#6 Seth Rollins cashing in during Lesnar vs Reigns
Maybe the one thing the WWE has been able to accomplish with Lesnar is to get two former Shield members more over than they were before. The first of Reigns’ inevitable many main events saw him play the role of a rag doll as Suplex City became a thing.
Again, this is not the best match, but the moment when Rollins came running out and took away Roman’s comeback makes this one of the better matches involving a part-timer.

Lesnar’s title reign had a mixed reception when it lasted for more than half a year, during which time he was rarely seen on television.
However, this ‘passing of the torch’ feels like it could mean something in a few years when Rollins and Reigns are the biggest attractions left.
Say whatever about self-preservation against a fan backlash, it came across as a shrewd move however anticipated, and Reigns seemed a tad more prepared when he eventually won the title the following year.
Apologies to the Roman haters who do not see it that way, but again, it is a matter of making the best of a bad situation. For the record, there are no great matches from part-timers that do not appear on the rest of this list.
Everything up to the following is a mere assortment of efforts that were not terrible (overall) because they delivered some buzz, or moment, or potential that might have been beneficial. Now, onto the good stuff.
