10 WWE Title PPV Matches Nobody Remembers
Nobody remembers these WWE Title matches
5. Brock Lesnar & Paul Heyman vs. Edge - Rebellion 2002
The main event of 2002’s Rebellion was supposed to see Brock Lesnar defend his Undisputed Title against The Undertaker.
However, the Phenom was taken off the show – which emanated from Manchester, England – after he was written off television following an attack by The Big Show.
Addressing ‘Taker’s absence in a promo at the beginning of the event, SmackDown General Manager Stephanie McMahon claimed he had to stay in the US as his then-wife Sara was due to give birth.
While Steph managed to get Raw’s Booker T for one night only as a ‘replacement’, it was Edge who received a shot at The Next Big Thing – albeit in a handicap match where Lesnar was to team with his manager Paul Heyman.
It was actually really good! It was also the only thing resembling a televised singles match between Brock and Edge, so remains something of a curiosity.
As this was a UK-exclusive pay-per-view with a weak undercard and very little hype (and possibly because Edge hadn’t yet hit his stride as a singles performer), nobody ever brings it up.
