8. Kalisto
Its too early in Kalistos WWE career to call this a complete grade for the latest luchador to grace the ring. Debuting on the Raw after WrestleMania this year, Kalisto teamed with his fellow former NXT Tag Team Champion, Sin Cara. The Lucha Dragons got a lot of attention and praise from the announcers for their high-flying performances and garnered a few wins to start. In just two short months, the Dragons have become one of the more popular tag teams in WWE and could very well win gold in the coming months. At Elimination Chamber, Kalisto performed a death-defying move, scaling the inside of the chamber, climbing upside-down to the top (and center) of the chamber and dropping down on everyone. The move was the visual highlight of the match, though is should be noted that the Dragons have a lot more to offer than car-crash spots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=667eMnAa5hI Kalisto has yet to have a singles match outside of a win against Heath Slater on WWE Superstars so its tough to grade his debut. But hes off to a good start so far.
