10 Times WWE Blatantly Lied To Our Faces
3. The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever
The word "greatest" gets thrown around an awful lot in the land of professional wrasslin'. Whether you're talking about specific performers, iconic PPVs or even the dramatic entrances we see wrestlers make on the Grandest Stage, everyone has their own opinion when it comes to who or what is their chosen G.O.A.T.
However, when it comes to the "Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" argument, WWE decided to make the decision process a whole lot easier for us bickering fans by giving us the undisputed champ at Backlash 2020. Whether we agreed or not.
Hammering home the fact that we were about to see the "Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" in vignettes, social media posts and just about every single episode of Raw and SmackDown during the lead up to the event, even the most passionate Edge and Randy Orton supporters had a feeling WWE were setting themselves up for a mighty fall here.
Though the bout itself was by no means a terrible affair, and actually boasted some pretty compelling in-ring work and fresh tools such as new camera angles and crowd noise, this Performance Center punch-up paled in comparison to the other matches fans think of when that tagline is thrown into a conversation.
In truth, WWE absolutely knew this would be the case going in. But they had a PPV to sell, and didn't care about the validity of their audacious claim.
