#2 Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Randy Savage, Saturday Night

Savage and Austin

Years before Stone Cold Steve Austin would go on to become the biggest Superstar in the Pro-Wrestling business, he was a mid-carder at best in WCW. Randy "Macho Man" Savage was the biggest Superstar in WWE in the 1980s, after Hulk Hogan of course. The stars aligned in 1995, when both Savage and Austin were a part of WCW. On May 27th, 1995, Savage and Austin met on an edition of Saturday Night, in a contest that would be replicated countless times by fans in WWE's video games in the near future.

The Elbow Drop helped Savage pick up a win over Austin. These two men never got a chance to have a big showdown on a major PPV in WWE as Savage didn't come back to WWE after his WCW stint was over.

#1 Hulk Hogan vs Brock Lesnar, SmackDown

Hogan vs Lesnar

After WrestleMania 18 was done and dusted with, Vince McMahon realized that Hulk Hogan was still incredibly popular among the fans. He was soon made the WWE Champion when he defeated Triple H at Backlash 2002. Hogan didn't keep the belt for long though as he lost the same to Undertaker at Judgment Day in a matter of weeks.

Brock Lesnar, who was being heavily pushed at the time, met Hogan on an episode of SmackDown. A Bear Hug from Lesnar led to Hogan passing out and losing the bout as a result. This was one of the biggest wins in Brock's short career up until that point. He went on to defeat The Rock at SummerSlam in a few weeks.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
