WWE has presented some of the most iconic stars and memorable fighting in the history of wrestling. From legendary confrontations to emotional stories, fans have received unforgettable moments that are often seen again and celebrated.
However, there are some who did not meet expectations. Whether due to a bad programming, lack of chemistry or simply a bad execution, some fighting is better to leave them in the past. These clashes may have involved large names and high bets, but did not comply with the ring or were eclipsed for a single moment.
Over time, fans have largely forgotten how disappointing were some of these fighting. Here there are some WWE bad fighting that many fans could have forgotten, even if the names involved are not forgotten at all.
#3. John Cena vs. The Rock – WrestleMania 29
The rematch between John Cena and The Rock in Wrestlemania 29 had all the potential to be a box office success. Nicknamed as “Twice in a Lifetime”, it was supposed to overcome its incredible confrontation of the previous year. But despite the great construction and the value of Marquesina, the combat did not fulfill in every way.
He felt more like a slow and excessively choreographer of final movements instead of an attractive combat in the ring. The energy of his meeting in Wrestlemania 28 was lost, replaced by a predictable set of movements that lacked innovation. To make things worse, The Rock suffered legitimate injuries during combat, which only added to the slow rhythm.
The dinner victory was destined to be a great redemption history, but the combat was not up to the “icon against icon”. Fans rarely return to this fight in their incredible rivalry, and there is a good reason for it.
#2. The Undertaker vs. Shane McMahon – WrestleMania 32
The image of Shane McMahon throwing himself from the top of the Hell in A Cell will live forever in WWE's summaries. However, out of that spectacular moment, the rest of the fight between Shane and The Undertaker in Wrestlemania 32 was painfully forgettable.
With a duration of more than 30 minutes, the battle crawled with a slow pace, a minimum narrative and an uncomfortable dynamic. Shane, who had not fought in years, was presented as a legitimate threat to The Deadman, which did not make much sense from a logical point of view.
The stipulation was that McMahon had the opportunity to take control of RAW, which felt more as an excuse to justify the fight. Apart from the big jump, there was little emotion or drama. Despite the show, this was one of Taker's weakest performances in Wrestlemania, and fans have deleted it largely from their memory.
#1. Seth Rollins vs. The Fiend – WWE Hell in a Cell 2019
In theory, Seth Rollins against The Fiend in Hell in A Cell 2019 seemed to be an instant classic. But instead, it became one of the worst main events in recent memory. WWE tried to protect The Fiend's supernatural aura while maintaining the title with Rollins, and the result was simply a disaster.
Rollins unleashed an absurd amount of final movements and blows with weapons, just for the fight to end in a arbitrator arrest after using a deck. The fans present were furious, booing strongly and asking for reimbursements.
The programming completely destroyed The Fiend's aura and damaged Rollins's credibility as the main babyface. It was a disaster that WWE never completely recovered the character's impulse. This fight is still remembered, but for all the wrong reasons.
