10 Best WWE Matches Under 5 Minutes

Beat-The-Clock challenges are a good place to start for good, short matches. They're intense, dramatic, and - as long as they feature a pair of at least somewhat evenly-matched competitors - usually have a whiff of unpredictability too (particularly if there's already a pace-setting time on the board).

In 2008, Rey Mysterio was set the challenge of beating Edge inside six minutes and two seconds, for the chance to face The Rated-R Superstar for his World Heavyweight Championship at the Royal Rumble.

The pair have shared much better matches (including at the Rumble itself), but this one was notable for its interferences: both Batista and The Undertaker had a hand in helping the masked underdog seal his victory - a full 90 seconds before his target time.
