Only been to one RAW and Night of Champions 2015.
For me it's
John Cena vs Cesaro RAW July 2014
Seth Rollins vs John Cena NOC 2015
Seth Rollins vs Sting NOC 2015
The Wyatt Family vs Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, and Y2J NOC 2015
Those are the only matches that stood out to me honestly.

CM Punk vs. ADR - House show O2 Arena 11/11/11
Dolph Ziggler vs. John Morrison (Same venue, same date)
Kevin Nash made a surprise appearance in a 6 man tag between Cena, Ryder & Kofi vs. Miz, R-Truth
Wasn't the best match I'd ever seen live but to see Nash turn up at a house show was quite cool. CM Punk and Cena closed the show by twerking.

It's not WWE but:
And I can't remember all their names since I'm terrible with Japanese names... but earlier this year in Japan, I went to a BJW show and the main event I believe was a 'Light Tube Elimination Match'. Lighttube ropes and all that, but it was a 6 man tag and featured Jaki Numazawa, Abdullah, Yuko Miyamoto and Isami Kodaka and obviously 2 more... but names have failed me.
The card also had Ryuki Ito, Kankuro Hoshino, The Brahman Brothers, Daisuke Sekimoto, Yuji Okabayashi and more, so all in all, the best live matches I've seen would be the whole card here, and I think it was a house show... -.-' xD Best experience I had over there, and in wrestling. The fact they stick around after the show and meet fans, help sell merch and dvd's, food... it's a really awesome.
Oh, and yeah... The Brahman Brothers drenched everyone in water, like... everyone.

Short Story time:
I saw Bubba vs Christian in a tables match here in town many years back. Bubba went to put Christian through the table for the win. And the table did not break. So he slammed him into it again... and again... and again. This table would not break. After awhile I thought poor Christian was dead. Which was a shame cause there was only two people cheering for Christian in the entire building and it just so happened to be me and the guy that was sitting next to me. After about ten attempts or so, Bubba ran out of the ring. Ran to the back. And comes out minutes later with a piece of plywood. Bubba smashes that over Christian's head and the ref gave Bubba the win.
Also...
Chris Benoit vs Owen Hart at a WWE house show in 94 or 95. (*Benoit returned to wCw shortly after)
Edge vs Christian Unforgiven 01
Angel vs Austin Unforgiven 01
Ambrose vs Harper a few months ago

I've only been to one live show before back in 2010, and I remember that the best match on the card was Edge vs. Randy Orton. There were so many near falls, surprise spots, and the crowd was so into it. Those two always had such good chemistry in their matches.

Wow, I really have to think here..... In no particular order, since I'm trying to recall them.... * Hulk Hogan, John Cena, Batista VS. Triple H, Shawn Michaels, JBL - RAW Dark Match, sometime in 2005 (before the Summerslam where Hogan/Michaels wrestled). I had terrible seats, but it was just cool to see so many big names in one match! * Ric Flair/Randy Orton/Batista VS. Chris Jericho & RVD - RAW, 2004 (I think).... this was on a RAW in Hershey, PA..... again, cool to see several favorites in one ring! * Shawn Michaels VS. Triple H - Last Man Standing - Royal Rumble 2004 - good stuff here.... * Goldberg VS. Triple H - Unforgiven 2003 - pretty cool to see Goldberg win his first WWE Championship! Well, "World Heavyweight Championship"... * Shane McMahon VS. Kane (Streetfight) - Unforgiven 2003 - this was a really good match - pretty much forgotten these days! * Undertaker VS. CM Punk - WrestleMania 29 - just awesome to see a "streak" match!  * Dolph Ziggler VS. Alberto Del Rio - WWE House Show, December 2013 - Hershey, PA - their feud had long ended by this point - but these two literally stole-the-show & tore the house down! Del Rio had nuclear heat, & Dolph was on fire! Special Guest Ref - Booker T !  * Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara VS. Real Americans (Cesaro & Swagger) - WWE House Show, Hershey, December '13 - Just a fun match!  * John Cena VS. Brock Lesnar VS. Seth Rollins - Royal Rumble 2015 - crowd was incredible in this match, they hung on every move! Here's one of my favorite photos I took during that match!  Not Matches, but Cool To See Live: Steve Austin Post-Raw Beer Bash (January 2004): Included Goldberg, Lillian, Mick Foley, Chris Benoit, and I think a few others.... one of my favorite moments EVER at a wrestling show! To this day - whenever I smell Miller Light - I remember this night.  LIVE Sex (2005): I had front row for this - I was a bit horrified at the time, but kind of cool to be front-row for this "history-making" event...  Honorable Mention: Indy Match: "The Product" David Starr VS. Sean Carr - Lancaster Championship Wrestling - September, 2015 - this was just an awesome match! Got one of my favorite wrestling photos of all time!  |

I've only went to the Raws before Wrestlemania 29 and 30. The best matches I can remember was Batista vs. Randy Orton in a No DQ match, and Chris Jericho vs. Antonio Cesaro.

Some of the best matches I've seen live were:
Chris Jericho vs. Edge from the week before Summerslam 2004
Dolph Ziggler vs. Luke Harper in a ladder match.
Finn Balor vs. Samoa Joe vs. Tyler Breeze vs. Kevin Owens from the second Cleveland NXT house show.
Those are the only three that really come to mind.

I've only been to 4 houseshows as WWE never does any TV-shows over here in Germany.
In 2009 I got to see Taker vs. Punk in a casket match which was pretty great and in 2010 (still my favorite show) there was a tag team match between Edge/Rey vs. Swagger/Del Rio. The pop for Edge was incredible and I'm so glad to have seen him live at least once.
I've been very fortunate in that regard. In those 4 houseshows I got to see Taker, Punk, Jericho, Cena, Edge, Rey Mysterio, Bret Hart (he did quite well in 2010), Kane, Big Show and more. So basically a who's who of WWE Legends.

Stone Cold vs Undertaker - House show in 99
Ric Flair vs Shelton Benjamin - House show in 04
Daniel Bryan vs Bray Wyatt - Raw 2015 (Bryan's first Raw since returning from injury)
I wouldn't say these matches were great by any means...but it's just cool to say I've seen Austin, Flair and Bryan wrestle.
