10 Huge WWE Upset Wins That Led To Nothing
10 upset wins in WWE that led to absolutely nothing
5. Maven def. The Undertaker - February 7, 2002 episode of SmackDown
In the 2002 Royal Rumble, Tough Enough winner Maven shocked the world by eliminating The Undertaker from the marquee match. He then shocked the world again by getting used as a human punching bag by an aggravated Deadman.
The pair would continue to feud after the Rumble, leading to a Hardcore Championship bout on SmackDown. With a little help from The Rock and his trainer Al Snow, Maven did the unthinkable and beat The Phenom to win the broken belt, putting him in an elite group of wrestlers to have beaten Undertaker for a championship.
Did Maven’s career then go the way of Bret Hart, Chris Jericho, or Edge? No. Maven remained thoroughly embedded in the undercard, with the occasional brief trip to the lower midcard. He managed to last until 2005 before getting released, without ever adding another championship to his resume.
Not a terrible run by any means, but not the rub you’d expect him to get after repeatedly besting such a legendary figure.
