The 10 worst WWE matches of 2018

#1 Carmella vs. Asuka (Extreme Rules)

Astonishingly idiotic.

As soon as the shark cage stipulation was announced, we knew we were going to be in for something bad, but no one could have imagined it would be quite this awful. Rivalling Bayley vs. Alexa's kendo stick on a pole match for the title of the worst match of the "women's revolution epoch," the match was more about James Ellsworth's shenanigans than it was about the female competitors.

The only thing it succeeded in doing was destroying whatever shred of credibility Asuka had left following her WrestleMania 34 defeat and her already embarrassing loss to Carmella a month prior, where she looked like an idiot.

This was a burial of the highest order.

The only redeeming quality we can find when looking back on this farce is that at the end of 2018, all three people are back where they belong.

Asuka managed to salvage her year and career with her Holiday season rebirth, culminating in her title win at TLC. This match is thankfully far behind her now.

Carmella is in a side role doing dance breaks with R-Truth.

James Ellsworth was released. Given the controversy he's gotten himself involved in, we can probably rest assured that it's permanent this time.

The universe just has its ways of delivering cosmic justice.
