3. Wade Barrett Against John Cena - Bragging Rights 2010
In late 2010, Wade Barrett entered a short WWE Championship programme with Randy Orton. The feud was designed to advance Barretts rivalry with John Cena, so claiming the title was extremely unlikely. Also, Barrett at the time had only just arrived on the scene as leader of Nexus and a world title reign was never on the cards. What made matters even more predictable was the fact that Cena had been appointed as special guest referee for their title match, making the likelihood of a chaotic match finish all the more likely. As it happened, the title match at Bragging Rights did finish controversially as Cena attacked Barrett to cause a disqualification.
