10 Dumbest WWE Title Changes
9. John Cena Beats Rey Mysterio (Raw, 2011)
Maybe we as wrestling fans are just a little ungrateful for complaining about the fact that we got two WWE Title changes in one night - on an episode of Monday Night Raw, no less - but conventional booking logic can't just be thrown out of the window in the aid of an unpredictable couple of hours, surely?
Having Rey Mysterio win the world title after CM Punk's walk-out gave us reason to genuinely care about WWE's Biggest Little Man for the first time in years. It should have resulted - if not in a long and fruitful title reign (Punk was, after all, never likely to surrender his throne lightly) - then at least a decent feud with the Straight Edge Superstar when he came back.
Instead, the company decided that the money was in Cena snatching the belt from him not half an hour after he had began celebrating one of the biggest moments of his career. It was cruel on Rey and worse still it did few favours for Mr Hustle, Loyalty, Respect, who was supposed to be a baby-face embodying the very same ideals as the man he robbed.
