AJ Styles vs John Cena was definitely the feud of the year. I stopped watching WWE from 2013 until the brand split in 2016. That was a really good brand split and SmackDown was amazing.
I was at the first smack down PPV, backlash. It was the first and only wwe live show I’ve even been to. I saw AJ in impact a few years earlier and also got to see Kurt angle and others. It was really cool to see AJ win the championship though at backlash
2016 will possibly be the most underrated year for a long time. Mostly because Smackdown was so amazing with good feuds, so many incredible matches and especially complete shows that made you excited for the next week. You could tell how Vince was pissed off that the "B show" was so much better. It's sad how this time won't get any praise, because delusional people always compare the worst of today to the best of the Attitude Era.
That’s 5 v 5 was amazing! Goldberg vs Lenser was also such a great moment too. Definitely the peak of Goldberg’s wwe run. The cruiserweight title and ic title matches were also both diamonds in the rough.
Darrion Gray raw was at least watchable because of Jericho and Owens SD and nxt were great and we had some great promos and brand exclusive PPvs helped too to get more storyline’s
I was at Battleground 2016 and what a show it was! I’m surprised you didn’t mention the DEAFENING pop Bayley got for her debut on the main roster as Sasha’s tag partner. It was a great night for sure

2016 was basically modern WWE's version of the Attitude Era going through Y2K. A really good year overall with excitement throughout and few duds that happened to include the WrestleMania of that year.
It is funny to watch these videos, and to see how the Internet changes reaction wise. Like I remember at the time everyone said Dolph versus The Miz was the best at no mercy 2016.
2016 was my first year as a wwe fan. I’ll never forget my first PPV battleground, seeing some guy called AJ styles beat John Cena, Kevin Owens friendship with Chris Jericho and Goldberg squashing Brock lesnar. In the years since I don’t feel WWE have ever topped when I first got involved.
Smack down was amazing in 2016; the Heath Slater free agent storyline was amazing, Miz/Ziggler and Ambrose/Styles was fun to, and James Ellsworth was great (if overexposed by the end of the year) when he was on. The first Raw of the brand split was class to, loved Banks/Flair and Balor becoming a No 1 contender, with the Owens/Jericho friendship being loads of fun
AwesomeToes I remember becoming a huge mark for James Ellsworth but hated him so much after about 6 weeks. I liked what he did with carmella tho. Raw started out brilliant under the brand split but got a little stale towards the end of the year.
Brock Lesnar is pretty much the best I mean I believe that was his first the worst is Curtis Axel because even though he won Intercontinental Championship like his Hall Of Fame father Mr Perfect making them the only and first father/son to hold the same title
@@tehjmoney2604 I disagree, technically Heidenreich was a Paul Heyman guy and atleast Axel won a championship while Heidenreich, well not even Heyman could help him.
@Asad Fahiem sorry but your opinion is 💩 2011 was really really bad and poring the 2 things i remember from it is triple h vs undertaker at wrestlemania and john vs punk at money in the bank
When CM Punk was mistreated in 2013, I stopped watching wrestling. AJ Styles' arrival in 2016 made me come back. During that year, I found WWE had a roster so deep and talented I was seriously convinced we were about to enter a true new era where little to nothing would go wrong. Boy, was I so naïve...
Is it me or was In a way 2016 was a bit of a career resurgence of WWE and them opening the doors for Indy stars to come in? Well played Daddy Full Sail
I got back into wrestling in 2016 and the first show I watched was Battleground. That show will always be special to me and Zayn vs. Owens was incredible.
15. Fastlane 14. Roadblock end of the line 13. Wrestlemania 32 12. Summerslam 11. Money In The Bank 10. No Mercy 09. Hell In A Cell 08. Clash Of Champions 07. TLC 06. Survivor Series 05. Payback 04. Extreme Rules 03. Backlash 02. Royal Rumble 01. Battleground
I got back into wrestling just after Battleground in 2016 so all the PPVs after that are really fun for me. But especially Survivor Series! I remember disliking Survivor Series when I was younger cause I just wasn't a fan of tag team wrestling. But the Men's 10-man Survivor Series match from 2016 might be the best ever, and Brock vs Goldberg was such a great surprise. Great show.
WrestleMania 32 was underwhelming but it was the Women's night because we had the last ever Divas' match and the first ever Women's match and both were amazing
Wm32 was the only PPV I turned off early I was not a fan of the Roman experiment, however I always thought he’d be a better heel and when he came back in 2020 I knew it was gonna be gas
1. Summerslam 2. Survivor Series 3. Hell In A Cell 4. Backlash 5. No Mercy 6. Clash Of Champions 7. Royal Rumble 8. Money In The Bank 9. Extreme Rules 10. Battleground 11. Wrestlemania 32 12. TLC 13. Payback 14. Roadblock End Of The Line 15. Fastlane
AJ vs Cena, Sami vs Owens, the first year the women's division were actually given time, and the year where the IC Title actually mattered. 2016 was a good year.
Battleground had the best preshow match that I can think of. My first live ppv and the Usos had residual Roman heat. Breezango was just starting to take off and the crowd was super behind them. Amazing show
Wasn't the Roman ,Aj styles an Extreme rules match? In all seriousness though what is the difference between a nodq, Extreme rules and no holds barred match?
2016 - People talked most about Daniel Bryan's retirement (cough cough SmackDown Live GM cough cough), the return of Goldberg and the debut of AJ Styles. Shane McMahon: Is my return a joke to you? I mean, (me speaking BTW), that was like, the largest pop of 2016 along Cena and Austin, HBK and Foley at WrestleMania 32.
I actually thought Miz vs. Ziggler at No Mercy was better than the triple threat title match. Being there live might have helped; the interferences and heel work from Miz and Maryse kicked it to a new level.
I am under the firm belief that 2016 was one of the greatest years in wrestling history. Every single month had something amazing/historic happening, and the stupid wasn't too bad. It even capped the end of the Roman reigns saga, and proves that if he shuts up and beats people up, he isn't that bad
I went to Battleground and Backlash. I personally enjoyed Backlash more. The reason being is Becky Lynch and AJ Styles. Not that Battleground wasn't enjoyable. It was. I just personally liked Backlash more.
Im waiting for "Every PPV ever Ranked"
JOIN US..... *for the next 7 hours*
@matt ?
The ultimate one-up over every other wrestling channel
I’d actually enjoy that😂
Ross will spend 47 hours ranking them then change the order 3 minutes from the end of the video.
AJ Styles vs John Cena was definitely the feud of the year. I stopped watching WWE from 2013 until the brand split in 2016. That was a really good brand split and SmackDown was amazing.
If you think about wrestling only instead of the starpower then Miz vs Dolph should be
@@thevillager4024 i completely agree with you
Gotta disagree there, Miz VS Ziggler/Bryan was something else. But SmackDown in 2016 really was special.
Agreed...smackdown in 2016 was very good

In other words every ppv can be summarised with "aj had a great match"
Would you expect anything less from AJ Styles?
2016 was one of the best years in the pg era
2016 was the begin of reality era
@@troy9972 no, it was the begin of new era
Survivor series was my favorite show of the year.
My favorite too
Specially 5v5 men's match
Agreed man I mean the build up for it was so great and the match was so great with SD winning it
That’s 5 v 5 was amazing! Goldberg vs Lenser was also such a great moment too. Definitely the peak of Goldberg’s wwe run. The cruiserweight title and ic title matches were also both diamonds in the rough.
Survivor Series is memorable for one thing Brock Lesnar vs Bill Goldberg what would be surprisingly a squash match
@@tehjmoney2604 no it's remembered of being the last great one of the big 4 ppvs in wwe
2016 was amazing in general. Life was good, and so was WWE.
true
Except WM32
“In the end, Charlotte prevailed” evergreen statement
I Feel Like People Took 2016 For Granted
It Was Pretty Much The Best Year of the Decade Mostly Do To Smackdown And NXT
Darrion Gray raw was at least watchable because of Jericho and Owens SD and nxt were great and we had some great promos and brand exclusive PPvs helped too to get more storyline’s

No Mercy was my favorite PPV of 2016 because Dolph Ziggler defeated The Miz to win the Intercontinental Championship and keeping his career intact
Survivor Series Cultaholic Ranks:
2016: #6 2017: #3

Not bad for the forgotten Big 4 PPV
Honestly 2016 was one of my favourite years for WWE, especially for RAW and Smackdown.
RAW sucked dude. The Only thing I liked is Charlotte vs Sasha.
But SD was after the Draft for the most a rly good show
Seth Rollins V Roman Reigns at MITB was my favourite match of the year, a year with excellent matches in WWE. Pre Saudi shows too, those were the days

Day 22 of asking for: "Every Paul Heyman Guy Ranking From Worst to Best"
I don't know if there's enough for a list. Maybe we could go on-screen and backstage wrestlers he advocated strongly for.
Brock Lesnar is pretty much the best I mean I believe that was his first the worst is Curtis Axel because even though he won Intercontinental Championship like his Hall Of Fame father Mr Perfect making them the only and first father/son to hold the same title
@@tehjmoney2604 I disagree, technically Heidenreich was a Paul Heyman guy and atleast Axel won a championship while Heidenreich, well not even Heyman could help him.
I’d say Lesnar, punk, Cesaro, ryback, axel. But I liked roadblock because I got on camera.
Roman Reigns: *yeets in*
Rip the hero Shad Gaspard 😢
2016 was a great for wrestling (probably the best year of the decade for WWE)
Quavon Blume agreed man
@Asad Fahiem sorry but your opinion is 💩
2011 was really really bad and poring the 2 things i remember from it is triple h vs undertaker at wrestlemania and john vs punk at money in the bank
yeah smackdown was brilliant raw was good but not as good as smackdown. 2014-2016 was the show of Dean ambrose.
@@thatsroughbuddy7874 Wrong.
I miss 2016, what a great year was for the WWE and for me
when i look back at Roman Reigns matches they seem much better to me now than they seemed then.
The fans didn't want to say this because how much they heated roman in that time
Cuz we hated him
The year I got back into wrestling full time
same
2016 was the first year I started watching wrestling! What a special year it was! Especially for SmackDown.
2016 was my first year too

Me too!
Can we get “Every Wrestlemania Theme Song from Worst to Best?”
Wrestlemania 17 had the best it went with the Main Event The Rock vs Stone Cold for the WWF Championship
Dead last: that cunting CeeLo Green song
2016 is one of my fav year of wwe
I was at Battleground literally one of the best wrestling shows iv'e ever went to!!!
One of the Best Years since 2008.
This is the year I first started watching(wanted to for years before but didn't)

The last time the intercontinental championship was treated as an important championship was in 2016. The Miz and Dolph Ziggler rivalry was amazing!!!
And 2018
@@JBGAMING1 Rollins and Ziggler was good but it did not have the emotion and investment from the fans that Ziggler and Miz had.
Ziggler and Miz was the best rivalry of 2016
Well i was behind Reigns, it was his in ring work that got me into him and i loved that everyone else hated him
It is fun watching people complain! There was always be something to complain about.
The year of AJ Styles

Okay. This invisible force of nature, whoever he is, is freaking strong.
The second half of 2016 was great, this should be a good list
Facts thats when i got back into wrestling
Ahhh, the last great year for WWE
Honestly from Fastlane to Battleground in this list there's not a single ppv that was bad. That's how good 2016 was and easily the best of the decade
You know Pacitti, you've always been the best Adam. Old fans will understand.
2016 was the best year since a long long time, got a lot of people back into the product like me
I got back into wrestling in 2016 and the first show I watched was Battleground. That show will always be special to me and Zayn vs. Owens was incredible.

Are you gona rank every ppv of every year??
I dug SummerSlam 2016! Was probably my favourite event of the year
WrestleMania 32 was underwhelming but it was the Women's night because we had the last ever Divas' match and the first ever Women's match and both were amazing
No Daniel Bryan in a match no high ranking! You should know that’s how these are ranked.
I can’t wait for you guys to get to 2011. That’s the year I started watching and it’s probably the one I look back on most fondly
09 for me also that be an interesting year as it was the when they started doing more gimmick PPVs its a kind of big transition year
2011 was poring except punk vs john and triple h vs undertaker
Black Heart how dare you
@@WFM sorry this is the only 2 things i really remember it was a forgotten year and i remember some parts of the royal rumble and Randy and Christian

Ranked every NWA World Heavyweight Champion in TNA
To me, 2016 was a new era in WWE, and it was a bloody good one at that
This was 4 years ago thats insane
AJ vs Cena, Sami vs Owens, the first year the women's division were actually given time, and the year where the IC Title actually mattered. 2016 was a good year.
Wrestlemania 32 should’ve been like
Roman Reigns vs Dean Ambrose
WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Brock vs Undertaker
Triple H vs Shane McMahon
Battleground had the best preshow match that I can think of. My first live ppv and the Usos had residual Roman heat. Breezango was just starting to take off and the crowd was super behind them. Amazing show
A.J. Styles saved WWE.
Wasn't the Roman ,Aj styles an Extreme rules match?
In all seriousness though what is the difference between a nodq, Extreme rules and no holds barred match?
Keep these up. Can't wait for 2000.
2016 - People talked most about Daniel Bryan's retirement (cough cough SmackDown Live GM cough cough), the return of Goldberg and the debut of AJ Styles.
Shane McMahon: Is my return a joke to you?
I mean, (me speaking BTW), that was like, the largest pop of 2016 along Cena and Austin, HBK and Foley at WrestleMania 32.
Only at 13 and I'm reminded why i hated women's wrestling in the mid 10s. Charlotte was given everything because of her last name
I actually thought Miz vs. Ziggler at No Mercy was better than the triple threat title match. Being there live might have helped; the interferences and heel work from Miz and Maryse kicked it to a new level.
Unpopular opinion: Mania 32 is criminally underrated
Do a ranking of every CWC matches from worst to best
Miz vs Ziggler was better than Styles vs Ambrose vs Cena
I am under the firm belief that 2016 was one of the greatest years in wrestling history. Every single month had something amazing/historic happening, and the stupid wasn't too bad. It even capped the end of the Roman reigns saga, and proves that if he shuts up and beats people up, he isn't that bad
I can’t wait for the 2003-2008 PPVs!
I was ringside for that backlash, it was a great unexpected show
Backlash before TLC , No mercy & Xtreme Rule is madness?!
Smackdown in 2016 was the best since 2002.
I love these videos. Please go back and do every year. Even before the birth of Christ.
I laughed out loud at eva marie on that fastlane poster
I went to Battleground and Backlash. I personally enjoyed Backlash more. The reason being is Becky Lynch and AJ Styles. Not that Battleground wasn't enjoyable. It was. I just personally liked Backlash more.
2016 was the final good year of WWE forever
I just love your PPV rankings
