Cesaro somehow battled through the pain, and his tenacity seemed to send all four Superstars into a different gear. We said: This match instantly became iconic for the catapult from Dean Ambrose that sent Cesaro mouth-first into the steel turnbuckle, pushing The Swiss Cyborg’s teeth into his upper jaw. If you’re not expecting me to come out there and do what I do, that’s your fault.” - SAMOA JOE It’s to be expected, and I’m fine with that. I think at this point in my career I’ve been counted out and been a dark horse more often than not. At the end of the match, I saw my time to strike and I did. I realized the task ahead of me, and I realized in order to come out, I was going to have to take advantage of the best opportunity. They said: “You had four of the most dangerous athletes we have here in WWE. The final moments featured each Superstar getting seconds away from victory until Samoa Joe saw his opening and pounced, squeezing the life out of Bálor with the Coquina Clutch and seizing his dream opportunity. It wasn’t clear if anyone - or anything - would be left standing, with Roman Reigns destroying Finn Bálor and Joe with a Spear through the barricade to Seth Rollins Frog-Splashing Bray Wyatt through the announce table. No one ever thought he would be a main-event Superstar in WWE, but at WWE Extreme Rules, Joe battled the best Raw had to offer, dishing out punishment and capitalizing on the right moment. We said: For Samoa Joe, this was an opportunity to silence his doubters. Trust me, I can do better than that one.” - GENTLEMAN JACK GALLAGHER The next day I was quite happy, but honestly, it was more, ‘I can do better than that.’ If you think you’ve seen everything, you’ve not seen anything yet. It was still a young product, and we wanted to make our stamp early on. They said: “We knew going into it that no one was going to hold back, and we were all going to go for our absolute best. The Gentleman secured the win following a high-speed running dropkick, and although he would be unsuccessful against Neville at WWE Fastlane, he proved he was an early star among the young division. One of the most memorable moments featured Gallagher ascending the top rope and diving on top of his opponents, using his trusty umbrella to guide his descent. With alliances cast aside, the five Cruiserweights showed the WWE Universe what their division is all about. We said: WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville needed a challenger, and Cedric Alexander, Mustafa Ali, Noam Dar, Gentleman Jack Gallagher and TJP all stepped up in a fast-paced Fatal 5-Way Elimination Match to find out who it was going to be. I’ve actually done it.’, I immediately thought of my mom and my family because we were in Las Vegas, and my mom always liked to come to all my title matches in NXT because she always says, ‘You never know when it’s gonna happen!’ So I was like, ‘She’s gonna be so mad she’s not here.’” - BAYLEY You hear it all the time you feel like you made it when you get signed and all that, but it wasn’t until that moment when I felt like, ‘OK. It felt like everything I worked for since the very beginning. Charlotte and I were in the main event of that Monday Night Raw, and I had Sasha at ringside. They said: “Obviously it’s a dream come true. If you didn’t think Bayley belonged in the main event, this incredible Raw battle made you a firm believer in Hug Life. We said: Huggers gonna hug, winners gonna win.ĭismissing Bayley as a mere WWE fan and not championship material, Charlotte Flair had no choice but to respect her rival following this instant-classic main event, pitting Bayley’s underdog tenacity against Charlotte’s WWE Hall of Fame-worthy genetics.ĭespite Dana Brooke attempting to intervene - a threat that was neutralized by Bayley’s bestie Sasha Banks - The Huggable One hit Charlotte with a Bayley-to-Belly Suplex that won Bayley her first Raw Women’s Championship, a title she would carry to, and out of, WrestleMania 33.
