New Day (C) vs. The Usos vs. Lucha Dragons: TLC, Dec. 13, 2015
Triple Threat Tag Team Ladder Match for the WWE Tag Team Championship
Winners: New Day
WWE had a rough 2015. While stars have been dropping like flies due to injuries and bad creative booking, New Day has managed to rise to the top. Along with The Usos and the Lucha Dragons, the three teams delivered an explosive opening to an otherwise lukewarm TLC pay-per-view. While the match had some brutal spots and gave New Day the much-needed credibility as Tag Team champions, Kalisto delivering a Salida del Sol off the top of the ladder is a spot for the ages.
Also, Xavier Woods is damn entertaining on commentary.
