10 Best WWE Matches of The Year 2002

#7 Rob Van Dam vs. Eddie Guerrero - RAW, May 27

The match they were capable of

Rob Van Dam and WWE Intercontinental Champion Eddie Guerrero had been feuding for about two months heading into this match. Eddie had only returned to WWE after a one-year absence that April and had immediately set his eyes on RVD's IC title, which he defeated him for at Backlash.

Despite Eddie and RVD being two of the best in the world at the time, their matches at Backlash, Judgement Day and the UK's Insurrextion had been good, but not as great as they could have been. This last match of their feud made up for all that, however, as it is one of the greatest matches in the history of WWE RAW.

The match had a lot of high spots off the ladder, beautiful fast-paced action, vintage moves from each man's arsenals both with and without ladders and a thrilling conclusion. There was also one point during the match where Eddie was standing at the top of the ladder and some moronic fan jumped in the ring and pushed him off, leading Eddie to punch him out.

RVD would take the title down in the end to win his second WWE Intercontinental Championship.
