2. Bret Hart Vs. Shawn Michaels – Survivor Series 1992
Aforementioned, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels’ first meeting was at Survivor Series in 1992. Their encounter five years later was more memorable because of the Montreal Screwjob. The WWE Championship was at stake, and Michaels was bidding to become a double champion as he entered their showdown as the reigning Intercontinental Champion. This was the sixth main event at Survivor Series, and it was the first time that a traditional Survivor Series elimination match didn’t headline it.
Both Hart and Michaels showcased their qualities, and this match is often overlooked in their WWE Championship trilogy. Arguably, it’s the best match in their trilogy, with Hart making Michaels look like a star. The Showstopper had to settle as the Intercontinental Champion, as it wasn’t his time to add the WWE Championship to his collection, with the Excellence of Execution retaining the WWE Championship with the Sharpshooter.
