10 Best WWE Pay-Per-Views Of The Decade
6. SummerSlam 2013
Even after a 'Ring Of Fire' opener that foreshadowed the burning heap of sh*t that was Bray Wyatt's entire career, SummerSlam 2013 was an explosively fun show propped up by two huge matches featuring four bonafide stars.
Shortly before AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan marginally bettered his battle with 'The Beast', CM Punk's spirited fight with Brock Lesnar represented the former UFC Champion's finest all-round effort since returning to WWE a year earlier. Enthused by a programme for the first time since his lengthy WWE Title run was punctuated earlier that year, Punk was a ball of a fury against his bigger foe and lost nothing in what turned out to be his last headline-worthy match.
His spiritual successor fared better in a main event that made for one of the company's best matches of the decade. Hand-picked challenger Daniel Bryan defeated WWE Champion John Cena before surrendering the strap to opportunistic Money In The Bank winner (and secret Authority hitman) Randy Orton. The sad scene drew the sympathy intended on night one, but begat an unstoppable snowball of adoration for the 'Yes Man' that rolled all the way to WrestleMania.
But more on that later.
