Returning to the all-round bizarro world that was 2020 now, and to the Performance Center Show of Shows that played host to countless intriguing matches that have since been generally ignored/forgotten by both fans and WWE themselves.

Now sure, the company have begrudgingly acknowledged the likes of Drew McIntyre's long-awaited WWE Championship win, the Firefly Funhouse and Boneyard matches, and even most recently shone a spotlight on Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley's first battle on the 'Mania stage.

But when it comes to one-time dream encounters like former NXT Champion Aleister Black colliding with the dominant Bobby Lashley on the Grandest Stage of Them All, the average wrestling fan or even WWE employee likely couldn't tell you a single thing about said hard-hitting battle.

Given absolutely zero build in the lead-up to the early-pandemic 'Mania, a Lashley fresh off of the god-awful Rusev love triangle saga with Lana ate a deliciously timed Black Mass counter mid-spear for the Aleister win in the end.

And while the impromptu battle wasn't dreadful by any means, it still joined the likes of Liv Morgan vs. Natalya, Cesaro vs. Drew Gulak, a SmackDown Women's Championship five-way, and Elias vs. Baron Corbin as one of the many matches few even remember being on this strangest card of them all.
