2. JBL Vs. Eddie Guerrero Vs. Booker T Vs. The Undertaker (Armageddon 2004)
- Cagematch Rating: 7.75
- Dave Meltzer’s Rating: 2.75 Stars
JBL’s 280-day WWE Championship reign was filled with chaotic pay-per-view matches that often relied on blood and smoke & mirrors. The former member of the APA won the championship with a controversial victory over Eddie Guerrero in a Texas Bullrope Match at The Great American Bash 2004.
After successful title defenses against Latino Heat (inside a steel cage on SmackDown), The Undertaker (SummerSlam and No Mercy) and Booker T (Survivor Series), JBL put the WWE Title on the line against all three men at the same time at Armageddon.

Saying the odds were not in the WWE Champion’s favor would be the understatement of the century! The result was an incredibly fun and unpredictable four-way bout that stands as one of Bradshaw’s best title defenses.
Every wrestler involved had their chance to shine, and there were many moments where it felt like JBL was about to lose the WWE Championship. However, JBL retained the strap thanks to Heidenreich’s interference, who took out The Undertaker while Layfield pinned Booker T following a Clothesline From Hell.
