      Should've been Funhouse II. Obviously crowds being back for Mania makes it less effective, but that's clearly what the feud was shooting for, cheesy stipulation to cap off a cheesy feud. Would've been a different type of Funhouse too, darker tone - and unlike Cena, I'm sure Orton would've fought back.

      TBF WWE's failure to create new women stars or burrying someone like Rhea Ripley into oblivion can be attributed to their heavy overreliance of the Four Horsewomenand to be honest it's time to move on from them. However I like heel Bayley since it's a radical departure of her previous goody-two-shoes babyface persona and the Big Time Becks 'heel' run is good - hope they make her and Seth Rollins a heel power couple (I think WWE wanted Seth's feud with Edge to have went on through Wrestlemania involving Lynch and Beth Phoenix as well, but gotta satisfy those Saudi viewers)

In Reigns/Balor, the horribleness was _the actual finish of the match,_ with Roman only winning because, uh, God is on his heel-ass side? And this wasn't a botch, it was _intentional._ Omega/Moxley was an embarrassing screw-up that said AEW needs to vet their pyro sources better and spend more on them.

    the "exploding ring match" should not be on the list, the ring "explosion" (or really, the sparklers going off) was NOT part of the match, Omega won after a one winged angel, got the pinfall win, celebrated, and left the ring before Eddie Kingston came in to protect his frenemy from the sparklers... the match was OVER. and it was even stated in the video "the match was good" so obviously NOT one of the 10 worst MATCHES, certainly one of the worst endings to a PPV, but not part of the match.
    seriously they had really screwed up in ever booking the match with that stipulation, there was no real way to do it right, if they had a big explosion, people would have freaked out and complained about it being unsafe (such as when matt hardy hit his head on the table bump, and kept going) but doing a weak "explosion" was also going to be bad, as it was.
