#1 IC Title Ladder Match - WrestleMania 31

What a classic
What a classic

Daniel Bryan, Bad News Barrett, Dolph Ziggler, Dean Ambrose, Cody Rhodes (Stardust), Luke Harper and R-Truth. That's one hell of a line-up for a ladder match that really did help to build the sense of fascination around a WrestleMania that had very low expectations heading in.

This was the kind of blockbuster showdown that delivered on all fronts, from fun side stories to great tussles for the title at the top of the ladder.

For a few years fans had been missing the thrill of seeing a ladder match at the Showcase of the Immortals after Money in the Bank was given its own pay per view. In 2015, though, those emotions came flooding back in a match that saw seven guys go out there and put it all on the line in the name of entertaining the WWE Universe.

While the end result - Daniel Bryan's Intercontinental Championship win - didn't really lead anywhere due to his injury problems, it was still one hell of a moment for someone who had been through so much in the previous 12 months.
