10 Most Unforgettable Wrestling Spots Of 2023 (So Far)
2. Jimmy And Jey Uso Refuse To Stay Down After A Spike/Spear Combo
As these final two entries will prove, sometimes the most powerful moments are the ones when a valiant babyface defies all the odds with something as simple as an unanticipated kick-out after a killer spot.
The Bloodline Saga had already produced a few monumental pops in the lead-up to Money in the Bank 2023, with Jimmy Uso's shocking Superkick to Roman Reigns at Night of Champions and Jey's subsequent boot to 'The Tribal Chief's face on SmackDown in the aftermath both still being two of the most electric spots of the year so far.
But the best was yet to come.
As the Bloodline Civil War reached its dramatic closing stretch, 'The Tribal Chief' and Solo Sikoa looked to have depressingly done enough to put down their family, delivering a destructive Samoan Spike/Spear combination to Jey.
However, with cries of "bullsh*t!" ringing out around the O2 Arena, a stacked pair of Usos suddenly pulled off the impossible.
Kicking out at 2.999999, the deafening explosion of noise that met this heroic refusal to stay down set the stage for a masterful closing stretch, one that boasted brilliant low-blow callbacks and the equally unforgettable shot of Roman finally being conquered by his 'Right Hand Man'.
