Best WWE Match Types

The Royal Rumble is so exciting and the perfect opportunity for most, if not all, the wrestlers to join together in one event. What makes it so great is that you have 30 or so wrestlers, and it's unpredictable who will be the winner. Surprises come from left and right, and I can't name one Royal Rumble that ever disappointed me or was predictable. Even non-wrestling fans like my folks, who never really cared about wrestling, still come together to watch who will be thrown out of the ring.

What's better than a match that starts as a one-on-one, then evolves into a triple threat, fatal 4-way, 5-way, and potentially a 6-pack match, all under elimination rules? The possibilities are endless. I've seen favorites get eliminated quickly before they even secure a single elimination (Cena, Kurt Angle), unexpected alliances form, surprising twists, and heroic performances (like HBK in the first Elimination Chamber match). This match is by far the most entertaining gimmick in WWE, second only to a straight-up singles match between two top performers (e.g., HBK and The Undertaker).

Hell in a Cell is awesome because it embodies the hardcore, bloody, intense, back-and-forth action I love in professional wrestling. Nothing is more exciting than watching someone fall from the 20-foot-tall structure! It also featured what is probably the most famous WWE match ever: The Undertaker vs. Mankind. The only matches I find nearly as exciting as Hell in a Cell are Extreme Rules, Hardcore, Street Fight, and No Holds Barred matches. You can tell I love hardcore wrestling, can't you?

It gives any mid-card wrestler a major push, like The Miz and Sheamus. The match is also entertaining, with people jumping off ladders and getting hit with them. Almost every Money in the Bank match is fun to watch!

This match has led to giving some superstars a much-needed extra push. We probably would never have seen CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, or Dolph Ziggler win the World Heavyweight Championship if it wasn't for Money in the Bank.

So many epic moments happen here. Plus, it can be used to change stories in an instant. It often brings mid-carders to greatness.

I think it's most entertaining when people's lives are in danger. Obviously, I don't want them to die, but it's very entertaining for me when bones or lives are at risk.

TLC matches have the most bumps and more moments that make you go oh! They are the most extreme matches in WWE. It's simply awesome. There have been so many classic matches in this style.

Best match ever! Everywhere there are tables, ladders, and chairs. It's the most dangerous match in WWE history and can destroy careers.

These are the best, but they do seem life-threatening at times.

The most challenging match of all! Three different matches and best of three! Not used much in the PG era! Bring these back!

It's awesome because you get to see the sexiest girls in the world wrestle in their bras and panties!

Yes! This is the best type of match in WWE! Please bring it back. Then I'll like WWE again!

With the right wrestlers, Iron Man matches almost always end up being match-of-the-year candidates. It's also one of the best match types to showcase how submissions can play a major part in the psychology of the finish.

This is the best match ever because it showcases how tough the superstars are and their skills. One match to see is John Cena vs. Randy Orton. It was a great match.

Roman Reigns and Jey Uso's Hell in a Cell I Quit match had one of the best stories I've seen in a long time! Definitely a great match type!

I love it because it's probably the most extreme match ever in WWE.

A steel cage, but electrified. Also for weapons. Enough said.

Sadly, this match is no longer used, but hopefully, The Undertaker competes in this match type one last time before retiring.

I love it when I see superstars bleed, but now we're watching the stupid PG era with no bleeding.

Get rid of the PG rating. Kids from 10 years ago want to see what exciting wrestling looked like without a stupid PG rating.

This is the best match ever because they can go anywhere and pin anywhere.

The world is your stage, now go live your play.

Anyone who has seen Cactus Jack vs. Terry Funk in the Barbed Wire Rope, Exploding Barbed Wire Boards & Exploding Ring Time Bomb Death Match (or whatever order you want to put the words in) knows just how ultra-violent and crazy those Japanese match bookers are. This match was insane. The barbed wire is common, something you might see in ECW, but after a time limit, the ring explodes. Enough said.

This match type pushes a wrestler to his limits with three different types of matches without a break. Sadly, there aren't many of them in WWE history.
