5 Weirdest WWE RAW matches you may not remember 

#3 John Cena vs. Michael Cole – WWE RAW June 4, 2012

Almost no one thought a RAW main event match between John Cena and Michael Cole was actually a good idea except WWE. The announcer and commentator turned heel for the first time in his WWE career in 2010, with a never-seen-before arrogance and cockiness in his mannerism. He interfered in a TLC match costing Jerry Lawler, his former partner, a win against The Miz. He turned against several other wrestlers, including Jim Ross and CM Punk.

WWE tried to give his heel turn a new and (hopefully) hilarious twist by putting him in a RAW match against John Cena in June 2012. But fans thought it perhaps went a bit too far and ended up being predictably more appalling than funny. Cole tried to escape in the end, but Cena dragged him back to the ring before stripping him, slapping him, and trapping him in a headlock.

Cole was forced to apologize for his behavior, especially to Lawler and Ross. The revenge was completed by dumping bottles of JR’s BBQ sauce on Cole and hitting with an Attitude Adjustment. It is safe to say fans do not remember the match fondly, as it was not only unnecessarily cringe but also nuked the fridge for the possibility of Cole being accepted as a significant on-screen character.
