10 WWE Title PPV Matches Nobody Remembers
Nobody remembers these WWE Title matches
8. CM Punk vs. Batista - Great American Bash 2008
Despite being in the company together for about four years, Batista and CM Punk never really had a major feud and only squared off in five televised singles matches.
Their first on-camera encounter took place at the 2008 Great American Bash, with the Straight-Edge Superstar’s World Heavyweight Title on the line.
Punk had shocked the world by cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase on Edge just a few weeks earlier and this would be an early (and very stern) test of his mettle.
The match itself, as far as the in-ring action was concerned, was alright. Nothing great. Nothing outright terrible.
But the match had a few things going against it that has probably caused fans to erase it from their memory banks.
For a start, it was babyface versus babyface and there was no strong storyline going into it. Then it was placed behind a Park Lot Brawl between John Cena and JBL and a WWE Title match between Triple H and Edge, basically telling you how WWE viewed its importance.
And, finally, it came to a lame end when Kane ran in for a cheap double disqualification, which was a dissatisfying conclusion to a weak match.
