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

#1 Great Balls of Fire (2017)

This still remains an insane name.

Here we are, the most noteworthy and bizarre one-and-done WWE pay-per-view in recent history. This was initially going to be Bad Blood. However, WWE did not want 'Blood' in the name, so they went with 'Balls'. Great Balls of Fire -- which seemed bizzare -- sparked major controversy amongst the Internet Wrestling Community. They could have gone full old-school with the look, but it was just a regular WWE pay-per-view. The company missed a step.

The show was actually pretty great. It had a fun build and the action lived up to some of the hype. The Bar defeated the Hardy Boyz to retain their Raw Tag Team Championships in a 30-minute Iron Man match, while Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks wrestled their best match together. Even the build to Enzo Amore vs Big Cass was pretty good, even if the action was average.

However, this show will be defined by the two biggest matches. Braun Strowman defeated Roman Reigns in an Ambulance Match before Reigns completely snapped and attempted to kill Strowman by locking him in the ambulance and crashing it into a truck. We need more of that drama in today's WWE, please. That was followed by the hotly anticipated Universal Championship match between Brock Lesnar and Samoa Joe.

It was intense as hell and despite being pretty short, will be remembered as one of the better Universal title matches involving the Beast. This show was good, but the name just could not continue. Especially since WWE moved away from brand-exclusive pay-per-views.

Do you think any of these events could make a return in the future? It seems extremely unlikely, but anything can happen in the WWE.
