10 Best WWE Last Man Standing Matches

5. John Cena Vs. Batista - Extreme Rules 2010

It's the one that most fans would refer to as the "duct tape match" because if you saw it then you probably remember the finish of it. What fans should remember is that they had a very entertaining brawl for 25 minutes. The 2010 version of Batista was great because he was such a natural heel that knew how to get fans hate him and even Cena's haters liked him during this battle. There were so many huge spots like when Cena gave him the Attitude Adjustment through the announce table and then Batista came so close to winning several times when he hit him with a Batista Bomb in the ring. The crowd reactions for the near finishes showed how much the crowd was into it. As for the duct tape finish, Cena was able to slow Batista down with the STF by the ropes. Then he grabbed some duct tape, put Batista's legs against the steel post and taped him there so that he couldn't move. Batista couldn't stand up, so Cena definitely was the Last Man Standing in this one. It was booked in a way where both guys were so evenly matched that they had to come up with some kind of definitive ending to it. Was it a bit cheesy? Maybe, but it was also one of the most creative match finishes ever too.
