WWE Battleground: 10 Awesome Moments
9. Big E's Apron Splash On Darren Young
The tag-team division in WWE may need a bit more life injected into it, certainly in terms of numbers, but that's not to say that the tandems currently in the mix can't put on good matches. It's been heartening to see The Prime Time Players reunite and win the WWE Tag-Team Titles, even if there wasn't much explanation given as to why Titus O'Neil turned on Darren Young in the first place.
At Battleground, Young and O'Neil defended their belts against Kofi Kingston and Big E, with Xavier Woods shouting encouragement from ringside and getting increasingly more vocal as the match went on. On the whole, this is exactly the kind of tag effort that's quickly forgotten about, but there was one big spot that stood out.
With Darren Young laying prone underneath the ropes, his body positioned nicely on the ring apron, Big E took it upon himself to deliver a massive splash to his opponent, and it looked great. It'd be easy to half-ass a move like this, because it could be dangerous, but Big E got some serious height on his leap, and Young took it like a champ. There's probably a joke in there, but let's avoid it!
