10 WWE Title PPV Matches Nobody Remembers
Nobody remembers these WWE Title matches
4. John Cena vs. Chris Jericho vs. Christian - Vengeance 2005
By rights, the WWE Title match at Vengeance 2005 should have been John Cena defending against Christian.
Captain Charisma had been goading the champ for months and was really building momentum on Raw as someone who looked like they could be a top heel.
Evidently, someone (or a whole bunch of people) in creative didn’t think Christian could carry his weight and so they inserted Chris Jericho into the equation as, we guess, a way to add a little intrigue and have two skilled pros on hand to carry Cena along.
The match itself is pretty entertaining. Christian and Jericho do most of the heavy lifting and make sure it moves at a good pace, though the result is never really in doubt.
The result was Cena pinning Christian to retain, obviously.
One of the reasons this match doesn’t get a lot of love and isn’t brought up is because it took place on a show also featuring the WrestleMania 21 rematch between Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle and a World Heavyweight Title Hell in a Cell gorefest between Triple H and Batista.
Next to those two, this was a very distant third.
