WWE Officially Lists The 15 Best SmackDown Matches Of All Time

#6: JBL vs. Eddie Guerrero – WWE Championship Steel Cage Match: July 15, 2004

At this point, the reader must have realized that Eddie Gurrero defined SmackDown for a lot of people — At this point, the reader should realize that Eddie Gurrero defined SmackDown for a lot of people

Do you remember Eddie Gurrero jumping off the top of a Steel-Cage onto JBL's prone body?

Well, that moment happened in this classic contest. Even JBL expressed that he could not feel the entire right side of his body for about 45 seconds after it happened!

Even if Kurt Angle cost Eddie his victory by showing up in a luchador mask, the sight of Eddie Gurrero jumping off that massive steel-cage structure has been ingrained into each & every wrestling fan's memory forever.

#5: Edge & Rey Mysterio vs. Los Guerreros – No. 1 Contender Match for WWE Tag Team Championship: Oct. 24, 2002

Perhaps one of the greatest tag team matches to ever take place on SmackDown...

Like the last entry, Kurt Angle also interfered in this particular match, robbing this instant classic of a proper conclusion.

But this contest was unbelievably fast-paced. All four competitors were at the top of their game, with Chavo Gurrero displaying an acrobatic side of him we had never seen before. Rey Mysterio was impeccable at being Rey Mysterio, Edge upped his game & Eddie Gurrero just so happens to pop into this list more as we progress even further!

#4: New Day vs. Bludgeon Brothers - SmackDown Tag Team Titles No DQ Match: Aug. 21, 2018

The New Day had to reach for the extra mile in order to defeat The Bludgeon Brothers here. Even if our favorite Pancake loving stable emerged as five-time Tag Team Champions, it was no easy task for sure.

The New Day basically got obliterated for the entire first half of the match. The tables only turned when Kofi & Woods decided to use Harper & Rowan's lust for mass destruction against them.

We certainly have a tag-team flair going around here, don't we?
