10 Great WWE Feuds That Never Got A One-On-One WrestleMania Match
9. Bret Hart vs. Davey Boy Smith
SummerSlam 1992 is a WWE canon event.
The glitz and glamour of London's Wembley Stadium. A British hero in the main event. One of the best bell-to-bell matches in the company's history. It simply writes itself.
Davey Boy Smith defeated his brother-in-law Bret Hart to win the Intercontinental Championship on home turf. It was a beautiful moment, despite the fact that, according to Bret, Davey was zonked out of his skull on drugs at the time.
Five years earlier, the pair had met at WrestleMania III under very different circumstances. They were on opposite sides of a six-man tag, where Hart was teaming with Jim Neidhart and Danny Davis, and Davey was part of a trio with The Dynamite Kid and Tito Santana.
Even with one of the best WWE matches ever under his belt, Smith never got a singles match at 'Mania after '92. The company clearly didn't see him as a top star and had him toil away in tag teams for the rest of his career.
As for Bret, his career went from strength to strength, and by WrestleMania IX in 1993, he was the WWE Champion.
Just don't ask him how that ended.
