10 WWE Matches of 2017 that didn't live up to the expectations

Randy Orton vs. Jinder Mahal Punjabi Prison
These two took part in many of 2017's worst matches - not just with each other.

#8 Cesaro vs. Jinder Mahal (Fastlane)

Cesaro vs. Jinder Mahal Fastlane
An unwanted "bonus."

The fact that I have to feature Cesaro on a list like this should tell you that the match must have been bad.

Humorously, this was described as a "bonus matchup" by Michael Cole. If that's what constitutes a bonus, I want to go back to my basic pay.

The one and only thing that came out of this match is that we learned there are some people even Cesaro can't carry. Jinder Mahal is one of those. It was a whole big batch of nothing. Every time Cesaro tried to make it into something, Jinder Mahal threw it back into oblivion. It wasn't long before the crowd was chanting for CM Punk in between telling us the match was "boring."

Eventually, Rusev came down to distract Jinder Mahal and Cesaro put him away, to our relief, even if it was anticlimactic. That Jinder Mahal went on to become WWE Champion not long after a performance like this should be embarrassing for WWE.
