10 Worst WWE Matches Of 2023
The worst matches from WWE in 2023
5. Ronda Rousey vs. Shayna Baszler - SummerSlam
When Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler won the Women’s Tag Team Championships in May, they promised to shake things up and bring some respect and prestige to the floundering titles.
33 days later, the duo lost the belts when Baszler turned on Rousey completely out of the blue. It was later explained that she was jealous of her friend, setting up what was being dubbed an “MMA Rules” match at SummerSlam.
The two women traded worked-shoot style punches, kicks, and submission holds for seven-and-a-half minutes before Baszler got the win. This sort of thing has never gone down well with audiences who, shockingly, want to see pro wrestling, not a pretend version of UFC.
There was little flow to this contest and zero moments that deserved any sort of big pop. At least the fight pit has a big metal box to play with and sell toys of; this had none of that.
Shayna got absolutely nothing off the back of the biggest win of her career. So there’s that, too.
