10 Best Wrestling PPV Matches (That Actually Were On Free TV)
4. John Cena Vs. Shawn Michaels (Raw, 2007)
John Cena and Shawn Michaels had already met once - at WrestleMania, no less - going into their non-title encounter on a bumper London edition of Monday Night Raw in April 2007.
This one, though, was the much better match, which was mainly a function of the fact they were allowed to go nearly an hour. There were no interferences, no shennanigans, and, since the WWE title wasn't on the line, Cena - in the midst of his year-long run with the belt - suffered a rare defeat against the Heartbreak Kid, given the opportunity to avenge his loss on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
Cena's wrestling abiity was under much fan scrutiny around this time, but this match was evidence, if it were needed, that the man can go.
