WWE Top 10s of the 2010s

Half way through the decade so would like to see everyone's takes on their own.
Here's my Top 10 with the most replay value for me.
CM Punk vs. John Cena (Money in the Bank 2011)
Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena (Extreme Rules 2012)
CM Punk vs. Vince McMahon (RAW 10-8-12)
Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton (RAW 6-17-13)
Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton (RAW 6-24-13)
Shield vs. Usos (Money in the Bank 2013)
Brock Lesnar vs. CM Punk (Summerslam 2013)
Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena (Summerslam 2013)
Shield vs Wyatts (RAW 3-3-14)
Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton vs. Batista (WrestleMania 30)

 

Also want to mention two randoms that I thought would have got more attention at time and are worth a look - Sheamus vs Wade Barrett (RAW 10-8-12) and Daniel Bryan vs Ryback (RAW 6-3-13).

These would be my 10. I firmly stand by Lesnar-Cena 04.29.12 as #1. I'd have to review the other 9 though in order to create #1-#10.

 

04.29.12 Lesnar-Cena

07.22.13 Bryan-Cesaro

08.18.13 Bryan-Cena

10.14.13 Rollins/Reigns-Rhodes Brothers

02.23.14 Ambrose/Rollins/Reigns-Wyatt/Harper/Rowan

02.27.14 Cesaro-Zayn

03.03.14 Ambrose/Rollins/Reigns-Wyatt/Harper/Rowan

04.07.14 Bryan-HHH

04.08.14 Ambrose/Rollins/Reigns-Wyatt/Harper/Rowan

1. Cena vs. Bryan (SummerSlam 2013)

 

2. Cena vs. Punk (Money In The Bank 2011)

 

3. Lesnar vs. Punk (SummerSlam 2013)

 

4. The Shield vs. Team Hell No & Ryback (TLC 2012)

 

5. Daniel Bryan Gauntlet Match (vs. Cesaro, Ryback, Swagger) (RAW, 7/13)

 

6. The Shield vs. The Wyatts (Elimination Chamber 2014)

 

7. Sheamus vs. Bryan (Extreme Rules 2012)

 

8. The Shield vs. Evolution (Extreme Rules 2014)

 

9. Rollins vs. Ambrose (SummerSlam 2014) ( *This gets a spot mostly because I hate Lumberjack matches and this one is the best one I've ever seen. For overcoming what is typically such a terrible gimmick takes a great story with great performers)

 

10. Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker (WrestleMania 26)

 

Honorable Mentions -

The Usos vs. Rowan and Harper (Battleground 2014)

The Shield vs. Evolution (Payback 2014)

Christian vs. Del Rio (Ladder Match, Extreme Rules 201?)

 

I will admit my "ballot" is a bit bias as the Network has allowed me to watch way more of the current product, especially the PPVS, than I did from 2010-2012, when I just couldn't justify spending $60 on a show like Capitol Punishment (Capitol Carnage?) no matter how good it may or may not have been. I'm sure I missed a ton of matches that were better than my honorable mentions, but those matches do stand out to me from this year as quite good.

 

I would also add that I do think the past 2 years have seen much better in-ring action than the 3 years that came before it. I mean, I'm not as down on Edge, Orton, Cena, etc as others...but even their biggest fans would probably have to agree that their "peak matches" in that timespan were not as good as the peak matches we saw from Bryan, Punk, and The Shield starting in '12.
