Big Matches
By Scott Keith on 22 June 2023
Hey Scott,
With Okada vs. Danielson being announced as the main event for Forbidden Door (and rightly so), I'm curious about how often the main event of a PPV has been a straight-up, one-on-one dream match even though there are also big World title matches on the card? The only one that comes to my mind right away is the Shawn Michaels vs. Hulk Hogan match at SummerSlam 2005. Is it more common than I'm remembering?

Well, I mean, the biggest PPV in WWE history featured a singles match between Rock and Cena. So there's that. But it's not super common, no.
