You can have the most lackluster match card available but if the main event delivers, that's what the audience leave with when they walk out of the stadium. All WWE has to do to make a pay-per-view great is the Main-Event that is the final talking point of the show.

But WWE have sometimes fallen short so many times in executing the perfect main-event. The not so promising main-events then become the only talking point of the pay-per-view, also taking credit for great matches that might have happened up the match-card.

So let's take a look at the 5 disappointing PPV endings.

#5 Hell in a Cell 2018

Brock Lesnar's interference was baseless

I really couldn't understand Brock Lesnar's return to RAW when the whole WWE Universe was actually happy after his exit. In many ways, WWE Hell in a Cell was a great show which featured some amazing matches despite being an undercard on the paper. Not just the fact that Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman were left dismantled in the ring by F5's that Reigns has kicked out more than a million times already, but also because both of them seemed to had taken a great 10-minute nap all the while Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler were fighting Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins.

WWE might have gotten the crowd popping, for a while but the ending itself was very disappointing considering how hyped up this match was made to be after the entire RAW was about these 6 Superstars.

#4 WWE Royal Rumble 2015

The Roman Reigns saga which has seen WWE push the Superstar to the pinnacle of WWE might be the most disappointing tale in WWE which the company has achieved by not listening to the fans. Daniel Bryan's return from injury was seen as a vital point in his career where the entire WWE Universe was hoping to see Daniel Bryan win the Royal Rumble and challenge Brock Lesner to win back the Championship he never lost.

By that point, WWE had already realized that Roman Reigns might not pull off the main-event as yet and was not ready to take the responsibility. But lo and behold, WWE managed to get the biggest boos from the Philadelphia crowd at Roman Reigns victory.

After Reigns single-handedly eliminated Kane and The Big Show, the crowd was already bored and booing for Roman Reigns' god-like strength. The Rock returning also did not garner the best crowd pop that one would have expected, and at the end of the day, after The Rock helped Roman Reigns, it wasn't a happy WWE Universe after the end of the PPV.

#3 WrestleMania XXVII

Speaking of The Rock and WrestleMania, this was a main-event where The Rock himself was to blame for a very sour ending. After it was revealed that The Rock will be the host of WrestleMania XXVII, the audience knew something was up.

At that point of time, The Miz and John Cena had their WWE Title Match on the line and what can be called a build up at WrestleMania XXVII for a potential match at WrestleMania XXVIII was a very lame move. The Rock ended up using The Rock Botton on John Cena to give Miz the victory and then attacking The Miz as well.

#2 WWE Hell in a Cell 2014

At Hell in a Cell 2014, Dean Ambrose was finally set to take his revenge on his ex-Shield partner Seth Rollins. After a great build up to their storyline, both the Superstars faced each other at Hell in a Cell. At the very particular point when Dean Ambrose was on his way to execute his finisher, the lights went out. Bray Wyatt who had been out for a long time supposedly made his return.

This was accompanied by a hologram of a ghost in the middle of the ring, a girl ghost and very weird noises around the arena. Dean Ambrose, The Lunatic Fringe was left clueless at this sudden Halloween antics. Bray Wyatt then appeared in the ring and attacked Dean Ambrose. Seth Rollins took advantage of the unconscious Dean Ambrose by meekly crawling to get the pin and thus ended what could have been one of the best storyline of WWE. Yes, Dean Ambrose couldn't get his revenge.

#1 WWE TLC 2014

Let's continue with the storylines that WWE has bestowed upon The Lunatic Fringe. Dean Ambrose was pitted against Bray Wyatt after the horrendous Hell in a Cell 2014 ending. There are possibly two things Dean Ambrose is afraid of; Girl Hologram ghosts and weird noises and a TV attached to a very short cable.

After a chaotic match, Dean Ambrose thought to end the match by using a television monitor. Dean Ambrose might have been thinking to hit him with the monitor or electrocute him for some reason. But the cable was really short and it couldn't reach it till Bray Wyatt. And for some reason, because the cable was really short, it exploded on Dean Ambrose' face only to allow Bray Wyatt to use Sister Abigail for the victory. This also marked the end of their feud.
