The WWE Tag Team Title Triple Threat Ladder Match at WWE TLC 2015 was a high-octane showdown that left the Dallas crowd in awe. Featuring The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods), The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso), and The Lucha Dragons (Kalisto and Sin Cara), the match was a perfect blend of athleticism, creativity, and sheer chaos.
The Build-Up
Heading into the match, The New Day were the reigning champions, having dominated the tag team division with their unmatched charisma and teamwork. However, The Usos, a staple of the division, and the high-flying Lucha Dragons were determined to dethrone the champions, making the ladder stipulation an ideal battleground for these three elite teams.
Match Highlights
From the moment the bell rang, the ladders became the match’s focal point. The Lucha Dragons dazzled with their aerial maneuvers, using the ladders as springboards for their breathtaking offense. Kalisto wowed the crowd early on with a corkscrew plancha over the top rope, wiping out both The Usos and The New Day.
The Usos relied on their unparalleled chemistry and hard-hitting style. A double superkick to Big E sent him crashing to the outside, temporarily neutralizing The New Day’s powerhouse. The brothers used a ladder to batter their opponents, keeping the action grounded.
However, the moment that stole the show came courtesy of Kalisto. Midway through the match, he performed a jaw-dropping Salida del Sol off the top of a ladder, sending one of The Usos crashing through another ladder bridged between the ropes. The arena erupted in chants of “This is awesome!” as Kalisto lay in agony, having sacrificed himself to make the moment unforgettable.
The New Day’s Xavier Woods, though not an official competitor in the match, proved to be the ultimate equalizer. In the closing moments, as The Usos and Lucha Dragons fought atop the ladder, Woods hurled his trombone at Kalisto, knocking him off. This allowed Kofi Kingston to ascend the ladder and unhook the titles, securing the victory for The New Day.
Aftermath
The New Day’s victory cemented their status as one of WWE’s greatest tag teams, while The Usos and Lucha Dragons earned respect for their incredible performances. The match remains a standout in TLC history, showcasing the risks and rewards of ladder matches at their finest.
