Kofi Kingston. WrestleMania 35. We can talk about how the reign ended and etc., but they struck the iron while it was hot at WM35 with Kofi getting the win and KofiMania succeeding. Kofi should have main evented that Wrestlemainia! I know the plan was for the first ever woman's main event; but by the time Wrestlemania happened, I think Kofimania was more popular, and a much better feel good moment.
Maybe it's my hindsight since the woman's 3 way was not very good, and had that lackluster finish. Even without the botch, that finish was lame. (Becky asking where her mom was adorable though)
I think Kofi and Bryan would've suffered from a tired crowd like the women did. I wish I could go back and make WM 35 two nights.

The Ultimate Warrior at SummerSlam 1988. Everyone was bored of The Honky Tonk Man’s IC reign and the Warrior was red hot at the time. It was also booked perfectly in that the longest reign in history was ended in one of the shortest matches in history. There could also be an argument for Warrior winning the WWF title at WMVI. I'd still rather have had Beefcake win the I-C title, who was pretty over himself. Between that Ron Bass storyline and the parasailing accident the following year, Beefcake never got the title.

One can debate if his in ring stuff merited it and how his reign was handled, but given his push and reaction from the crowd, Miz pretty much won the WWE Title at exactly the right time. I think at Survivor Series following Cena's noble sacrifice would have gotten slightly more heat, but they struck just when the iron was hot.

Santino winning the Intercontinental Title in his debut for the "Milan Miracle" was pretty lightening in a bottle stuff

Though I do think the women were also dogged by some strange agenting choices, like having a feud that had for months been built around weapons and then not having any weapons spots except for a weak table one (Charlotte getting taken out by the most fearsome move of all, the double hip toss), or missing out what would have been a great callback (Becky finally gets Ronda in the Disarmher, but Charlotte hits Natural Selection to parallel Summerslam, but this time Becky kicks out). The insistence on tandem moves also hurts the match in hindsight, along with some pretty sloppy moments like the double Natural Selection.

The 42nd time that R Truth won the 24/7 Title was absolute perfection. Not nearly as odd as the 22nd and with a lot more impact than the 51st.
