10 Wrestling Matches One Second Away From Perfection
9. Bayley Vs Sasha Banks (WWE Hell In A Cell 2020)
Intricate, layered and vicious, the Hell In A Cell 2020 SmackDown Women's Championship battle between Bayley and Sasha Banks was one of the best matches the pair ever had.
Consider the ground that covers, then remember that this one took place in the ThunderDome deep in the bowels of the global pandemic, and that this was the emotional climax of a feud that had lasted the better part of a year and that all of this had taken place in WWE of all places. Achievement on top of achievement on top of achievement, save for one spot that was cursed from the off all the way through to the 'Role Model' jacking it in at the end.
Banks was selling on the floor as Bayley pulled out some duct tape. The amount of time it took the Champion to find the end of the roll was relatable, but bordered on excruciating to watch. As was the outcome of her battle with it - an attempt to attach two kendo sticks together failed miserably, and whatever plan she had was quickly abandoned.
The match snapped back to its brilliant best just seconds later, but weaker pros might have struggled to squeeze past this plunder blunder.
