Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, from WWE WrestleMania XL Night Two

This match was very stupid and I kind of loved it for that. The ending sequence is the stuff of legend, overbearing but unquestionably crowd-pleasing that rendered the names on the marquee relatively pointless for a hot minute or two in service of delivering on moments that people will remember forever. The match leading up to that molten, dumb finishing sequence was fine but not memorable; you could probably replicate much of it by running a CPU vs. CPU match in the latest wrestling game. The story shouldn’t have taken this long to finish, but at least it ended well.
