These days WWE is all about moments. There is a big focus on WrestleMania moments but they only come around once a year so superstars try their best to have great moments all year round. Some moments are great. Others, not so much.
When you think of great moments since 2010 you think about CM Punk winning the WWE Championship in Chicago. Maybe you think of Daniel Bryan winning in the WrestleMania 30 main event, or maybe you think of Dolph Ziggler cashing in on the Raw after WrestleMania 29. There are different things that make moments great like emotion crowd support. Bad moments either lack these or are just completely stupid or shouldn't have happened or one reason or another.
Some of these are bad for not being funny and awkward to watch, while others are badly timed and in really bad taste. These are the 5 worst WWE moments of the 2010s.
#5 Sheamus beats Daniel Bryan in 18 seconds
Now at the time, this would probably have to be number 1 on the list but given that it eventually lead to Daniel Bryan main eventing WrestleMania 2 years later, it isn't as bad in hindsight. It's still bad though.
In the opening match of WrestleMania 28, Sheamus defeated Daniel Bryan to win the World Heavyweight Championship. Despite Sheamus being a babyface, many fans at the event were furious that they were robbed of seeing Daniel Bryan perform on WWE's biggest stage.
Fans chanted for Bryan during the show and the next night on Raw and ultimately after this happened Bryan got even more over with the audience.
#4 The Old Day
The New Day feuded with Gallows and Anderson in 2016 is one of the least funny segments ever happened during this feud.
Gallows and Anderson introduced 3 men dressed as the New Day but here's the funny part, they were old. They made terrible comedy and mocked the New Day for a painfully long time until the New Day interrupted, after what felt like an eternity.
The crowd was dead silent during the whole thing and it only led to New Day beating up the 3 men and then leaving. A complete waste of time that will somehow be remembered for a long time, but definitely not in a good way.
#3 Hornswaggle is the anonymous Raw GM
In the lead up to the 1000th episode of Monday Night Raw WWE decided to have former GM's show up on Raw to guest GM the show. On the July 9th episode in 2012, the anonymous GM made a return for the night and was in charge.
This all led to Santino Marella and Jerry Lawler finding out that Hornswoggle was the one sending all those emails from under the ring. After all this time it was Hornswoggle. WWE threw away so much time doing this only to reveal who it was in a comedy segment. Bad choice WWE.
#2 Paige disrespects the Flair family
On Raw in 2015, during a contract signing between Paige and Charlotte Flair, one of the worst moments in the 2010s and in the entire history of the company happened.
Paige said to Charlotte that her little brother "didn't have much fight in him". If you don't know Charlotte's brother Reid died in 2013 from a drug overdose. The line was distasteful and was made even worse by the fact that WWE didn't tell Ric Flair that this would happen ahead of time. If WWE wanted to do something this offensive they should have asked Flair first to make sure he was ok with it. WWE probably wants you to forget this ever happened.
#1 Dean Ambrose turning heel on the worst night possible
Last year on the October 22nd episode of Raw, Roman Reigns announced that he would be leaving WWE to battle leukemia. He completed his emotional speech and hugged two of his best friends, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins at the top of the ramp.
In the main event of the show, Dean and Seth beat Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler to win the Raw Tag Team Championships. It was a great moment and the fans loved every second of it. That was until Dean turned on Seth to end the show.
Michael Cole was saying things like "not tonight" and "not on this night" in direct reference to Roman. Now even if they already planned to turn Dean heel, they could have waited a few weeks to pull the trigger. The fans were unhappy that something terrible had happened in real life and WWE had the chance to send those fans, some of whom were crying after Roman's speech, home happy and they opted to further a storyline instead. At the end of the day Michael Cole was right, it shouldn't have happened "on this night".
