4. Sin Cara's Time In The Lucha Dragons

Kalisto and Sin Cara worked well together as a tag-team on NXT. So good were The Lucha Dragons that fans popped huge for their NXT Tag Title win over The Ascension at NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way in 2014. Then, they followed that up on the main roster by being key parts of the first ever tag-team Elimination Chamber match in 2015.

Things looked good for the Dragons, so of course they were de-emphasised and later split in the summer of 2016 when Sin Cara was drafted to Raw and Kalisto posted to SmackDown. It seemed like a pointless split, especially because plans were in place to run the new Cruiserweight division on Monday nights; that's where both belonged.

Without his partner, Cara re-settled into the miserable pattern he'd been in before the team joined forces.

The prototypical masked jobber, he's been floundering ever since and his own move to SmackDown hasn't helped. Those two years Sin Cara enjoyed in The Lucha Dragons were the best of his career, and they even threatened to help fans forget about the original Cara's failed run.
