Everytime in real life and on TV when I see a wasp battle a spider, the wasp wins and paralyzes the spider with its sting. Has there every been an incident in which the spider won the battle?

Not all spiders spin sarong webs and the very powerful tarantula lives in a hole.
It depends on which spider species faces which wasp. Given the right wasp designed for that spider, the spider has no chance. Evolution arranged it so. I have seen a wasp going into the nest of a fearsome spider and injecting her without any problem. The spider does not seem to put up much of a fight, as if knowing it is no use.
some wasps have long legs, are very agile and strong and the spider cannot reach any vital part.
Some wasps go near the nest hole of a suitable spider and tap on it. The spider comes out to see what is going on, chase them, when suddenly the wasp turns
round and gets on top of the spider where she cannot reach him.

Yes. On a number of occasions I have seen. The trick lies in the spider not allowing the wasp anywhere within striking distance but go on weaving his web around her with speed. Compared to the mass of these insets the threads of the spider's web are as strong as thick ropes. Howsoever, strong an opponent may be once he is entangled in the confusion of binding ropes he can do little about it and slowly loses his momentum . The spider has all the time in the world to devour it at leisure in parts.

the spider could win the battle if the wasp gets stuck in the web
then the spider wins

Yes of course the spider wins sometimes. It's not always the wasp winning, but it does have an advantage though

There is a guy in this house that has a "pet" blackwidow that I would put up against a wasp. You should see this mother (female) do a number on cricket and flies!

the wasp moves faster and can get around faster than a spider

Not neccesarily it depends on how old the wasp is and how large and posionous the spider

No, the funnel web spider from Australia will eat and kill most insects and small animals that come close to its burrow/web
