Worst in the World: The Women's Tag Team Turmoil-WrestleMania 37 (Night 1)

 Special thanks to Otter Empire for suggesting this match. If you'd like to see a match covered on the Worst in the World, leave a comment down below. A few months back, I covered Randy Orton vs Bray Wyatt from night two of WrestleMania 37. In that post, I mentioned that, despite the bar being set pretty low by one match the previous night, Orton vs Wyatt managed to slide under it with plenty of room to spare and come out as the worst match across the two nights. The match that set that bar? The Women's Tag Team Turmoil match, with the winner getting a shot at the Women's Tag Team Championships on Night 2. And while it might have escaped the title of "Worst Match of WrestleMania 37", being second-worst when the worst was Orton vs Wyatt is the farthest thing from an accomplishment. Let's get into this.

Worst in the World: Randy Orton vs "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt-WrestleMania 37 (Night 2)

I don't normally jump the gun on choosing matches for the Worst in the World so soon after they took place, but...man, what the fuck was this? WrestleMania 37 was actually a pretty good show despite having a very lackluster build. The main events of both nights were great, Cesaro had a killer match with Seth Rollins, and Bad Bunny heavily exceeded expectations and had arguably the best celebrity match in the history of wrestling. That being said, there were definitely some missteps over the course of the weekend. Big E vs Apollo Crews was going well, but the finish was pretty underwhelming, and the women's tag team gauntlet was easily the worst match of Night 1. Going into Night 2, it was going to be hard to be worse than that gauntlet match...and then Night 2 started. Randy Orton vs "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt opened Night 2 of WrestleMania 37, which proved to be a massive downgrade from the opener of Night 1. I don't mean Bobby Lashley vs Drew McIntyre, I'm talki...
