Zack Ryder's 5 Best WWE Moments
Looking back at an underutilised fan favourite...
1. Coming Full Circle With Hawkins
Ryder reverted back to lower-card occupancy after losing the IC belt, and remained there for three years. Old partner Hawkins was low on the caste system as well. Reunited once more, they shared Hawkins' long-lasting losing streak gimmick, and couldn't buy a win.
Then came WrestleMania 35, in the shadows of their old Long Island stomping grounds in East Rutherford, where the "Major Broskis" got one last triumph. On the evening's Kickoff show, Ryder and Hawkins briefly staved off their collective futility by upsetting The Revival to win Raw's Tag Team belts.
