5. Cesaro and Tyson Kidd vs. The Usos (c) at Fastlane 2015

Cesaro is now a multi-time tag champion alongside Sheamus. The duo, known as The Bar has set the bar for tag team wrestling in general on multiple occasions. However, back in 2015, Cesaro was in a rough spot. After winning the inaugural Andre The Giant Memorial battle royale, the Swiss Superman had wandered along without much direction.

Things seemed positive at first when he was being dubbed as a Paul Heyman guy. However, soon things began going downhill for the Swiss Cyborg after he suffered a number of consecutive losses. Finally, it took a random pairing with Tyson Kidd to reinvigorate his career. The duo spent time in NXT honing their craft as a team before heading back to the main roster. Boy where they triumphant in their return.

Cesaro and Kidd faced the Usos for the tag titles at Fastlane 2015. It was a fast paced match in which the Usos played the role of the pandering babyfaces as opposed to their shtick these days. It was a showcase of the technical skills that Cesaro and Tyson Kidd possessed.

Watching these two men, you knew they had something special. Their finishing move was something we didn’t see quite often in the WWE. We can only wonder about what could have been possible had Tyson Kidd not injured his neck. It led to the end of this special tag team and another flat singles run for Cesaro. For Kidd however, it meant the end of his career as an active wrestler.
