WWE’s 25 Greatest Pay-Per-Views of the Ruthless Aggression Era

15. Survivor Series 2007

2007 might be one of the most underrated events in the franchise’s history. The stakes couldn’t be higher for Randy Orton vs. Shawn Michaels, just as they were in the main event for Batista and Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell where Edge returned from injury. The undercard also delivered thanks to the elimination tag and a fun ECW triple threat.

14. Taboo Tuesday 2004

The main event Steel Cage match between Ric Flair and Randy Orton felt like an old school throwback that proved to be an instant classic. Chris Jericho vs. Shelton Benjamin and Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels were also quite entertaining.

13. No Way Out 2003

One look at the card tells us that it wasn’t quite perfect, squarely looking at Scott Steiner vs. Triple H. But besides that one flaw, this provided a fun mix of Attitude Era stars with those of the new era. Matches like Jeff Hardy vs. Chris Jericho practically stole the show while main events like Hogan vs. Rock II met expectations.

12. One Night Stand 2008

Undertaker stepped into Edge’s yard of Tables, Ladders and Chairs for an extremely fun contest. The whole night was literred with fun contests, like Umaga vs. Jeff Hardy in a Falls Count Anywhere match where the latter delivered a death defying Swanton Bomb from off a truck.

And for an era where women’s wrestling wasn’t quite respected yet, Beth Phoenix and Melina had a decent amount of time to deliver a pretty great I Quit Match.

11. Royal Rumble 2008

Royal Rumble 2008 will always be remembered for John Cena’s shocking return from injury, receiving one of the loudest reactions to ever be heard inside of Madison Square Garden.

Besides the Rumble match being as consistently great as it usually is, matches like MVP vs. Ric Flair and JBL vs. Jericho exceeded expectations. Meanwhile, Randy Orton vs. Jeff Hardy was flat out fantastic.
