10 Wild WWE Matches You Forgot Almost Happened

10. Umaga vs. Jackass (SummerSlam 2007)

WWE laid the groundwork for this by having some of the Jackass crew take a beating from Umaga on Raw in October 2006. Unfortunately, Steve-O and Chris Pontius laughed throughout the segment, which didn't go down well backstage. As legend has it, everyone agreed to ditch the idea until USA Network suggested using celebs to bolster ratings the next year.

Jackass were back in the mix just like that.

Plans were put in place for cast members to show up at the Great American Bash and build towards a SummerSlam handicap bout vs. Umaga. Shane McMahon was heavily involved in this, because he was a fan of the MTV show, but it was never meant to be. Umaga didn't get to wreck shop on Steve-O, Johnny Knoxville, Wee Man and pals again.

Instead, the then-Intercontinental Champ worked a three-way vs. Carlito and Mr. Kennedy on the tentpole pay-per-view. He still got paid, but there's no denying the Jackass segment would've been higher profile than a routine Triple Threat. WWE couldn't make it happen.
