The Demon (Pumpkin King mode) vs Sister Abigail Still the match I wished I had seen the most. The live thread would have been legendary I wanted to see what for the sheer WTF factor of how it was going to go

There was a Shoot Fighters Vs. Comedy Wrestlers six man advertised for one show on Wrestlemania Weekend.
If I recall correctly it was Dan Severn, Ken Shamrock and Minoru Suzuki Vs. Colt Cabana, Grado, and Joey Ryan, but I'm not sured
Given that Joey Ryan is as cancelled as humanly possible, and rightfully so, I think it's safe to say this match will never happen.

Brock Lesnar vs Steve Austin has to be one of the biggest, if not *the* biggest.

Trish Stratus v Alexa Bliss at Evolution. I remember at the time being surprised how early they announced it. They announced it around Summerslam time, 2 months before the PPV. Alexa ended up getting hurt though and it wound up as Trish and Lita v Mickie and Alicia with Alexa in their corner.
CM Punk v Kevin Nash was announced for Night of Champions 2011 but it was changed to Triple H v Punk when Nash couldn’t pass his medical in time.

Sabu no-showed the 3 Way Dance in spring 1995. He never teamed with Taz or wrestled Malenko, Benoit or Public Enemy after that.

Ronda Rousey v Becky Lynch was advertised as the Wrestlemania main event for about a week after the Royal Rumble before they shoehorned Charlotte in. Something they were very fortunate to do, given Ronda got hurt before the match, anyway, and utterly lost her nerve when the fans turned on her. And to make Rhonda moment even bigger. This is something I still don't see how fans keep missing the boat on. Becky absolutely devastated both of them in the buildup and as good as Ronda had been, Becky was obliterating her on social media and the mic and clearly losing her cool. Charlotte needed to be added to keep shit at least smooth and having Becky win both belts was a notch for her

I don't remember which WCW PPV it was, but they advertised a Madusa vs Mona match that they then... quietly cancelled and quit advertising a few weeks before the PPV.
WCW was toying with the idea of building a proper women's division around them. This is when you could see female talent like Malia Hosaka, Little Jeannie, Brandi Alexander and others on the C-shows and even occasionally Thunder. But, this was during the very late Bischoff/early Russo booking era, and Russo decided to redesign the WCW Women's Division into a T&A division based around Miss Hancock and Major Gunns - which in turn ended up scuttled because Turner Broadcasting ordered WCW to fire all its female talent.

It's even probably partially responsible for why a bunch of other champs got multiple belts, but that was also probably partially a result of the pandemic. Now, that WWE has not run the match since then is strange. I guess they ran with Becky vs Bianca for so long as a running story, with Becky dodging her, that they hadn't been time, but I do think it's strange from a kayfabe standpoint that Ronda wouldn't seek her for revenge, but only Charlotte.

Add in the expected paranoia of fans thinking Becky would win cause Charlotte got "shoehorned in" they played that story out perfectly Becky getting pregnant and Ronda not coming back/also getting pregnant def messed up whatever future plans they may have had on top of pandemic screwing things up. Maybe for the best they didn't do it and now with Ronda heel and Becky a babyface, I assume this is written in marker for Mania assuming Becky shoulder heals If they do make it for a title and do the draft I can see Ronda and Becky on RAW and since Bianca needs adversity anyway she probably takes an L to Ronda and you have your original match set up between Becky and Ronda from WM

Don't really know if that was the idea with Becky, though I'll grant them that the reveal with Asuka was actually pretty sweet. And yeah, at least this one's still quite possibly happening.

They did not know. Seth said on Broken Skull Sessions, him and Becky were trying to get pregnant but never put it out there. Makes sense why she wanted to drop the title to Shayna knowing she was going to be gone anyway

Perfect v Triple H was announced in 97, and unless they had a match in 2002 I believe they never did

That main evented MSG. I don't believe a TV/PPV match was ever advertised.
