10 WWE Title PPV Matches Nobody Remembers
Nobody remembers these WWE Title matches
A WWE world title match is supposed to be a pay-per-view selling point, a marquee attraction that convinces punters to part with their hard-earned cash in order to see the show.
They’re supposed to be, but aren’t always, and even blockbuster bouts that look good on paper can underwhelm to the point that you simply forget they ever happened.
These matches may have been over the WWE - or Undisputed, or World Heavyweight – title, but ended up having the same legacy as any old midcard fodder.
These are 10 WWE Title Pay-Per-View Matches Nobody Remembers.
10. Edge Vs. Rey Mysterio - No Way Out 2008
After failing to defeat World Heavyweight Champion Edge at the 2008 Royal Rumble, Rey Mysterio was given another crack at the gold at No Way Out in a match where Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder were banned from ringside.
We’re sure Edge and Rey, familiar foes who had great chemistry with each other, would have put on a tremendous show at the pay-per-view in Las Vegas, had the masked man not torn his right biceps while competing in a tag match on a house show in Santiago, Chile just four days prior.
Though he badly needed major surgery and a six-month layoff, Mysterio wrestled against The Rated-R Superstar as scheduled at No Way Out.
The upshot was their match was short, safe and largely uneventful, ending when Edge pinned the challenger following a mid-air Spear.
Another thing that makes this particular World Heavyweight Title match forgettable is that it was completely overshadowed by the post-match angle where Big Show made his WWE return and got into it with Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather and his entourage at ringside.
Fair play to Rey for gutting it out, but nobody remembered his five-and-a-half-minute effort five-and-a-half minutes later.
