5 WWE Superstars who surprisingly won their last match

#2 Chris Benoit

Chris Jericho

His final opponent: Elijah Burke

Date: 19 June 2007 (ECW)

Retirement date: 24 June 2007 (technically, as Benoit passed on this day)

Till this day, WWE fans argue whether or not Chris Benoit should be inducted in the Hall Of Fame. However, I’m not going to talk about this matter in today’s article.

It is true that Chris Benoit’s controversy is hazardous for the WWE and it is why they don’t even take his name on their platform. However, we can’t deny the fact that he was indeed one of the best wrestlers in the history of pro wrestling.

Benoit is a 1-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion and even though he is not between us today, fans still consider him as a true legend. His accomplishments in the WWE were satisfying as compared to other wrestlers but unfortunately, the end days of this life completely removed him from the WWE.

Benoit fought his final match in 2007, on an ECW taping where he defeated Elijah Burke by submission. Suddenly, after 5 days, news came that Benoit killed his wife and kids and then suicided. The issue was so sensitive that Vince McMahon had to return despite being dead in kayfabe. Since then, the WWE didn’t mention Benoit’s name and a Hall Of Fame induction is still in doubt.
