Tons of WWE Matches happen every year but only some remain in our memory forever. The Sports Grail presents to you the best WWE matches of 2010s.
The 2010s had some of the best phases of WWE. While stalwarts like Edge and Shawn Michaels said their goodbyes, the Universe also saw them pass on the torch to new talent like Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. Women’s wrestling witnessed a revolution and veterans like Cena, Orton and Punk continued to keep the ratings super high.
Following Are The Best WWE Matches of 2010s Ranked
1. Shawn Michaels Vs The Undertaker (WrestleMania XXVI)
Even with new talent emerging everyday, collisions between legends rarely tire fans. This was the second successive WrestleMania encounter between HBK and the Deadman, who was victorious in their clash last year. With The Undertaker’s Wrestlemania streak unbeaten at 17-0 and Michaels’ career on the line, this time the stakes were higher.
The match went back-and-forth with Michaels going out on a high. It ended with The Undertaker delivering jumping Tombstone Piledriver on Michaels, giving him the perfect sendoff.
2. John Cena VS CM Punk (Money In The Bank 2011)
John Cena’s feud with CM Punk in 2011 was easily one of the sassiest feuds of the decade. Punk’s classic pipe-bomb promo had preceded this match setting the energy on an all-time high. This was the match which had produced the iconic image of Punk blowing a kiss at a perturbed Vince McMahon.
Punk would clinch his first WWE Championship with a GTS to Cena, making the Summer of Punk official.
3. Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte (Wrestlemania XXXV)
How can the first ever Wrestlemania main event including three of the best female wrestlers not make it to this list? Becky Lynch, Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey, and SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair headlined WrestleMania in a Winner Takes All triple threat match.
Along with being one of the best matches of the decade, it’s also one of the best women’s matches of all time. The Man Becky Lynch would go on to lift both the titles in a brutal and historic match, handing Rousey her first pinfall loss.

4. The Shield vs. The Wyatt Family (Elimination Chamber 2014)
The short time The Shield had in the latter part of the decade its members parted ways was a masterstroke when it comes to factions in WWE, both in terms of action and storytelling. Undeniably, the anticipation preceding this match had sent fans into a frenzy.
Roman Reigns’s hot comeback sequence, Seth Rollins’s Spanish announce table bump and The Wyatt Family’s final destruction on Reigns are just a few of the awesome moments that transpired during this matchup.
5. John Cena Vs Randy Orton (TLC 2013)
Cena and Orton are two superstars who have the best chemistry, both in-ring and outside. They were the decade’s driving forces who made Raw worth watching. Cena was the World Heavyweight Champion and Orton was the reigning WWE Champion with the two champions competing in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match.
This was arguably Randy’s best performance as a heel and who could be a better co-performer than The Champ. The match would end with Orton making history as the first-ever WWE World Heavyweight Champion, retiring the World Heavyweight Title in the process.
