8. Goldberg Vs. Dolph Ziggler

Who knew that letting Dolph Ziggler getting the first shot in would create something so magical before his near-death experience against Bill Goldberg.

The WWE Hall Of Famer and former WCW Champion tore through the 'Show Off' with a spear to claim an easy victory in under a minute after absorbing the opening blows, but the action after the bell was as joyous as what went down in the actual "match".

Ziggler, again steering in to the inner sh*thouse he's finally released over the last few months, got on the microphone to hilariously banter off Big Bill as not being all that tough anyway.

Gleefully taking the bait, Goldberg returned to deliver two more literal and figurative side-splitters as Dolph did the one thing he's always been able to do really really well. His bumps from the tackles were legitimately thrilling - this entire thing was as satisfying in execution as it had all the potential to be during the planning.
