Grading every WWE PPV of the year 2018 (Part 1)
2018 is about to culminate a few weeks from today.
This year can never be called the best year for WWE in terms of creativity. But when it comes to quality of matches it was arguably one of the best years in WWE history.
The PPV calendar of 2018 is about to end with one last stop: TLC. WWE served us some memorable PPVs this year, along with some really forgettable ones.
WWE ended its trend of brand-specific PPVs last year. This led to fewer PPVs this year. WWE has given us a total of 14 PPVs in 2018.
Today, we will dwell deep into all these PPVs and will try to find out positive and negative aspects about all of them. We shall also grade them upon this.
So, without any further ado, let us start this review for all the WWE PPVs of the year 2018.
#1 Royal Rumble
Royal Rumble 2018 was highly anticipated, just like any other Royal Rumble PPV of the past. This year for the first time ever a women Royal Rumble match took place at the aforesaid PPV. It also had a triple threat match for the Universal Title and a handicap match for the WWE Championship.
Positives
Royal Rumble was one of those PPV of 2018 which had more positives than negatives. Royal Rumble was won by worthy superstars and other matches were fine as well. The first ever all women Royal Rumble match was decent, with a few surprise entrants making it much more fun.
The surprise return of Rey Mysterio and debut of Ronda Rousey received a great reaction from the fans.
Negatives
The biggest problem with this PPV was the men's Royal Rumble match. It contained very little surprise entrants.
Plus the two major title matches were a letdown overall. Rousey's debut took away the spotlight from Asuka.
Grade: 7.5/10
