3 WWE PPV matches of 2018 you might have forgotten about

2018 was a hell of a year for the WWE. They started the year with a bang by giving the fans what they wanted at the Royal Rumble PPV. They gave the fans a solid WrestleMania PPV but then followed it up with an extra dose of unnecessary PPVs which just bored the fans.

However, WWE Creative realized this mistake and soon did away with the brand exclusive PPVs. After WrestleMania 34, the average of PPVs/months started reducing as fans started getting quality product. But, things worsened as the year ended as WWE Raw and SmackDown Live received the lowest viewership numbers of all time in early December. Vince McMahon and co. then decided to step up and freshen things up on the main roster and promised a much improved product in 2019.

In 2018, a lot of PPVs took place which meant that there were a lot of unnecessary match-ups as well on those PPVs. So, here are the 3 PPV matches of 2018 the WWE Universe would have forgotten about -

#3 The Bludgeon Brothers vs Team Hell No - SmackDown Tag Team Championships, Extreme Rules

Daniel Bryan's heel turn has made the fans forget about his face character

Daniel Bryan is the WWE Champion on SD Live currently but he was battling for the SmackDown Live Tag Team titles last year at the Extreme Rules PPV.

His former tag team partner, Kane, made an unexpected return to the blue brand to save Bryan from a merciless attack by the Bludgeon Brothers. The then SD Live General Manager Paige then made a Tag Team Championship match official for the Extreme Rules PPV, which saw the Tag Team champions retain their belts.

However, it was a memorable moment for Team Hell No fans, as they saw the team re-unite after a long time. Things have changed drastically since then, as Erick Rowan has become an ally of Daniel Bryan now!

#2 - Roman Reigns vs Jinder Mahal, Money in the Bank

Back in June 2018, Jinder Mahal was seen as a credible heel superstar on Raw. Even Vince McMahon saw immense potential in him as he was inserted in a rivalry with Vince's golden boy, Roman Reigns, in order to get the Big Dog over with the WWE Universe.

Jinder Mahal cost Roman Reigns an opportunity to compete in the Money in the Bank ladder match by interfering in his qualification match. This led to a battle between The Big Dog and The Modern Day Maharaja at the Money in the Bank PPV. Surprisingly, the fans cheered for the heel, Jinder Mahal, against the babyface, Roman Reigns. However, Reigns easily defeated Mahal in that match.

There was no follow-up to this feud as the Creative team inserted Roman Reigns in a feud with Bobby Lashley soon.

#1 - The Bar vs Titus Worldwide (with Dana Brooke), RAW Tag Team Championships match, Elimination Chamber 2018

The RAW tag team division was still way better that day than it is today

The Bar had a dominant run as the Tag Team champions on Raw and they defeated some of the top tag teams of the red brand during their reign. They had solid matches on PPVs with the likes of The Usos, The S.H.I.E.L.D and the team of Jason Jordan and Seth Rollins. However, on one occasion, they faced Titus Worldwide on a PPV, in a match that no one ever expected to take place on a PPV's main show.
