02. Randy Orton Vs. Christian (No Holds Barred Match) – SummerSlam 2011
The number 02 spot belongs to one of the best SummerSlam matches in WWE history. Christian finally won his first World title at Extreme Rules and lost the title in the same following week on Smackdown to Orton, thus starting one of the best rivalries of the PG Era. Christian won his title back at Money in the bank by spitting on Orton’s face and got him disqualified. WWE COO Triple H announced a rematch between both men at SummerSlam in a No Holds Barred match.
During the match, Christian attempted an RKO through a broadcast table on Orton but Orton countered the move into an RKO through the broadcast table on Christian. Christian executed a KillSwitch on Orton for a near-fall. Christian attempted a Sunset Flip out of the corner but Orton countered the move into an RKO on the steel steps to win the title. This was one of the most brutal & hard hitting match of PG Era.
I always liked his match vs Cactus Jack at Bashlack ’04. That match truly made his career (and eventual ‘Legend Killer’ character as well).
