#8 2015 (The Night That Roman Was Cheered)
Like 2013 and 2014, the end of 2015 did not show WWE at its glittering best. The ratings suffered some real damage following Survivor Series, where Sheamus cashed in on Roman Reigns to become WWE Champion. He defended his title against 'The Big Dog' in a hard-hitting TLC Match, but the main talking point came after the final bell, as Reigns completely snapped and took out the League of Nations, before delivering a huge beatdown on Triple H.
After chair shots, Superman Punches, a powerbomb through a table and a thunderous spear on 'The Game,' Roman Reigns was cheered like never before. This set up his popular title victory one night later, but unfortunately, he could not sustain his popularity. The other highlight of TLC 2015 was the crazy, spot-filled Ladder Match between The New Day, The Usos and The Lucha Dragons. This was a fun opener and may be considered the best match of The New Day's historic 483-day Tag Team Championship reign.
Elsewhere, Dean Ambrose won the Intercontinental Championship from Kevin Owens and The Wyatt Family trounced ECW Originals, Tommy Dreamer, Rhyno and the Dudley Boyz, in a Tables Elimination Match. It was a decent show, if somewhat unmemorable at times. There have been better efforts by WWE, though.
