10 Best WWE Triple Threat Matches

[@TheRealAhoy]

Big Show was in the form of his life around 2003. His heel turn the previous year led to the best run of his career, with entertaining feuds with Eddie and Cena to come. Might be the most underrated run in wwe history, he was very definitely at his best.

[@Kalel2.0]

The WM 20 Triple Threat is my favorite WM main event of all time. While the buildup overshadowed Benoit at some points the match was fantastic that had great workrate and a compelling story and that moment with Eddie in the end was awesome. Unfortunately it hasnt aged well due to Benoits immoral act

[@EVGriffinJr]

Yes, it will always be marred because of the actions of Chris Benoit. But taking my personal feelings about him out of it, it’s still one of the best examples on how to do a triple threat match. This is one of the examples that wrestler should study on how to do this style of match, regardless of how they feel about one of the participants.

[@PJErvin]

The fact that the HHH-HBK rivalry seemed to overshadow Benoit’s quest for the title was very effective at getting the fans even more behind him.

[@shady3legend]

The rematch at backlash was good too

[@RobNotBob95]

The IC Title triple threat from Mania 39 is a masterpiece!

[@soulessshadow5356]

As much as I wanted Sheamus to finish his quest to finally hold the IC title, it just makes so much sense too that they went with Gunther retaining and ultimately becoming the longest reigning champion.

[@RobNotBob95]

@@soulessshadow5356 Agreed. It immediately establishes Gunther as a main event player and it will keep him in the history books for a very very long time.

[@optimus2008]

@RobNotBob95 Plus, there's no way I would accept an accidental, unplanned title switch lead to the longest IC title reign in WWE history.

[@DJDoubleCee]

I remember hoping that for WrestleMania 20, it would be Benoit vs. Triple H one on one. But the match with still great with Shawn Michaels involved.

[@venomousnate7263]

Undertaker vs Angle vs Rock is one of my favorite early wrestling fan memories. I was just starting to watch around when the build was starting and the match is just excellent.

[@Surv1vor1993]

Same here. It’s one of my earliest wrestling matches I saw

[@KK-qs2kq]

That Vengeance 2002 Angel v Rock v Taker is supremely slept on. I would argue it was the greatest triple threat of all time. It's definitely worth a watch.

[@izzyfresh20]

This is definitely my favorite triple threat match ever

[@DragonHeart613]

He should've added Raven vs Kane vs Big Show from Wrestlemania XVII to the Honorary Mentions list.

[@SirZapdos]

“Where it all begins again” makes sense because both Wrestlemania 1 and Wrestlemania XX took place at MSG. Same with Wrestlemania X for that matter.

[@HaywoodJ15]

[@judeelaman1902]

Wouldn't it be "Where it all begins again... again" since X was at MSG?

[@frankhoward6645]

Taker vs Kurt Angle vs the Rock at Vengeance was also a awesome triple threat match

[@davon4470]

It's a damn shame we never got to see The Rock vs Stone cold vs Triple H. I'm surprised that it wasn't revisited either.

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

WM 20 Triple Threat match was legendary

[@KingsNerdCave]

Lesnar v Cena v Rollins is my favorite triple threat and one of those casual fun matches I can go back to watch any time. Triple Threats can be so much fun with dynamics changing, especially when the "one man takes a break outside" troupe isn't relied on.

[@nhatlongvu8896]

⭐️ Some bangers didn't get mentioned in the video: Cena vs Angle vs Michaels at Taboo Tuesday '05, Edge vs Triple H vs Hardy at Armageddon '08, Orton vs Cena vs Triple H at WM24, Priest vs Sheamus vs McIntyre on Raw'21, Styles vs Owens vs Jericho on SDL'17, Ziggler vs Styles vs Corbin on SDL'16, Cena vs Wyatt vs Styles on SDL'17 ✅️ WWE has certainly produced loads of incredible Triple Threats over the years 💎

[@tribbleamidei]

Ziggler vs Styles vs Corbin was UNDERRATED. I'll always remember watching that episode. It had me thinking they were almost ready to push Corbin. About 7 months later, he not only won MITB but lost the case cashing in on JINDER MAHAL. BUT. I'll always remember that triple threat making me a fan of him

[@nhatlongvu8896]

Don't forget Edge vs Cena vs Triple H (Backlash 06)

[@shachardahan1081]

I thought i was the only one who thought the WrestleMania 39 ic title match is the greatest triple threat of all time So happy im not alone

[@b1llj0hn]

Very happy to see the Rock/Taker/Angle match here. That was my first live PPV I attended and have fond memories of it. Nice to know that even if I take off the rose tinted glasses that the match still is one of the greats.

[@koshawnard]

Here's Another Honorable Mention That Fans Don't Remember Because It Seems to Be Forgotten: Brock Lesnar Vs Dean Ambrose Vs Roman Reigns At Fastlane 2016. It's An Underrated Triple Threat Match That Doesn't Get Talked about Enough Because It Was So Forgotten On A C Level Show Like Fastlane.

[@jodawa2504]

In terms of the Fastlane PPV/PLE over the years, though Fastlane had good matches, it's very much slept on & treated like a bathroom break at a NFL football game halftime show due to Fastlane being the last PPV/PLE before Wrestlemania. I think when people think of Fastlane, they think of the WWE Championship Number 1 Contender's match between Daniel Bryan & Roman Reigns at Fastlane 2015; WWE Championship Number 1 Contender's Triple Threat Match between Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose & Brock Lesnar; maybe even the WWE Championship Triple Threat Match between Mustafa Ali, Kevin Owens & defending WWE Champion, "The New" Daniel Bryan at Fastlane 2019(Shout out to Fastlane 2019 for featuring The Shield(Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns)'s Last Stand, which was their final match as a group against "Constable" Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley(the early days of Lashley being referred to as the "All Mighty") & Drew McIntyre).

[@PapaCoco1128]

So glad you guys talked about Vengeance 02 & 03, nobody ever talks about how good those matches are.

[@RevJoe88]

Great list! An underrated triple threat that I enjoyed was the Intercontinental Triple Threat Match between Shelton Benjamin, Chris Jericho, and Christian on the Raw after WrestleMania 21 in 2005. Had they just gotten a few more minutes, that easily could have become a PPV worthy classic. They had great chemistry! Also, I loved the WrestleMania Number One Contender Triple Threat between Triple H, Big Show, and RVD from Raw in February, 2006. Exciting match that led to the first HHH vs. Cena feud!

[@yujiro424]

My favorite triple threat is the two fall match between Angle, Benoit, and Jericho for the IC and EU belts.

[@standardofexcellence]

I think that was wm 15, angle lost both titles to probably prepare for a main title run

[@a.g1796]

CM Punk vs The Miz vs Alberto Del Rio triple threat TLC match for the WWE Championship in 2011 deserved an honorable mention. Criminally underrated match

HHH vs. HBK vs. Benoit at Backlash was also so great in IMO, it I like it more than the WrestleMania one. Both were fantastic.

[@kthegeneral]

Edge vs Cena vs Triple H Backlash 06 is another great triple threat

[@rdubb6592]

Jeff Hardy vs Edge vs HHH has to be up here

[@handleunavailable]

Taker/Rock/Angle is one of the most underrated matches in WWE history. I fucking love that match.

[@Molson-xg9hs]

WM 20 might be favorite experience watching it in a crowded bar and yelling tap while HHH was in that cross face…but time had tarnished that memory. I want to fight recency bias, but it is hard to go against Gunther/Drew/Sheamus…one of the most brutal and impressive matches…and no weapons, no interference…just three men’s men trying to impose their wills on each other

[@Jmasterx500]

The ladder triple threat between Sami Zayn, Jeff Hardy and AJ Syles in the thunder dome for IC title is worthy of this list.

[@EVGriffinJr]

Regardless of what I think of Chris Benoit, that triple threat match from wrestlemania 20 is still one of the greatest matches ever. And one of the best examples of how to do a triple threat match. Good list by the way. And I was hoping that the rock versus the undertaker versus Kurt angle was going to be on the list. That one rarely gets brought up and it’s one of the best examples as well on how to do this match!

[@chrisxavier3147]

Summerslam 2000 was life

[@boundsy88]

Summerslam 2000 might be my favourite ppv of all time. So many great matches on that card. The potentially disastrous main event being saved by Kurt Angle after he was concussed. Honorable mention to Stephanie who walked Kurt through the finish while he was out of it.

[@spencershain5956]

Those honorable mentions really set the tone for this one

[@AndrewCARNBORN]

The Rock 1:05 Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle, hands down the best of Triple Threat Sports Entertainment, WWE had to offer in 2003 ❤. Mad surprised this has become a bit of a forgotten classic

[@diabeticman2194]

I might be wrong with this, but I remember either 2020 or 2021 being a weirdly great year for triple threat matches (of normal and tag variety)- obviously it's hard to go back to that era of wrestling, but Reigns/Edge/Bryan from WrestleMania 37 Night 2 and MSK/GYV/Legado Del Fantasma (NXT Stand and Deliver) were fantastic to watch. I know we're not counting tag team triple threats, an honourable mention to RKBro/Alpha Academy/Street Profits from WrestleMania 38 Night 2, that was a fun little sprint

[@bayleyaustin2202]

Hot take: Angle vs Taker vs Rock is better than the Mania 20 triple threat! I may be biased because that match is one of, if not my favorite matches ever! It’s so good! Three super workers at their absolute best! There wasn’t a lot of guys just laying around half the time (most the time when a guy got taken out he had a reason for not getting into the match right away and usually it was a competitor using strategy). There was a bit of everything in it too! Great technical wrestling, story driven wrestling, comedy with Angle being pissy about them not paying him any attention at the start and how he kept getting beat up on whenever he tried getting in at the start, there was sports entertainment/gimmicky spots with them all doing each other’s finishers which was absolute mayhem and so good, the drama with the constant last second pin breaks! It has it all!! And all three were top of their game!!

[@bobbydelacroix1515]

Triple H’s Summerslam story about Kurt getting knocked out is hilarious 😂 “he’s coming back out… he doesn’t know where he is…”
