10 Most Creative Match Finishes In WWE History

Remember when Batista and John Cena both insanely eliminated one another as the final two of the 2005 Royal Rumble?

That would've definitely ranked as one of the boldest pieces of booking of the 'Ruthless Aggression' era... had it not been a comical mistake that only got more absurd with the arrival of a soon-to-be quad-less McMahon.

Over a decade before that car-crash of a conclusion, though, WWE did actually execute this inventive finish on purpose and it's still arguably the most creative end to a Royal Rumble epic to date.

With Bret Hart clearly being the fan-favourite on the night of the 1994 event and WWE's main event project at the time Lex Luger not quite connecting in the way they had hoped, the call was made to have both men earn themselves a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania X.

What makes the sight of the two lads flying over the top rope and hitting the ground at exactly the same time so incredible all these years later is the fact that the entire thing could've looked rather dumb.

Imagine if either bloke hit ringside just a second earlier than the other, fans would've likely had none of it.

They somehow managed to perfectly pull off such a complicated bump, though, brilliantly setting up the subsequent arm-raising popularity contest in the aftermath, one evidently won by a 'Hitman' who would lift the title in the coming months.
