14. Super Salida del Sol
Certain wrestling moves can make even the most jaded and most cynical fan cringe and even yell. One such move occurred during the 2015 Tables, Ladders and Chairs show when Kalisto delivered a Salida del Sol to Jey Uso. Kalisto and Uso fell off of the top of one ladder and then crashed clear through another ladder that had been positioned on the ground. While replays showed that the impact was not as horrific as it looked in real time, it was nevertheless a move that probably should, in future instances, be avoided unless it was to occur at a major event such as a WrestleMania.
13. Izzy Cries!
The imaginary “It’s Still Real To Me, Dammit!” award of 2015 goes to this moment. Bayley and Sasha Banks were in the middle of their NXT Women’s Championship rematch, a 30-minute Iron Man encounter, when Banks went ultra-heel and made Bayley superfan Izzy, a mainstay at NXT shows, cry. While we may never know if Izzy and her family were in on the gimmick, it was later learned that the young Bayley supporter and “The Boss” made up after the match. Banks was, for a night, the best heel in all of the WWE, a throwback to the days when kayfabe was alive and well.
