The Phenomenal Rise of AJ Styles
Kicking off our 2015 WWE retrospective is none other than the Phenomenal One, AJ Styles!
AJ Styles' journey in WWE began in 2015, and boy, did he make an entrance! Styles debuted at the Royal Rumble, shocking the world and eliminating Roman Reigns, setting the stage for their epic feud. His smooth in-ring style and charismatic promos quickly made him a fan favorite.
Styles went on to challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, coming close to winning it at WrestleMania 31. He also formed the stable The Club with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, adding a new dynamic to the tag team division.
Seth Rollins: The Archvillain
Seth Rollins, the archvillain of 2015, left a trail of betrayals and broken bodies in his wake.
Rollins started the year as WWE World Heavyweight Champion, thanks to his infamous Money in the Bank cash-in at WrestleMania 30. He held onto the title until December, facing off against the likes of Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and Randy Orton in the process.
Rollins' 2015 was marked by his ruthless ambition and double-crosses. He turned on his Shield brothers, joined forces with The Authority, and even cost Sting his debut match at WrestleMania. Love him or hate him, there was no denying that Rollins was the driving force behind many of 2015's biggest storylines.
The Divas Revolution
2015 was the year of the Divas Revolution, a movement that brought fresh faces and new opportunities to WWE's women's division.
The year began with the controversial Divas Championship, but it wasn't long before the likes of Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Becky Lynch, and Brie Bella stepped up and demanded change. They delivered some of the year's most talked-about matches, including a groundbreaking triple threat at WrestleMania.
The Divas Revolution culminated in the creation of the Women's Championship, a symbol of the division's newfound respect and relevance. It was a turning point for WWE's women wrestlers, and a testament to the power of their performances.
The Rise of the Wyatt Family
The Wyatt Family was one of the most terrifying and intriguing factions in WWE history, and 2015 was the year they truly came into their own.
Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, and Braun Strowman (in his debut year) struck fear into the hearts of their opponents, thanks to their unique look, eerie promos, and brutal in-ring style. They held multiple tag team championships and were a constant presence in the main event scene.
The Wyatt Family's 2015 was marked by their feud with The Undertaker, which saw them deliver some of their most memorable and chilling promos. They may have been heels, but there was no denying the power and charisma of this sinister clan.
WrestleMania 31: The Show of Shows
No retrospective of WWE in 2015 would be complete without mentioning WrestleMania 31, the biggest and most talked-about event of the year.
Held at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, WrestleMania 31 featured some truly unforgettable moments. The main event saw Brock Lesnar challenge Roman Reigns for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, in a match that was as brutal as it was controversial.
But the showstopper was undoubtedly Seth Rollins' Money in the Bank cash-in. Rollins' surprise appearance and title win stole the show and set the stage for his dominant 2015. It was a moment that reminded us all why we love wrestling - for the unpredictable, anything-can-happen excitement.
