Ranking 2015's WWE PPV Endings From Worst To Best

1. TLC: Tables, Ladders, And Chairs (December 13): Game Over

Main Event: Sheamus (C) versus Roman Reigns What Happened: By the end of an absolutely brutal TLC match, Boston's subdued fans - who had earlier greeted the main event with chants of "Daniel Bryan" and "NXT" - were actually into the action. Roman Reigns looked poised to win, but interference by The League of Nations allowed Sheamus to retain his title. After the bout, Reigns attacked Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, and Rusev, drawing out Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Reigns attacked "The Game," hammering him with chairshots, powerbombing him on a table, nailing him with an elbow drop, and hitting a Spear outside the ring before WWE's COO was stretchered to the back. Why It Was Great: For the first time in a long time, Roman Reigns looked like a battle-hardened destroyer who wasn't trying to play a role, and certainly wasn't trying to be the next John Cena. His complete disregard for the consequences of his actions felt real, and the level of violence in his attack on Triple H stood apart from what's generally seen on WWE TV. By the end of the show, the anti-Reigns crowd was fully behind him, and while it's hard to tell if that support will continue, it did the following night, when Reigns won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. it's clear that the key to success lies in a more judicious use of the WWE Champion - less talking and smiling, more punching and Spearing.
