9 Worst WWE matches of 2018 so far

#2 Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns (WrestleMania 34)

And no one cared.

This match was built for an entire year, and for that entire year, it had disaster written all over it. It wasn't a rematch that fans who buy tickets to WWE's shows were particularly keen on seeing. WWE added to this atmosphere by shifting attention to the shortcomings that had made many fans sick of Brock Lesnar long before the build started.

The example of WrestleMania 20 loomed large throughout the year as a doomsday scenario. The one saving grace was that the original match at WrestleMania 31 turned out to be very good, so that's what fans were hoping would be repeated. It was not to be.

Instead, we got WrestleMania 20 all over again.

In addition to the terrible reception, it got from the crowd right from the get-go, the match was badly worked without even an ounce of an effort put into the psychology of the contest. The same four moves and kickouts were repeated on loop until Brock Lesnar busted Roman Reigns open the hard way. No one cared.

Brock Lesnar's win was certainly unexpected and carried shock with it, but it was shock value for the sake of shock value, and as subsequent events would prove, it damaged Roman Reigns beyond repair, because, in addition to the previous hate he received, he now looked like a choke artist and a whiner. It's probably the runaway worst booking decision of the year, and arguably one of the worst ever made.
