#1 Battleground (July 24, 2016)
If WWE officials wanted to end the promotion’s “old” era with a bang, they were successful in doing just that. A mere 24 hours before the Brand Split went into effect, several storylines culminated once and for all, including the long-awaited Triple Threat match between the three former Shield members in the main event.
In addition to the match being brilliant, Dean Ambrose retaining his WWE Championship was the right move. However, that wasn't even the night's best bout; Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens went to war and blew off their storied feud in a major way.
Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?
Elsewhere on the card, Bayley made her main roster debut, The Wyatt Family and The New Day produced a fun six-man tag team match, and John Cena led Enzo Amore and Big Cass to victory over The Club.
It was as close to an amazing pay-per-view as you'll get from WWE in this day and age, rightfully earning its place at the top of this illustrious list as the best live special WWE produced all year (excluding NXT, of course).
