#4 One Night Stand 2007
One Night Stand 2007 was yet another great show in a continuing consecutive streak of solid WWE pay-per-views for the first half of that year. Unlike the WWE Extreme Rules events of recent years, these were all matches with no rules at all, for the most part.
CM Punk teamed up with ECW Originals Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman to defeat The New Breed in a 6 Man Tag Team Tables match. It was a pretty decent affair.
The Hardy Boyz retained the WWE World Tag Team Championships over Charlie Hass and Shelton Benjamin in a very exciting Ladder match. This one, a very underrated Ladder match, featured a number of high-risk spots.
Mark Henry pinned Kane in a Lumberjack match. It was okay considering Mark wasn't exactly wrestling the best match every night.... or any night.
Bobby Lashley defeated Vince McMahon to reclaim the ECW Championship in a good Street Fight. Also overcoming Shane McMahon and Umaga, Lashley came across as a legit superstar.
Candice Michelle defeated Melina in a non-title Pudding match. A far cry from the Women's Revolution of course, but the live audience still seemed to enjoy it for what it was.
Edge retained the World Heavyweight Championship over Batista in a very thrilling Steel Cage match. Much like the Tag Team Ladder match earlier, this one is also highly overlooked by many.
John Cena pinned The Great Khali in a Falls Count Anywhere main event to retain the WWE Championship. This proved how good John Cena can be, the Champ actually managed to squeeze an entertaining match from The abysmal Khali.
While the Ladder and Cage matches were gems, I think the best match of the night came from the opening match. Rob Van Dam beat Randy Orton in a stunning Stretcher match. This was a surprising match, not just for being such a good match to open a show, but the outcome was surprising to as Orton was being primed to be an upcoming challenger for the WWE Championship, and this was also RVD's last match as a full-time superstar before leaving the company.
