Wrestling Matches Where The Wrong Guy Won

Sometimes in pro-wrestling the wrong guy wins a match and it has some detrimental effects to everyone involved. This includes the winner, the loser, the company itself and the fans who watch every week. For example, when Triple H beat Booker T at WrestleMania XIX, both Hunter and the company where shown in a bad light due to the storyline leading up to the match and the fact that Booker T, the fan favourite and underdog, didn't get his moment at the biggest show of the year. Other examples include John Cena defeating Team Nexus, Charlotte ending Asuka's undefeated streak at WrestleMania 34, and Randy Orton failing to beat Hulk Hogan to become the ultimate Legend Killer of the WWE.
This video looks at numerous matches where the wrong person "went over".

HHH vs Sting should've never happened. Nobody that watched wrestling during the WWF vs WCW wars expected Sting to win against a WWF/E legend so it should've been Sting vs Undertaker and give so many people their dream match.

[@botdfbvb]

From what I heard Taker didn't want to do the match since they were both pretty old/kinda out of shape guys, so it would've been a stinker in his mind. Triple H was still in shape at the time, so he could carry one of the older folk through a match

[@VideoHostSite]

Finally, someone is making some sense. You're correct. Sting vs Hunter never should have happened. They should have fed Sting a bunch of midcarders, then worked up to a match with Taker.

@S.Dot87 having Goldberg win at Halloween Havoc and then lose to Page in a rematch at Starrcade also could've worked. 2 months to build DDP back up and tell a redemption story.

[@LostChrisB]

For me, DDP losing the title to Nash the next year was a bigger mistake. We’ve all watched him and a very limited Savage stink up the main event for the last few months and now that Macho has the belt you can literally see a counter counting down until Hogan pins him for it. It would have made far more sense for DDP to keep the title, forming the jersey triad to help keep his belt until a baby face Hogan, returned from the injury Dallas did to him, reclaimed the title in some sort of redemption ark. The company needed to turn a new page, so to speck, and people wanted to cheer Hogan and we will get some of that, before the dark times, before the Russo.

For Charlotte, I think that it was about giving her certain accolades so that they could always reflect on them when describing her as the best women's wrestler. I don't think she's the best, but the WWE wanted me to think that. Count the accolades of that win. Retaining a world championship at WrestleMania is something that VERY few wrestlers are allowed to do. Charlotte was able to retain in spite of Asuka's seemingly unstoppable momentum.

That one will forever irritate me. Sting is one of my all-time favorite wrestlers and I will always hate WWE most specifically Vince McMahon for making him look like a complete fool. It’s very clear that Vince just brought him just so he can stick it to WCW one last time because he couldn’t learn how to put his pettiness aside. I feel like it’s best if Sting never joined WWE in the first place because nothing really good came out of it besides being inducted into the HOF.

[@dakotakulha8376]

To be honest, Asuka winning at Mania 34 wouldn't make any sense anyway since fans are known for turning on wrestlers who they want to win anyway. Also, giving that Asuka said that Charlotte Flair was her dream WrestleMania opponent, I think Asuka would have wanted to end the streak with Charlotte Flair beating her at WrestleMania

Didn't she lose the title the following Smackdown to Carmella as well? What was the point in her retaining again?

The Asuka Vs Charlotte match was always a big "wrong person won this" moment for me. Definitely the moment when I really started to sour on Charlotte Flair (and I'm still not fond of her cause of her booking) lol

[@WalsallGooner]

Vince McMahon has never been a fan of booking Japanese talent to win a big one.

[@MrBeardsley]

@@WalsallGoonerI think it’s more that Vince has always been obsessed with Charlotte. Just look at her main roster booking over the years, this whole video could’ve been dedicated to matches Charlotte objectively shouldn’t have won but did. Her entire 2020 was matches she shouldn’t have won, like the Royal Rumble (reportedly Shayna Baszler was slated to win before Charlotte “called in a favor”) and resulting Wrestlemania match with Rhea Ripley.

[@sirkjohno0129]

Asuka losing to Charlotte gets even more egregious when you realise that Asuka ended up losing a bunch to Carmella afterwards, and then having a sort-of nothing tag run with Naomi for a short while, before winning the title at TLC 2018, by which point she'd been long off the boil, and Becky Lynch had become the biggest face act on the roster. Furthermore, you could essentially have Asuka win the title at Mania 34, still keep the whole Becky/Charlotte angle running for Summerslam later that year, and almost nothing gets damaged by it - simply swap Carmella from the real match with Asuka, or make it a 4-way so that Asuka doesn't need to take the fall, therefore remaining unpinned.

Asuka will almost assuredly be losing this weekend to go to 0-6 at Wrestlemania. Beyond ridiculous. She's one of the best female wrestlers to ever work in WWE.

[@Obscusion2]

Allegedly, Goldberg was actually meant to win the Chamber match at SummerSlam 2003, but there was a European tour prior to it that Triple H wasn't feeling good for, so Goldberg was asked to take his place as the main event act, even though Goldberg wasn't originally scheduled to be a part of it. I know Goldberg has admitted that he turned down that request, so the '03 Chamber wound up really being a case of "Why you should be a team player in a wrestling company". As for a match where the wrong guy won, I'll go with Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton at Mania 37. Randy got nothing out of the win, really, while Bray's anticipated return after getting immolated was stomped out, and then he got released not too long later, to boot.

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Goldberg botched an off air live event exchange with HHH mid summer 2003 resulting in injuring his groin. So it delayed their eventual one on one. The European tour incident probably exacerbated the issue.

I'll never understand people who say the streak shouldn't have ended. The entire point of the streak was to make the person who eventually broke it a star. I agree it was wasted on Brock because he was already arguably the biggest star in the company, but not ending it at all would have been a massive waste of 20+ years of work. Ultimately the whole point of booking anyone strongly is to make them a star and by extension, make the person who beats them a star.

[@heavydonkeykong5190]

Yeah, it'd be really awesome for Undertaker to have that record, but putting people over and elevating them is part of the cycle of the business. I would have given it to Roman or Bray Wyatt. Taker himself thinks Bray should have ended it so he's my first choice.

[@polskikret1777]

​@@heavydonkeykong5190I think if Roman ended the streak, Taker's return at latest Wrestlemania to help Cody defeat Roman would be even better

[@kyleolson8977]

DDP didn't need to win Havoc 1998. He needed to look good. The probably with discussing any change to DDP's title win or Goldberg's "first" loss is that there was no cohesive long term storytelling in WCW. DDP and Goldberg had more story than most guys in WCW, but they were individual stories with no one else involved, even each other.

For me it was Benoit vs Orton at Summerslam 2004. Benoit should have 100% won and kept the title. The only reason why Orton won was because they wanted to stick it to Brock Lesnar for leaving and give Orton the new record for youngest champion. It was a terrible decision though.

How about the Benoit experiment had run its course and the Lesnar thing was just a convenience people decided to spin as undoubted truth?

@@TheRealAhoy Are you serious? I watched every week and he was the biggest draw and most popular wrestler on Raw. You clearly didn't watch. There are many reasons he got dropped down to US Title matches none were his fault. Triple H was basically running Raw and was on his power trip, he was a WCW guy and they never really wanted to put WCW guys over, and third is because they he bacame part of the Smackdown six so they could get better ratings. Do your homework before you open your mouth.

That hulk hogan vs yokozuna match makes absolutely no sense to me. It seems so forced. Brett be like "you go in and best him for the title since I'm incapable of beating him. Only you can."

And Asuka isn't allowed to win at Wrestlemania at all. Yet her team winning this year may hurt Jade Cargill. So the ramifications for that Charlotte match stretch for years.

[@zemox2534]

Jade is bloody overrated. Only reason they sign her is because of her looks and not her ring skills which she clearly lacks. Damage control are going to lose their momentum again because wwe only cares about their new shiny toys!

[@Speedyreedy1218]

Cena and Batista didn't have ring skills, just bodies. And Vince pushed them hard too. Same with Hogan and Warrior.

[@Jiren261]

Damage ctrl can still win without hurting Jade, have Naomi be the sacrificial lamb. Have Bianca & Jade fight Kairi & Dakota outside while Asuka beats Naomi by hitting her with the tag title. Asuka finally gets her Mania win but not at the expense of Jade or Bianca.

A relatively recent example that seems like it’s been forgotten at this point: Otis winning the Money In The Bank back in 2020 Otis was a comedic mid-carder and barely a singles guy before the MITB. He wasn’t taken seriously while he had it. And then the entire run was for nothing when the Miz won the case from him and Otis was back in the same spot. He should have never won the match in the first place but booking had zero idea of what to do with him afterward. A complete waste of time for everyone involved and easily the worst MITB winner of all time.

For me, a match where the wrong person won was in the RAW Women's Championship match at Wrestlemania 36 between Becky Lynch and Shayna Baszler. Baszler was built as this unstoppable force. She even literally defeated everyone in the Elimination Chamber. Even Lynch herself said she wanted to drop the belt to Shayna but the company said no. Given that Lynch was pregnant and going on maternity leave, she wasn't going to be champion either way. So why not make Shayna champion? Yes we did see that touching moment on RAW between Becky and Asuka who won Money in the Bank but still Baszler should've won.
