rollins and 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt was certainly interesting, considered bad by many (or even most) fans, and ended in an anti-climatic referee stoppage.
Luckily for Rollins, his fiancée Becky Lynch saved the show with her incredible Cell match against Sasha Banks. Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns had a fun tornado tag match against Harper and Rowan. If it wasn't for these two matches, Hell In A Cell would have probably started this list, as the worst pay-per-view of the year. The only other memorable positive on the show was the Kabuki Warriors turning heel and winning the Women's Tag Team Championships.
This really showed the importance of planning ahead of time. Luckily though, Bray Wyatt's dark alter-ego was rescued in a few weeks' time on the next WWE PPV event.
