#9 Randy Orton vs Christian: World Heavyweight Championship (2011)

The RKO that ended Christian's main event run.
The RKO that ended Christian's main event run

The 'One More Match' storyline with Christian is arguably one of the finest told stories of the modern era in WWE, and it culminated in a tremendous and violent No Hold Barred match at SummerSlam 2011. This match had Christian embarking on his final main event push in WWE, and a Randy Orton who was at the peak of his powers.

The slowly built story of how the heel Christian was getting under Orton's skin was perfectly told, thus giving motivation for the ungodly punishment that Orton doled out on the former tag champ. DDT on trash cans, kendo stick beatings, RKO's on announce tables all featured in this match, as the champion Christian saw himself slowly slipping into defeat. A final RKO onto the steel steps put away the champion, and saw the culmination of a tremendous story in the second best title match on the 2011 card.
