WWE has always taken the level of entertainment high by many notches by doing something unexpected. And even if it was expected, it was about damn time.

Here are a few instances that are relevant to the history of WWE and things that fans were waiting for, but never expected to see, or expected to see it, but couldn’t believe it the moment it happened. They express the sheer joy of experiencing a wrestling spectacle.

P.S. – Daniel Bryan may not win this Sunday, but rest assured, he will be the Superstar of the Year, undoubtedly. And it will all build to that one moment we all have been waiting for.

Honourable Mentions

2012: Santino shocks the world

If it wasn’t a surprise enough, Santino entered the Elimination Chamber and came close to winning. He almost shocked the world, which, after the match, wanted to be shocked more than ever. And he was going all Rocky Balboa too.

When he won the US title on RAW against Jack Swagger in Boston, the world got its moment.

2011: Zack Ryder wins US title

It was his only crescendo moment in the WWE, but he did this all on his own and how clever and intelligent it was. The way he used social media to finally get people talking was a unique occurrence.

But the company chewed that and spat it out. Now Zack Ryder is back to where he began, but with no show. How cruel art thou WWE!
