10 WWE Ruthless Aggression WrestleMania Matches That Should Have Happened

10. Eddie Guerrero Vs. Chris Benoit (WrestleMania XX)

At WrestleMania XX, WWE took a leap of faith with their fanbase, booking not one, but two workhorse talents at the apex of both Raw and SmackDown. Thankfully, this change was welcomed by the audience.

Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero closing the show with their hands raised in World Championship glory is a now harrowing image considering future events, but it was a golden moment. Both triumphs were iconic, with Benoit submitting the loathsome Triple H to win a thrilling Triple Threat also involving Shawn Michaels, and Guerrero lying cheating and stealing his way to victory against Kurt Angle.

By choosing to rely on more dynamic, athletic wrestlers in the top spots, rather than reverting back to old faces, WWE were aiming to make a huge statement. If this was the intention, then going all-in with this fresh philosophy, by having the two real-life best friends face each other in the main event for the WWE Championship, would have made the biggest statement possible.

Two mavericks of the rings with mirroring career paths, both untouchable in their craft. Benoit vs. Guerrero might feel like the perfect ‘Mania midcard title showstopper. In 2004, it was the right place, and right time for these two to progress to the main event and clash for the top prize on the grand stage.
