WWE Payback 2016: 10 Awesome Moments
10. The End Sequence Of The WWE United States Title Match
Kalisto and Ryback were put in a tough spot at WrestleMania 32. As the opening match on the 'Kickoff' show, they had the indignity of performing in front of a sparse crowd. Congestion problems meant few fans were in the building to see their bout, but that was somewhat rectified at Payback.
The crowd looked almost full by the time the pair once again clashed on the pre-show. Setting aside the fact this was a second consecutive slot on the non-pay-per-view portion of the program, both guys worked really well together. For that, they deserve credit, because they have managed to overcome the potentially awkward size difference.
In particular, the ending sequence to their match thrilled. A spectacular Gorilla Press from Ryback was executed from the top rope, but Kalisto hit Solida Del Sol quickly after 'The Big Guy' missed a splash. It was a sudden flurry of action, but it worked well.
Kalisto picked up an opportunistic win, and he can hopefully move on to fresh challenges, or drop the WWE United States Title.
