11 Best WWE PPV Matches Of 2013

8. Jack Swagger vs. Chris Jericho vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Mark Henry vs. Randy Orton vs. Kane – Elimination Chamber

The 2013 Elimination Chamber match was a somewhat baffling affair. The lineup included five exceptional main event talents… and Jack Swagger. The winner would get a shot at World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio at WrestleMania 29.

Everyone involved seemed like a great candidate for such a match… except Jack Swagger. Who won? Jack Swagger obviously.

This is a pretty underrated Elimination Chamber match all things considered as the likes of Daniel Bryan, Chris Jericho and Randy Orton mixed it up while Mark Henry and Kane powered through.

The best Chamber matches often have multiple plausible winners and that does apply here. However, part of that is that you should pick a good one.


7. The Rock vs. CM Punk – Royal Rumble

Some fans were distraught that CM Punk’s 434 day WWE Championship reign was ended by The Rock. Truthfully, if you were watching at the time, the writing was on the wall going in.

WWE was clearly positioning John Cena to once again challenge the WWE Champion at WrestleMania and a rematch with The Rock was the most WWE answer. Thankfully, we at least got a great match out of The Rock and CM Punk at the Royal Rumble.

The two had better chemistry than Rock and Cena and they had a better match than either of Rock’s WrestleMania main events with Cena.


6. Brothers Rhodes vs. The Usos vs. The Shield – Hell in a Cell

The rivalry between The Shield and the Brothers Rhodes was likely the best thing Cody Rhodes did while in WWE. The two teams battled at Battleground in a very emotional match, won by Cody and Dustin getting them their jobs back.

One month later at Hell in a Cell, Cody and Dustin decided they weren’t going to stop at their jobs. They wanted the WWE Tag Team Championship too. Add The Usos to the mix and you have the recipe for a really great match. Sure enough, that’s what we got.

One of the rare times that the WWE Tag Team Championship actually felt important in the last decade, and one of the best main roster tag team matches as well.
