Despite the mismatch in size, Mayweather used his speed, cunning, and fists to level the playing field. The match was carefully crafted to highlight both men’s strengths, and Mayweather’s punches looked sharp and credible. The most memorable moment came when Mayweather knocked out Big Show with brass knuckles to claim victory. It was an exciting clash of worlds — boxing and wrestling — and one of the most talked-about matches of that year’s WrestleMania.
4. Stephen Amell & Neville vs. Stardust & King Barrett – SummerSlam 2015
Actor Stephen Amell, best known for playing the Green Arrow, surprised many when he entered the WWE ring at SummerSlam 2015. Teaming with Neville (now known as PAC in AEW), Amell faced off against Stardust (Cody Rhodes) and King Barrett.
