However, WWE have had a habit throughout their decorated history of putting the show stealer on first The time to have gone first I put on a classic matchup and as a consequence everything that comes after the opening match is paled in Comparison join us now as wrestling be a looks at 10 WWE pay-per-views that peaked with the opening match Be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell for daily wrestling videos and follow us on Facebook for exclusive list Also, check out wrestling be a code out UK and an on wrestling channel incredible Number 10 hell in a cell 2020 upon turning heel in the summer of 2020 Roman Reigns's first opponent would be his cousin Jey Uso which is good the idea of J being a viable threat to Reigns in his universal title seemed questionable But WWE executed the storyline to perfection the payoff to the storyline was a hell in a cell showdown And the two men put on a classic matchup match was storyline driven and it was simply a work of art It was WWE at its very best and the crazy thing was the match took place in front of zero fans Yeah, this was during the COVID-19 pandemic The match was also an appropriate use of the hell in a cell structure as the confines of the cell helps sell the Emotional torment that both wrestlers were going through the match would steal the entire pay-per-view and whilst the other hell in a cell Matches on the cards such as Bailey versus Sasha Banks and Orton versus June McIntyre were good They failed to match. I forgot that was I forgot that was the first first match Yo, I thought that was the main event. I thought what the hell I Really thought that was the main event. I forgot that was the first No way hold on. I got a Google that there's no way that was the first match wait a minute hell What are you? What I'm doing is right now That was the pre-show Wow Yeah, there was a match on the pre-show our truth versus Drew Gulak. That was the pre-show But it started I forgot it started the show Roman Reigns with Paul Heyman versus Jay Uso What the what I did not know that I don't know why I thought that was I Don't know why I thought that was the I forgot that wouldn't the main event Impact to what Reigns and Uso delivered inside Satan structure number nine Survivor Series 2013 the 2013 edition of Survivor Series event was a massive disappointment Yeah, the main event of the show featured Randy Orton defending the title against the big show This match will be a total waste of time as nobody was interested in the match and the match quality wasn't reflective of a Pay-per-view main event slot the highlight of the entire event came with the opening match as WWE Presented a traditional Survivor Series match which showcased how special of a wrestler Roman Reigns would go on to become The shield would team with the real Americans to take on the all-star team of the Uso's Reimers stereo Cody Rhodes and Goldust The finish would see Reigns win the match for his team as a sole survivor And this was a clear indication that WWE specifically been doing man saw Reigns as an ex-big thing even back in 2013 the match was a hell of a ride and an incredibly entertaining 23 minutes the fans loved the action and it was a shame that the rest of the pay-per-view couldn't match the quality on display by 10 of the aforementioned talent TLC 2014 in 2014 WWE attempted to do something new and unique with the TLC pay-per-view event Tables ladders and chairs would become tables ladders chairs and stairs WWE trying something fresh was appreciated Concepts simply didn't work as their stairs between the big show and Eric Roman was one of the words I So I'm glad some of these things. I don't remember Table ladders and chairs and also stairs I'm glad that I don't remember that vaguely good as matches of 2014 The rest of the pay-per-view and it certainly didn't help that there was no WWE title match as reigning champion Brock Lesnar Wasn't even scheduled for the event Nevertheless the opening match of the pay-per-view was a match in the air contender is also collided with the late Great Luke Harper Residential based off in a ladder match for the IC title and the match was critically acclaimed by fans the match had some Tremendous high-risk spots him and the much larger Harper seemed to think he was a cruiserweight in the match with some of the aerial maneuvers He was able to execute the match highlighted just how great Harper was as an in-ring talent and some WWE fans may argue that this Specific match was Harper's finest work during his time in WWE number seven WrestleMania 10 There have been some unbelievable opening matches that have opened WrestleMania But the opening contest of WrestleMania 10 was truly a match for the ages Brett and Owen Hart would collide and the match was without question Not just our best in-ring match of the entire pay-per-view But one of the greatest matches in WrestleMania history the match couldn't have been booked any better as Owen secured the win Showing everyone that he was just as good as his brother Brett would ultimately go on to win the WWE title in the main event Where he defeated Yokozuna, so it was a fine night for the Hart family Yeah You did have some other highlights such as Shawn Michaels colliding with Razor Ramon in the ladder match But the opening match between Brett and Owen certainly set the template on how to open the biggest show of the year number six bragging rights 2010 the 2010 Some of the biggest names in WWE history featured on the card Names such as the Undertaker Randy Orton Edge and John Cena were all involved in the event But it was the opening match between Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan, which left a lasting impression on fans This match would be the intercontinental champion versus the US champion in a special Interpromotional matchup and the match was nothing like anything else on the card It was fast paced and much more inclined to a match scene on the independent scene at the time rather than a traditional WWE matchup it was excellent stuff from two talents who were going to win WWE's top prize and it just highlighted how both men were ready for the main event scene in WWE Number five WrestleMania 33. It's just so crazy, man Even now you got to appreciate and sometimes I don't even think they appreciate the talent that they have on their roster And if they just utilize them in the correct way You have potential super stars and mega stars waiting to be born. You just got to use them correctly WrestleMania 33 was one of the longest pay-per-view events WWE have ever delivered The main show of the event was over five hours in length and as a consequence a lot of the action in the later half of the pay-per-view Was forgettable use of the crowd as well as viewers watching at home being completely exhausted Matches such as Randy Orton versus Bray Wyatt and the main event showdown between Roman Reigns versus the Undertaker all fell flat Due to the in-ring action failing to excite a fatigued audience. Without a doubt WrestleMania 33 peaked with its opening match as Shane McMahon took on AJ Styles. This match was so fun and McMahon and AJ worked really well together The match was smartly booked and McMahon was able to hold his own against the former champion I was a fun man expected a great match between the two especially because it involved AJ But fans certainly didn't expect the match to be a defined highlight Did WWE stand out event? I was a fun man for Hell in a Cell? 2013 as well established that the worst match of 2019 and perhaps the worst Hell in a Cell match Of all time was the bean versus Seth Rollins. However, the match that opened that same pay-per-view was Hell in a Cell match Faced off against Sasha Banks for the War Women's title and the match exceeded all expectations It's crazy how it started so great and failed so far In one pay-per-view in one show it started off chef's kiss to fucking dog piss The two decorated women clearly had the intention of stealing the show and creating a memorable Hell in a Cell match That would be remembered forever The only downside lynching Banks's time in Hell in a Cell was that the pay-per-view had ultimately peaked with the first match Meaning every match that came after it had an impossible task of following such a classic matchup number three battleground 2017 the 2017 battleground pay-per-view was critically panned by fans as well as notable wrestling journalists such as Dave Meltzer The pay-per-view seemed to represent everything that wasn't working about the Smackdown product at the time And the pay-per-view stood out for all the wrong reasons the main event of the show saw Jinder Mahal retain his WDWB title against Randy Orton in a truly Awful Punjabi prison matches that should have been strong pay-per-view encounters such as AJ Styles versus Kevin Owens and Cena versus Rusa fell completely flat and nothing on the pay-per-view was seemingly able to connect with fans That is with one exception the pay-per-view kicked off with a match for the Smackdown tag titles as a new day took on the Usos This match was truly special and it showcased just how well the two beloved tag teams work together Yeah, they worked very well The two teams incorporated storytelling combined with some of the finest in-ring action to steal the show The match was so appreciated by fans that they claimed after the show on social media that the match should have been the main event And it remains hard to disagree with this sentiment number two backlash 2018 former WWB champion the Miz is often criticized for not being great in the ring But a backlash 2018 the Miz proved his critics wrong And he had a pretty good match on Monday Night Raw with Seth Rollins a couple weeks ago The Miz can actually put on a solid match a solid to well it depends on the opponent But he can put on some good matches. He definitely can he's feud with Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship Oh, I think they were on Smackdown live at the time few years of many It wasn't like many years But it was like a few years back when they started Smackdown live and he was the Intercontinental champion That was great. That was great as he delivered a performance of a lifetime against Seth Rollins The two would face off in the opening contest of the pay-per-view for the Intercontinental title There was such a surprise to see such a stellar match unfold The two just instantly clicked and the Miz seemed motivated and hungry to deliver an absolute classic It's hard to disagree with the claims that this was the Miz's greatest match as it was certainly one of his finest outings The rest of the pay-per-view was incredibly disappointing with nothing noteworthy happening The main event of the show saw some over Joe take on Roman Reigns This match was met with profanity fuel chances as well as chance for wrestlers that weren't even WWE at the time Thankfully the pay-per-view match card had the Miz vs. Rollins or else that pay-per-view could have been a serious contender for one of the worst events of the PG era And number one the Royal Rumble 2014 I'm glad this is on the list. Oh my god This was honestly a lot of people were coined in this the match of that year I remember watching this and I was like hey they put on a great match even though Daniel Bryan didn't win He's gonna be in the Royal Rumble right? Oh my god this match was good After the first 30 minutes of the 2014 Royal Rumble pay-per-view had taken place Fans were under the impression that the pay-per-view could be an all-time classic Daniel Bryan and Brayboy had just collided in the opening contest and the match was outstanding It was a standout match in both men's perspective careers Once the match had taken place the pay-per-view just seemed to fall apart Cena vs. Orton's title match was met with disdain from fans who had no interest in seeing the match for what seemed like the hundredth time The actual Rumble match was insanely controversial and saw the final WWE appearance of CM Punk as he left WWE the very next day The match saw fans turn on everyone in the match as they refused to put on an immensely popular Daniel Bryan The Rumble, when Batista won the match the fans outright rejected WWE's creative vision to make Batista the top babyface in the company Ultimately the pay-per-view became synonymous with the trend of WWE refusing to listen to the fans And making major booking decisions that fans simply hadn't even seen Oh the sister Abigail to the barricade was so cool Oh man That was a fan Tastic match It's a match I always remember from that year That Royal Rumble Oh that was so good man Oh that was so good Like I said Vince will book something great Fantastic And then you see the rest of the show and you're just like what the fuck is this What the fuck is this So comment down below Let me know some other pay-per-views you guys can think of They weren't on this list and it started off hot Started off great and then it just fell apart During the show Let me know down below but I appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel Road to 150K and I'm still here and speaking to the rest of the champ of the world Appreciate you all keeping me safe
