Speaking of frankly ridiculous pops coming on the back of a pin break-up that seemed simply too unbelievable to actually be true, it's time to wander back to a time when a certain Bastard was making his initial jaw-dropping WWE waves in August 2015.

With then then-Neville being thrown into an eye-catching WWE Championship match against Seth Rollins on Raw a few months into The Architect's first run with the top strap, very few really expected The Man That Gravity Forgot to come away with the career-making win.

But then something miraculous happened.

Poised on the top rope, the former NXT Champion absolutely broke the champ with a picture perfect Red Arrow; a move that had helped the star win that aforementioned title. However, with Neville being a little too enthusiastic with the cover that all but confirmed his first-ever WWE World Championship win, Rollins' legs found themselves tied up in the ropes and the ref was forced to call off the count.

A state of shock and confusion washed over an arena utterly convinced the underdog had done enough. Yet, The Red Arrow itself still felt like a weapon capable of firing PAC all the way to the top someday.
