5 recent WWE pay-per-views that did not last beyond a year

#2 Roadblock (2016)

WWE actually booked two Roadblock events in one year.

This pay-per-view only lasted one year, but it happened twice. WWE carelessly booked two Roadblock pay-per-views in 2016, even if the second one had a tagline at the end of it. The first was a WWE Network special between Fastlane and WrestleMania 32 and the second was the final event of the year, as WWE needed a new name for a Raw-exclusive pay-per-view.

The pre-Mania show had some interesting matches, like Brock Lesnar vs Bray Wyatt, which got turned into Lesnar vs Luke Harper on the fly. Charlotte Flair defeated Natalya in the final Divas Championship match in WWE history. The main event was Triple H vs Dean Ambrose for the Game's WWE Championship. It served as a last-ditch effort to spice up the main event of WrestleMania, but nothing major actually happened.

The December show, Roadblock: End of the Line was similarly inconsequential. There were some big moments on the show though. Charlotte defeated Sasha Banks in a feud-ending Iron Man match, while the main events were decent but formulaic, involving the likes of Owens, Jericho, Reigns and Rollins. Also, Neville made his return here and joined the Cruiserweight division, turning heel in the process.

The shows were fine, but WWE decided not to continue with Roadblock when they scaled down the number of pay-per-views on the calendar in 2017. It's funny though, Roadblock is a much better pay-per-view name than Fastlane.
