10 WWE Title Moments You DEFINITELY Can’t Remember

Time for some more UK pay-per-view randomness.

If pushed to recall anything from it, most fans would name Vinnie Jones getting booked by Gerald Brisco during a four-way main event as one of Capital Carnage's biggest moments. Of course, Jacqueline might have something to say about that. She had her own erm...infamous spot on the card earlier in the night. Moving swiftly on.

One of the show's main attractions was a red hot X-Pac challenging The Rock for the WWF Title. It's crazy to look back on this December 1998 showing and realise that the D-Generation X favourite would be one of the most uncool workers on the roster just a few years later. There was no "X-Pac heat" in London back in '98, that's for sure.

This hidden gem of a match is well worth going out of your way to see on the WWE Network/Peacock archives ahead of the jump to Netflix. If that has happened by the time you read this, and Netflix thumbed their nose at Capital Carnage, then you're out of luck. You'll have to take this article's word for it; Pac was a credible challenger on the night, and no-one would've been gutted had he won the title.
