5. The Undertaker Wins A Match He Wasn't In

At Super ShowDown 2020, WWE rolled out their newest random gimmick match - the Tuwaiq Mountain Trophy gauntlet match. The trophy looked like it was AJ Styles' for the taking as his final opponent, Rey Mysterio, had been laid out by The O.C. As Styles demanded Mysterio be counted out, the bell tolled.

The Undertaker made his way down to the ring for the first time since July the previous year. He hit Styles with a Chokeslam and pinned The Phenomenal One to win the match and the trophy, despite not being an official entrant.

This sort of thing has been done before to great effect. Edge won an Elimination Chamber match he wasn't in and Becky Lynch won the entire Royal Rumble despite originally not being part of it. The issue with The Undertaker was there was no reason for him to do this. He just showed up and decided he wanted to win a trophy (which was never seen again, by the way).

Although this moment did set up Styles and Taker's WrestleMania programme, it wasn't very well received. Fans weren't pleased that Styles had been fed to a part-timer and, to reiterate, Undertaker won a match HE WASN'T EVEN IN.
