Caught in the middle of traditional Survivor Series elimination matches, Brian Kendrick vs. Kalisto was in a tough spot. Not only that, the pair also had to contend with the fact that interaction had been lacking on television in preceding weeks. Kendrick and Kalisto can hardly be blamed for that, they are on different shows.

Going about their business in a workmanlike fashion, the Cruiserweight duo eventually managed to suck the audience into their match. Playing a huge role in this was the bout's most visually stunning bump, one that could have went badly wrong had Kendrick and his masked foe not been careful.

Standing on the ring apron, Kalisto performed a backflip as he was holding onto Kendrick. Known as a Spanish Fly, this move looks painful even when used inside the ring. Taking that fall from the ring apron to the arena floor was brave, although it paid off because the stunt looked sweet.

Spectacular and stunning, this move had the announce team going crazy. Even though the Spanish Fly didn't end the match, it still looked great.
