#1 Kurt Angle Vs. Shawn Michaels - WrestleMania 21

One of the greatest ever

This encounter between two of the most versatile performers in the industry will go down in history as one of the most technical masterpieces in WrestleMania history.

Both the competitors squared off at WrestleMania 21 for the first time after being segregated due to brand extension in 2002.

The inception of the feud began at the Royal Rumble 2005 when the Heart-Break Kid eliminated Kurt Angle and that led to the Olympic Gold Medalist snapping and attacking Michaels back.

What followed it was possibly one of the most intense matches of all time. Considering how versatile they are, HBK sold every assault brilliantly and both the competitors were successful in bringing the fans to the edge of their seats.

While both the superstars have engaged in the ring a lot of time since then, this first-time ever encounter was special and did everything to justify why we adore and love wrestling so much.

#2 AJ Styles Vs. Finn Balor - WWE TLC 2017

This was 'too sweet'

Two of the biggest independent stars who have never squared off in any capacity despite sharing a tremendous history together, Finn Balor and AJ Styles clicked instantly and put on a clinic at WWE TLC 2017.

After Bray Wyatt was sidelined with an unfortunate illness, his terrible feud with Finn Balor was put in serious jeopardy which acted as a blessing in disguise for fans to witness something special.

Considering that the match was set to introduce Sister Abigail for the first time in a WWE ring, replacing the promising encounter with an even more epic one coerced the fans to be seriously invested in the match.

The Phenomenal One arrived at WWE TLC and delivered a classic with the Demon King. Since both the superstars represented the Bullet Club at some point in their careers, the fans were already hyped up for this encounter without the establishment of any significant storyline.

If you look back at the match, the bout certainly deserves more credit than it actually gets. Despite the last-minute change, both the competitors remain thoroughly professional and brought some of the most visually crafted moves in recent memory to the mix.

With the Demon King finally emerging victorious, their post-match 'too-sweet' moment hijacked the entire spotlight from the main-event and left the fans wanting for more.

#3 Brock Lesnar Vs. Samoa Joe - Great Balls of Fire 2017

What a feud

While the match may not be a technical thriller, Brock Lesnar Vs. Samoa Joe for the Universal Champion was everything you expect from a blockbuster dream match.

This was the first time that these two monsters collided; with the fans going absolutely berserk over Samoa Joe's ascension and dominance over the Beast Incarnate.

What made this feud more compelling was the belief of the fans that Samoa Joe might actually conquer the man who defeated the Undertaker at WrestleMania 30.

Considering how vicious Joe's heel work is, the company introduced us to a more vulnerable Beast with the Destroyer continuously thrashing Lesnar every time they confronted one another.

There's no denying that a lot of the credit for this match goes to the former Universal Champion for letting Samoa Joe get the best out of him and beat him senselessly throughout the build of this epic encounter.

Since the match did not end up being a masterpiece, this encounter will forever remain special because it solidified Samoa Joe as one of the most dangerous heels in the entire business.

#4 Charlotte Vs. Asuka - WrestleMania 34

This match delivered on every department

After cementing her position in NXT as one of the most compelling athletes in the business, Asuka's ascension to the top of the women's division brought her to Charlotte's door.

Since she won the First-Ever Women's Royal Rumble, many believed that the Empress of Tomorrow will finally have her big moment at the Grandest Stage of Them All after enjoying an unprecedented undefeated streak.

However, nothing of such sort happened. The match delivered everything that it promised and ended up stealing the entire show, with Charlotte shocking the entire world by defeating the former NXT Women's Champion.

Considering the fact that nobody expected something of this stature to happen, the fans were disappointed with the outcome but thoroughly enjoyed the entire match that catapulted the women's division on top at the Show of Shows.

Despite failing to make a name for herself on the main roster, Asuka's first-time ever dream encounter with Charlotte justified how versatile and incredible she actually is.

#5 Sami Zayn Vs. Shinsuke Nakamura - NXT Takeover: Dallas 2016

Brilliant from start to finish

There's no match in the entire list that was as brilliant and as offensive as this one. Sami Zayn's clash with Shinsuke Nakamura will go down in history as one of the greatest matches of all time.

The heart and soul of NXT having his last performance in a brand he helped build against an upcoming sensation who was all ready to take this business to another level, these two tore the house down.

A more significant recommendation should also go to the fans in attendance that took the entire bout by storm by constantly voicing their love and adulation for both these technical wrestlers.

Shinsuke Nakamura's offensive strong style was introduced to a bigger audience for the first-time and both the competitors just clicked that night and put on a wrestling clinic for the world to remember, forever.

Considering how epic it was, fans who are willing to pursue a career in professional wrestling must watch the encounter to know everything what wrestling means to the hardcore fans.
