Randy Orton punished Cactus Jack in 2004, whilst Shane McMahon was sent flying in 2000.

#1 John Cena Vs. John 'Bradshaw' Layfield (Judgement Day 2005)

The match would go down as one of the most violent bouts ever.

Just one year after his bloodied war against Eddie Guerrero in 2004, at Judgement Day 2005, JBL went up against a fresh-faced John Cena.

After winning the WWE Title from Eddie in 2004, JBL would have a lengthy reign until losing to Cena at WrestleMania 21, and was hungry to get the gold back.

Meeting in an I-Quit match, Cena was opened up by a brutal chair shot to the head, and the Leader of the Cenation spilled buckets of blood in the ring, on JBL and wherever the two battled.

By the end of the bout, both men were exhausted, but it was JBL who gave up, after being threatened with an exhaust pipe.

Undeterred, Cena used the pipe anyway, showing just how ruthless he could be, as the show garnered a TV-MA rating due to it's violence.
