10. That Smoking Skull Set

Holy sh*t.

See? This has started already. The set design was spectacular for TakeOver: Stand & Deliver; that 'smoking skull' style looked amazing when WWE dropped the curtain to reveal it, and it instantly drummed up classic images of Survivor Series 1998. That's not a bad thing.

Bonus points go to Pete Dunne for standing right on his mark in between the skull's eyeballs. He was one of the only ones who got that shot all night. Being honest though, the set piece just looked incredible regardless of where it was in the background. The way WWE flashed wrestler logos onto the eyes was also appreciated.

This sort of thing makes one yearn for individual pay-per-view stages of old to make a major comeback. WrestleMania will have one, of course, but WWE's generic backdrops for most supershows don't really cut it, at least compared to this dazzling design.
