WWE Top 5 OMG Moments Of The Year 2016

OMG moments are the most likeable part of the WWE TV programming for the audience. They wait for these kinds of moments, every time. The shocking moments keep the fans’ interests in storylines to continue it further which in other ways might become boring, sometimes. This year, we have seen some major OMG moments which even completely changed the course of the WWE programming bringing more subscriptions to the WWE Network. Plus, the swerves also pushed to re-think about the way the WWE creative used to arrange storylines, usually. Let’s take a look at the top 5 of them.

 

 

Shane McMahon’s return

It was the night after the FastLane PPV when WWE universe was all pissed off with the decision of Roman Reigns main eventing Wrestlemania, again. #cancelWWENetwork was also trending on the Twitter just after one of the worst PPV events of 2016 got over. But, we did not have any clue what we are going to see, the very next night on Raw. Shane O Mac came out of nowhere demanding his claim over father’s empire. This was the change that the fans wanted for years. The Authority storyline have become so annoying hat we got the sigh of relief. Plus, it saved Vince McMahon with #cancelWWENetwork replaced by #ShaneMcMahon en route to Wrestlemania.

 

Shane McMahon’s death-defying jump

The so-called PG era got redefined with this death defying jump. In addition, Shane O Mac saved Vince McMahon with this move from the top of the cell. Over a hundred thousand of people were annoyed once again with Roman Reigns’ win at the main event. But, the only reason the biggest Wrestlemania of all time will be remembered is because of the jump off the sell which stole the show. Quite significantly, the almighty Undertaker has left his wrestling gloves inside the ring paying tribute to a true fighter like Shane

 

Dean Ambrose cashing in his MITB briefcase

It was on the same night when all the three members of the Shield was holding the most coveted prize of the sports entertainment i.e. the WWE World championship. This year’s Money in the Bank was having some Wrestlemania worthy matches and in addition, it has seen booking like never before. Rollins pin Reigns in a clean match was unthinkable. If that was not all then moments after that, the Lunatic came running down with a briefcase that he won just moments ago. The crowd went nut as he hit the Dirty Deeds and hold the championship for the very first time. The Ambrose Asylum was certified from that night.

 

Triple H handing Kevin Owens the Universal championship

After Balor relinquished the Universal title, we expected either Rollins or Reigns will pick it up again. Although Rollins vs. Triple H feud was pending for months, we did not see what’s coming. To a massive shock to the WWE Universe, the Game appeared out of nowhere to turn on against Rollins and literally handed the Universal title to Kevin Owens. The turn of events was so well executed that the WWE Universe went nuts. Also, KO might have been the first one to hear thousands of fans chanting “You deserve it” even if he is a bonafide heel.

 

Goldberg beating Lesnar in a squash match

This was one of the rarest occasions where Goldberg got a heroic booking despite all the differences he had with the company in the past. No one could have thought that the destructive force of Lesnar can be stopped with such domination and in a mere time of 1 minute and 26 seconds. This was also unusual since Vince might have wanted to build a heroic character for WWE in Goldberg. He already has Lesnar as the top villain. Hence, he wanted a total opposite persona and so the squash match was needed. But, it came totally, out of nowhere.
