The gif above will forever define a contemporary classic more than the sh*t hot action that took place during the duration, but the rage on Cesaro's face as he tears at that beach ball with more efficiency than he ever did his own suits highlights just how disrespectful it was for the crowd to f*ck about during such a banger.

Unlocking the magic formula that had made so many Shield so gripping over the years, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose had worked the sh*t of their reunion before even arriving at SummerSlam to take The Bar's Tag Team Titles in what probably stands as the greatest ever match contested over the red-and-silver straps.

It was the best of times for tag team wrestling in WWE, with the four here given much to prove after The New Day and The Usos submitted a match that would have made this very list had it not been criminally trapped on the event's Kickoff Show several hours earlier.
