So, WWE had its last Pay-Per-View of 2016 this past Sunday and they played it pretty safe and predictable for the most part. Roadblock: End of The Line had its moments, but for the most part it was very mediocre. And that's never fun. We witnessed two title changes, an Iron (Wo)Man match, and a little too much Chris Jericho if you ask me.
While the red brand had six hours of content this week, the blue brand had two. And you know what they say. Less is most certainly more. The Sportster's back to bring to you the 5 best moments and the 5 worst moments this week in WWE.
5. WORST - Byron Saxton
I'm a fan of Bryan Saxton, I am. Corey Graves treats him very poorly and that makes me sad. But sometimes, I can see why Graves is hard on him.
At Roadblock, during Sami Zayn's match with Braun Strowman, Graves asked the question of why Sami would want to get in the ring with Strowman. Saxton replied with... "He's doing what 99.9% of the population would do." I'm sorry, but what? I don't think 99.9% of the population would step into the ring with Braun Strowman, Saxton.
5. BEST - Natalya
Can't say I'm surprised Natalya ended up being the culprit in the Nikki Bella drama, but the reveal was entertaining none the less. After Carmella spilled the beans all over the ring, Natalya had no choice but to confess that she was the one to take Nikki out...
"Alright, I did it you bitch!"
The fans gasped.
"You and your sister got everything because you're beautiful. You got magazine covers, you got to walk red carpets, you got the Total Divas spinoff. And you didn't get it because you got a good personality. You've got no charisma. My cat has more charisma than you, bitch. You may be beautiful, but you are nothing... and that's why John will never marry you."
4. WORST - Sasha Taps Out
In the closing seconds of the 30-Minute Iron Man match between Sasha Banks and Charlotte, Sasha Banks chose to tap out. Tap. Out. With two seconds left of the match! She saw the clock ticking and you're telling me she couldn't hold on for two more seconds? Charlotte didn't even let go of the hold right away either, so tapping out two seconds early really didn't do Sasha any favors. All this did was make Sasha look like a fool.
4. BEST - Neville's Heel Turn
The Cruiserweight Triple Threat match at Roadblock was nothing too special, but what came after it was pretty damn awesome. Neville finally made his grand return and would turn heel by attacking both Rich Swann and TJ Perkins after the match.
It's about time Neville returned. He's a perfect fit for the Cruiserweight Division. Not only that, but his few minutes as a heel already looked more intriguing than his entire run as a face.
3. WORST - Charlotte Becomes 4-Time Women's Champion
What was the point in having Sasha win the Women's Championship a few weeks ago only for her to lose it back to Charlotte (yet again) at Roadblock? I'm starting to get the sinking feeling WWE is planning on giving Charlotte 16 title reigns to match her father. I mean she's already 1/4th there in just one year on the main roster. Technically speaking, she has five titles to her name if you count the NXT Women's Championship.
3. BEST - AJ Styles Defends Championship
In the opening segment of SmackDown Live, AJ Styles squashed James Ellsworth in a WWE Championship match. It was a segment that needed to happen, and it was actually pretty sweet to see AJ finally get his hands on Ellsworth without Dean Ambrose butting in. We'll see how WWE uses Ellsworth from here.
2. WORST - Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho reuniting with Kevin Owens at the end of Roadblock seemed as if it were a major plot point rewritten last minute because WWE doesn't seem to know what to do with the main event scene on RAW. All this did was extend Roman's program with Kevin Owens for another match come Royal Rumble and we aren't excited for it.
2. BEST - Kevin Owens vs. Roman Reigns
As much as we're not excited for another encounter between Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns, I'd be a fool to admit they didn't tear the roof off in their main event match at Roadblock. It's just a shame it ended the way it did. I may give Roman a hard time, but the guy can perform. It's his character that needs an overhaul.
1. WORST - Again, Chris Jericho
I used to love Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens together, but after the swerve they through at us this past Sunday, I'm not so much a fan anymore. The opening segment of RAW went way too long, and Chris Jericho is starting to act much more of a fool than he actually is.
1. BEST - New Day's Title Reign Comes To An End
Although last week The New Day scored the top moment of the week for beating Demolition's record at becoming the longest reigning Tag Team Champions of all time, I'm still pretty happy to see them finally drop those belts. And who better team to do it to than Cesaro and Sheamus. These two work wonderfully together and we're excited to see where they will take the division towards the the road to WrestleMania.
