Either watching a PPV or RAW, when someone came back and you didn't know, it wasn't hyped up, or reported on the internet. I know Edge is coming to RAW but what if he had just showed up with no build up, wouldn't that have gotten a good reaction?

Punk defeating Cena and running off with the belt.
I texted my friend and said he had to see this match and the whole PPV. I said I wouldn't say a word about how it ended. He told me to tell him. He said later, watching it he thought I'd lied and was thrilled. Even though I told him beat for beat what happened, it still shocked him too.

When Triple H pedigreed Daniel Bryan. Granted a split second before it happen I kinda saw it coming, but it was surprising none the less.

I'll go one step further -- when Bryan beat Cena with the flying knee a few minutes earlier. I thought it looked impactful but didn't expect Cena to be beat by it. My reaction was legitimate shock and it quickly became a true mark-out moment. |

So true, while watching it I was like he'll kick out, but BAM! Bryan won. That was so unexpected I didn't even notice the 3 count It got the crowd too, they were hot all match but clearly didn't buy into that as a legitimate fall and they weren't counting along. The pop when he won was big but I do think there was a lot of surprise and shock surrounding the atmosphere to the end of that match. Gotta say it got me too, I thought Bryan was done for. Very nice surprise. Before that it was probably Brock's return. I hadn't been on the internet for a couple of days and I thought the crowd was just wishing for Lesnar by chanting for him. When his music hit I just went "holy shit!", totally caught me off guard. Ziggler's cash-in on Del Rio caught me by surprise too because they went to a replay of what happened at the end of the match (Del Rio vs. Swagger/Colter) and I've always said if they go to a replay it means that the cash-in isn't happening. Guess I'll have to revise that theory now. |

When Jessicka Havok debuted at SHIMMER. I thought right up to that point that she and Dave had nuclear heat. Dave even gave that impression in a podcast interview two days before the show. Fantastic work.

It's a bit of a minor surprise but I didn't expect Nikki Storm to get booked in places like Shimmer and Shine so early into her career, she's only been wrestling since 2008 and it was a pleasant surprise to see her go to the states after a relativity short time as a pro.
Same with Rhia O'Reilly helping Saraya that one Shimmer show when Saraya was the champ, O'Reilly always seemed fairly low on the totem pole as it were so it I never expected her to get involved in the main event.

I'll throw my hat in with Punk winning at MITB. I thought there was no way in hell it'd happen, and legitimately jumped out of my seat when Big Johnny started running down to the ring. I felt like a kid again, and had the hugest grin on my face when he won.

They planted the seeds for O'Reilly helping Saraya out the moment they made it known that Saraya helped train her. |

The first MITB cash in. Was a very pleasant surprise after a crappy PPV.

I honestly had the feeling that Bryan would win it only for Orton to cash-in. HHH becoming the ref pretty much sealed it.
I'd say the last time I was legit surprised was the ending to Aniversario this year. I didn't know if Kingston would retain or if Icarus would be the new champ. Once Icarus had the Chikara Special on, I was ready to call him the new champ. And then, Condor Security...

The last time I marked out for a surprise return was Nash as Diesel. The Rock is the very definition of "meh" for me.
