#4 Baron Corbin vs. Kalisto: Chairs Match (WWE TLC 2016)

While not the best gimmick, the Chairs Match is still mildly entertaining at times. It was introduced for the first-ever TLC event as the stipulation for The Undertaker's World Heavyweight title match with Batista. Since then, the quality of this match has fluctuated. There have been some bad Chairs matches, as well as some fun ones.

Among them was John Cena vs. Wade Barrett at TLC 2010 and Rey Mysterio vs. Randy Orton from TLC 2018, but the best one may be Kalisto's effort alongside Baron Corbin at TLC 2016. A surprising choice, but one that is a true hidden gem.

Much like SmackDown Live in 2016, Corbin and Kalisto quietly went about their business and wowed the fans at this brand-exclusive pay-per-view. This was a very innovative match, filled with some fun spots. The pick of the bunch may be senton onto a two-sided row of chairs.

This was entertaining and brutal in equal measures, with Baron Corbin looking like a huge star in victory here. He defeated Kalisto after swatting him with a chair in mid-air and hitting the End of Days onto a pile of them. It will be hard for any future Chairs Match to top this.
