10 Worst WWE Ladder Matches

1. AJ Styles vs. James Ellsworth - SmackDown - November 22, 2016

The Phenomenal One was WWE Champion here and had already lost to Ellsworth twice previously, with more than a little help from rival Dean Ambrose. 

You would think AJ would be due a W, but you would be wrong. Ellsworth was sporting a neck brace and was quickly beaten up by the champ, who placed him under a ladder and began the climb when that wacky Lunatic Fringe entered the equation. 

Styles managed to fend him off and take back control, but Ellsworth recovered and pushed him off the ladder, with AJ taking a scary-looking fall over the top rope.

Ellsworth then caught Styles coming back into the ring with a Superkick, with AJ’s foot getting caught in the rope as he fell, as the chinless wonder secured a SmackDown contract.

More of an angle than a match but that doesn’t mean we have to like it.
