WWE 2016 Slammy Award Predictions
10. "This Is Awesome!" Moment Of The Year: Steve Austin, Mick Foley & Shawn Michaels At WrestleMania 32
Honourable Mentions: Shane McMahon Returns, The Shield Reunite at Survivor Series, First Ever Women's Hell in a Cell Match.
When WWE fans think back to The New Day vs. The League of Nations at WrestleMania 32, they tend to remember two things: The New Day's entrance, and what happened after the match. The underwhelming six-man tag that saw the white hot New Day lose to one of the least inspiring factions of the past five years left fans feeling a little flat. What happened next however, had everybody in the AT&T Stadium on their feet.
The return of Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, and Steve Austin stunned everyone and is a perfect example of what WWE call a "WrestleMania Moment". The three Hall of Famers approached the ring together, determined to take out The League of Nations to a raucous ovation. As each man hit their finisher the crowd erupted. Once the League of Nations had been cleared the New Day re-entered the ring. Xavier Woods' attempts to get Steve Austin to dance were met with a thunderous stunner, much to the delight of the crowd.
While some fans have issues with legends returning for one night and beating up current superstars, you couldn't help but smile. Expect Raw GM Mick Foley to humbly accept the award on behalf of Michaels and Austin.
