10 WWE matches you never thought you would see in 2018

#3 Undertaker vs Rusev

Rusev in the biggest match of career.

The Undertaker is one of the greatest superstars in wrestling history, and when he supposedly returned at Wrestlemania 33 against Roman Reigns, fans were emotionally affected but were somewhat satisfied with the way he went out, as the credibility he gave to Reigns was a good way to go out.

But WWE had no intentions of letting the Undertaker retire as he returned the following WrestleMania to take on John Cena in a terrible squash match. Moreover, no one would expect that The Undertakers next opponent after Cena would be a midcard act who was being held back by the glass ceiling - Rusev.

Rusev had the opportunity to be one of the few men that faced the Undertaker in the last few matches of his career, so his loss to the legend should be looked at with a silver lining.

#4 Charlotte vs Ronda Rousey

Wrestlemania came early?

The fact that Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair met on a pay-per-view not named Wrestlemania this year is truly shocking, as many pegged this matchup to be one of the candidates for next year's Wrestlemania main event.

And when this match was all set and done at the 2018 Survivor Series pay-per-view, it was easy to see why these superstars are the biggest names in WWE's women's division.

This match was brutal, intense and most of all entertaining. Moreover, it is a more of a shocker that this match saw Charlotte switch up her character to a become a heel and destroy Rousey.

While it is certain that the war between Rousey and Flair is not over by a long shot, rumours suggest that Becky Lynch and Asuka are Rousey and Flair's respective Wrestlemania opponents, so when these two stars will cross paths down the road again is a mystery.

#5 Daniel Bryan vs Samoa Joe

ROH legends collide in a much-anticipated slugfest.

Daniel Bryan and Samoa Joe are two of the most recognizable Ring of Honor wrestlers in WWE today, as both these men had wrestled countless classics for the promotion back in the day, and while they have taken each other to the limit many times, seeing them do it in a WWE ring seemed impossible.

But thanks to Bryan's return we got to see this classic tale brought to the WWE. While their matches this year were not apart of a bigger narrative, it was still fun to see these two age-old rivals tear it up on Smackdown Live.
