Greetings and salutations, boys and girls, and welcome to the first Rajah main page installment of the most prestigious countdown list of the year, the Rajah Forums Countdown of WWE’s Best Matches of 2014!

Now, many of you have never visited the forums that are connected to this wonderful haven of news and features before, and so you might be unfamiliar with this countdown. The idea is that at the end of the year, dozens of Rajah forum members submitted lists of the WWE matches that they thought were the best. After an exhaustive process of averaging and general mathiness, a top 25 list was composed and over the course of the next few weeks, it will be revealed one match at a time.

If you agree or disagree with the matches on this list, or just wish to give your thoughts on them in a rad place full of skateboarding dinosaurs and charming secret agents, then hop on down to the Rajah Forums, make yourself an account and join the party.

Now let’s get on with the next installment of the countdown…

When a match starts with Cesaro and Sheamus, you know you’re getting your money’s worth. There are four other wonderful talents in this match, but when they begin clobbering the hell out of each other, they wind up having what would have become an absolute classic within five minutes. This was only the first few minutes of the chamber. The classic is interrupted, but only so Daniel Bryan can come in and turn on the turbo engines and begin the dynamic shifting of the match, as well as adding crowd-rocking moves such as bridging a Northern Lights suplex on Cesaro while locking up Sheamus in a leg hold. Overall, this match winds up being one of the best showings for everyone involved.
