10 times WWE decisions made the fans shake their heads in 2017

2017 was a very exciting year for WWE. Not only were fans treated to dream matches like John Cena versus Roman Reigns, Finn Balor versus Shinsuke Nakamura and 'The Money in The Bank' Ladder match, they also witnessed one of the best WrestleMania's in recent memory, a reunion that took many fans by surprise and a mid-level star becoming a WWE Champion.

Unfortunately for WWE, every good decision was often overshadowed by a poor decision. In fact, WWE has had several down spells throughout 2017 and while their decision making has gotten better after SummerSlam, there are still a plethora of mistakes that they need to answer.


#10 Randy Orton defeating Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 33

WWE made a lot of bad decisions during the storyline between Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt leading up to WrestleMania 33, but the worst of them all had to be the fact that Wyatt came out the loser. Not only did this rob The Eater of Worlds of a WrestleMania moment that could have cemented his career for years to come, it also destroyed his momentum for the rest of the year.

After losing to Orton at WrestleMania, Wyatt was unsuccessful in his house of Horrors rematch and was then traded to Monday Night Raw in The Superstar Shakeup. Wyatt did spend a little time chasing The Universal Title once on Raw, but that quickly devolved into a subpar feud with Finn Balor that fizzled out when Wyatt was hit with a viral infection.

With all that in mind, Wyatt has been slowly crumbling in 2017 and without some kind of jump start to his character in the next couple of months, he is just going to drift further and further into obscurity.
