Brock beating Ambrose at WM 32, which pretty much started the mess we find ourselves today with Brock.

18 Seconds. Bryan vs. Sheamus at WM 28. In hindsight, it's amazing that this one finish is the thing that likely most influenced fan responses to modern WWE programming.

Reigns winning the Rumble in 2015. Just because this was the year after the controversy of the 2014 Rumble but WWE couldn’t help themselves again.

And was the most likely vessel for us to have "Daniel Bryan - Actual Main Eventer" instead of "Daniel Bryan - Holder Of Top Titles".

That began their little streak of sticking it to the fans. 2014 2015 2016 - Kane and Show destroying all our favorites At least 2017 they gave it to Orton and 2018 they gave it to Shinsuke both over Roman. No comment on 2019, could've been better choices.

Christian losing to Orton. I’ll never forget the uproar online over that.

Ambrose could have been cemented as one of their top stars if he had defeated Lesnar. It was time for Lesnar to go down in order to put someone over big. I agree that the Brock situation is a huge mess. I've used this analogy before, but it's like if the MCU continued with five more years of Thanos owning the heroes in every movie.

Randy Orton cash in at the 2013 summerslam still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Randy Orton cash in at the 2013 summerslam still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I don't see any problem with Orton cashing in and taking the belt away from Bryan right after he won it. Daniel Bryan's title reign only lasted minutes, but he won the title from John Cena, the Hulk Hogan of the time. The person he beat the title for cements him as a major player regardless of how long he held the title. Having the title stolen from him by Orton also gave Daniel Bryan a potentially great feud going forward. What made things suck was everything that came after Summerslam 2013, and how WWE became wishy washy on pushing Bryan.

Definitely 18 seconds. That one juiced up conversations for a good while, and even rectifying it at Yeslemania just brought it back up.

I’d love to see the alternate universe where Sheamus and Bryan just have a normal good match at WM28 and how the world turns out from that.

Hell, that's where Cena got started. It's not like Dean plummeted afterwards, but a lot of people were looking for a Triple H-Cactus Jack style fight, and we got nothing.

If we count outside of WWE, this one immediately comes to mind: In WWE, I'd say this: At least "18 Seconds" brought a renaissance to Bryan's career. I'm over here dying at Sting's George Washington hair.

One personal one for me was that Brock/Roman/Ambrose triple threat at Fastlane 2016. Ambrose should of won that match, beat hhh at mania and become Cena’s replacement. Roman could of had his big mania moment the next year. They could of done Roman Brock 2 at mania 32 with Brock winning, then the next year do the third match and have Roman go over for the universal title

Roman vs Braun Hell in a Cell ending in no contest. Also, Brock winning a Money in the Bank he wasn't even in.

The story of the dropout and drug addict who fought, scratched, clawed, and dumpster dived his way to the main event of WM to face THE ONE TRUE DIAMOND IN THIS BUSINESS is a way better story than what we got.

I agree the match could have been better and Brock should have made Ambrose a star. I disagree that he should have defeated Lesnar though. Imo, Ambrose at the time wasn't there yet. Hell, Reigns at WM34 wasn't there yet.
