10 shortest WWE pay per view matches of 2017
Not every pay per view can be an instant classic, and as such, not every pay per view match can tear the house down. Whether it be because of storyline reasons or just because you need a good squash match from time to time, the majority of bouts on WWE PPV cards as of late haven’t actually gone that long.
A few of these are almost certainly going to frustrate fans who wanted to block these contests out of their minds forever, but hindsight is a funny thing. Some of these booking decisions may have come across as utterly ludicrous at the time, but when looking back on them, they become more and more logical.
Of course, a select handful of them will never be justifiable, which is one of the many reasons why the burning passion of the IWC will likely never die. Oh, and by the way, pre-show matches and NXT shows aren’t included.
With that being said, here are the 10 shortest WWE pay per view matches of 2017.
#10) Rich Swann & Sasha Banks vs. Alicia Fox & Noam Dar – 6 mins 20 secs
While Rich Swann may be nothing more than a distant memory in the present day, he was actually quite a popular figure in the early stages of 2017. He was so popular, in fact, that he got the chance to team up with Sasha Banks in an intriguing mixed tag bout against Alicia Fox and Noam Dar at Extreme Rules.
Contrary to what many fans were expecting going in, it was actually a decent match. The four were able to mesh well together and while some people thought it was a waste of time, it gave them all something to do. It was quick, it was entertaining, and it helped to raise the profile of two cruiserweights if only for one night.
