#2 Firefly Funhouse, Boneyard, or any WWE match that was pre-recorded
Trending
With no fans around, WWE took advantage of not having to do everything live. With that, we've seen a large influx of pre-recorded or "cinematic" matches. WWE had dipped their toes into this pool before when they had matches at the Wyatt and Hardy compounds.
But this time around, WWE went all in on their concepts. The Boneyard and Firefly Funhouse Matches both caught the attention of fans and, to this point, are two of the greatest bits to come out of the pandemic era.

Genuinely, they were different, almost mini-movies filmed around WWE mythos and featuring four of the best talents on the roster. The Fiend, John Cena, AJ Styles and The Undertaker knocked it off the park.
The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever between Randy Orton and Edge was actually very good. Honestly, it was hard to live up to that kind of name, but the two really pulled off some magic there. That was thanks to, though, being able to do re-shoots of any spots that they'd messed up.
#1 WWE Men's Money in the Bank winner
So for sure the Money in the Bank match goes with the above number. But it's a bit more than just being a pre-recorded segment. WWE combined the men's and women's Money in the Bank ladder matches into one single bout. The competitors met at Titan Towers, and were told to fight all the way to the top to secure the briefcases.
Asuka, Dana Brooke, Lacey Evans, Nia Jax, and Shayna Baszler battled for one case while AJ Styles, Aleister Black, Daniel Bryan, King Corbin, Otis, and Rey Mysterio fought for the other. We got to see some pretty unique moments throughout, including Bryan and Styles fighting into Mr. McMahon's office.
The reason this gets its own number is because had we had another live MITB pay-per-view in front of fans, we would've had a different winner for the men's match. Otis wasn't able to climb up the ladder because he was too heavy. Each rung he stepped on would instantly break.
Instead, he caught the briefcase as it slipped through the hands of AJ Styles and King Corbin's hands. Otis went on to have one of the worst runs with the briefcase we've ever seen. After a little over six months, he lost it to The Miz when his partner Tucker turned on him at Hell in a Cell.
The fact of the matter is that Otis should not have won that briefcase, especially how he did it. Odds are, it would've been won by somebody else in the match, and he may not have even been involved. Had we had fans during the event, it may have saved Heavy Machinery from breaking up as well.
