10 Brilliant Wrestling Matches With Seriously Disappointing Endings
10. Asuka Vs. Sasha Banks - Extreme Rules 2020
The Horror Show at Extreme Rules was a bizarre pay per view for WWE to say the least, with ill thought out gimmicks framed around disfiguring one’s opponent, a battle in a swamp, and a few too many lame finishes.
One match which sadly fell into the latter category was Sasha Banks’ shot at Asuka’s Raw women’s championship. One of the only clashes not to feature an extreme gimmick and/or an actual swamp, it was the bout of the night, with two of the business’ top women displaying their immense athleticism and exceptional chemistry.
It was all the more disappointing, then, that this match was so overbooked. Asuka spat green mist, leading to a ref bump. Banks’ best pal Bayley then took advantage of the confusion to wallop Asuka with the belt, before stealing the referee’s shirt to count the three herself.
If there was one match that didn’t need the shenanigans, it was this one. The whole event was rife with goofiness and bad endings - had this match gone off clean, it would have lifted the horror show no end.
