Admit it: you weren't expecting to see a Luke Harper match here. Hell, some probably weren't even anticipating a Dolph Ziggler match either. This cracker from TLC 2014 just goes to show that even the most awkward combos on paper can come up with the goods come crunch time.

Both men bled and made good use of the ladder throughout. Harper's deceptive agility was also notable, and watching back to this makes it more confusing that WWE haven't given him more to do since the brand split last summer. This remains Luke's only Intercontinental Title run to date, which doesn't seem fair considering how well he did under the circumstances.

Those who love ladder matches will find a lot to enjoy in a match nobody talks about in glowing terms. In fact, nobody talks about the TLC 2014 opener at all. It's almost like the match didn't happen. Thankfully, it did, because it's one you'll want to relive.
