5 best single-branded PPVs of the New Era

#4 Great Balls of Fire 2017

Brock Lesnar and Samoa Joe squared off one-on-one for the first time

Despite its embarrassing name and hilarious advertising, the first, and now only, Great Balls of Fire event turned out to be one of the best surprises of 2017.

The show, which was a Raw branded event, took place last July and featured a blockbuster main event between Brock Lesnar and Samoa Joe as its main event, in one of Brock Lesnar's few notably good matches from 2017.

Other matches on the card saw Roman Reigns square off against Braun Strowman in a ridiculous but highly enjoyable Ambulance match, Sasha Banks take on Alexa Bliss in a fun women's title match, and a thrilling iron-man match between The Hardys and The Bar.

While the show didn't necessarily feature any amazing matches, it was a consistent show from Raw and set a precedent of consistency from the brand that would see them rise above their Tuesday night counterparts as 2017 wore on.
