10 Great Matches Hidden On WWE PPV Kickoff Shows
8. Cesaro & Tyson Kidd Vs. The Usos Vs. Los Matadores Vs. The New Day (WrestleMania 31)
Though WWE have often treated their tag division like an afterthought over the past few years, they've never been short of talented duos. The tag ranks have rarely been stacked, but they've always been stuffed with great wrestlers who, if given a chance, could help elevate the division back to an acceptable level of prominence.
Matches like this back the theory up. Buried on WrestleMania 31's Kickoff Show, and thrown together in a hastily assembled multi-team match, eight of WWE's most under-appreciated wrestlers collided in a Fatal Four Way that not only ruled the pre-show, but also outshone many of the main card's matches.
It was a total spotfest, of course. There's only so much room for psychology in an eight-person match with a 10-minute runtime, so the competitors said "screw it," did away with it entirely, and decided to warm the crowd up with pure chaos instead.
Each team had their moment to shine, but it was Cesaro and Tyson Kidd who stood out the strongest. The defending Tag Team Champions showed great cohesion throughout, and eventually stole a pinfall on Big E after Jimmy Uso had done the hard work, taking The New Day's powerhouse out with a Frog Splash.
