Many fans praise NXT for their consistency and excellence when it comes to their Takeover Specials and this year proved that with many of the best main events coming from the developmental brand.

The United Kingdom shows also produced some fantastic wrestling and gave us one of the best feuds of 2017; Tyler Bate vs Pete Dune.

As far as the main roster goes, there were some fantastic main events on some of their B-Shows and the main event of one Big 4 pay-per-view was the personification of fast-paced, hard-hitting action.

For all the bad main events WWE gave us, there was also some great wrestling as well. So, this article will rank the better main event matches from 2017.

In the previous article, we looked at some of the worst WWE main events from 2017, but it only gets better with this list.

After winning the No.1 Contender’s Match at Extreme Rules, Samoa Joe earned the opportunity to face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship. The buildup to the match was fantastic and made Joe look like a monster who would use anything and everything to win the title. 

Before the match began, Joe launched a sneak attack on the champion and laid him out with an uranage through the announcement table. The actual match lasted about six minutes but was another action-packed bout similar to the match between Lesnar and Goldberg from WrestleMania 33.

The biggest drawback in this match was Lesnar winning with one F-5, but the match was still fun to watch.
