8. Big E Catches Jey Uso With The Big Ending
The New Day have spent months reminding fans that they're the most entertaining part of WWE television, but at the Royal Rumble, they finally cinched complete dominance over the tag team division. The Usos may have been the last team left for the champs to defeat, but they did it in spectacular fashion - when Jey attempted to hit Kofi Kingston with a splash from the top rope, Big E caught the 240-pounder on his shoulder, then nailed him with The Big Ending for an impressive and decisive win. Even though storytelling logic might dictate that The Usos - getting their first two-on-two title shot after an injury layoff - win the belts, WWE has clearly realized that The New Day are the more entertaining team, and that they should be kept as the focal point of WWE's tag team division, elevating it as they go. Perhaps, for only the third time in the past decade, those titles will be a part of the main WrestleMania card - the only problem is that WWE will need a new set of challengers. Paging Enzo and Big Cass...
