6. Alberto Del Rio Returns
Alberto Del Rio did not just make a return to the WWE at the 2015 edition of Hell in a Cell. Del Rio did not only defeat John Cena for the United States Championship. That match proved to be Cena’s farewell from the WWE for a time, even if his departure was not explained in storyline or on WWE programming. What is most disappointing about Del Rio’s return is that the WWE has mostly squandered what could have been a meaningful event. Del Rio is, as of the end of 2015, just another guy on the roster, so much so that it does not make all that much sense that he was brought back in the first place.
5. Roman Reigns (Finally) Wins the Title
There were to be no more “screw-job” finishes and no more fake victories on the night of December 14. Roman Reigns, who had been pursuing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for most of the year, finally had his night on an edition of Raw when he beat Sheamus for the title. Reigns has, during the final month of the calendar year, been booked as the next main babyface to feud with heel authority figures such as Triple H and Mr. McMahon. Fans have, in the past, rejected the idea of Reigns being atop main event angles. Will that again be the case in the months leading up to WrestleMania 32?
