6. The Miz vs Cesaro vs Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens – Extreme Rules
Simply put, this was the greatest fatal 4-way match of all time. It’s close but this match at Extreme Rules was slightly better than the John Cena/Edge/Randy Orton/Shawn Michaels match at Backlash 2007 as well as the Bret Hart/Steve Austin/Undertaker/Vader bout from In Your House in 1997. However, the stakes in this match were different from the two aforementioned. This time it was for the Intercontinental title but from the intensity shown here, you would think it was for the top prize in the company.
From start to finish this match was brilliantly chaotic. At times it was difficult to keep up with everything going on yet tantalizing to try. Previous story lines were played out perfectly with Cesaro looking to capture the belt he came so close to winning a month earlier at Payback and of course the on-going Zayn-Owens hatred was on full display. This war had no off-switch, with the action never slowing down for any of the 18 minutes and the finishing move ending sequence was just brilliant.
It’s hard to pick an MVP from this match because each guy had such a huge role in pulling off this masterpiece. And like many of the matches so far on this list, the crowd was a major factor, as the Prudential Center crowd was on fire. It seemed like they didn’t care who won because they just knew they were a part of something special and when The Miz finally came away with the victory, they got to groan over the smug heel reigning supreme, a favorite past time for wrestling fans. If there ever was fatal 4-way that screamed perfection, it was this one.
