10 Best WWE Moments From Wrestlers Who Just Got Released

10. Zack Ryder Wins The Intercontinental Championship At WrestleMania

WrestleMania 32 was a weird one. With a depleted roster, WWE had to make the best out of a bad situation, and ended up delivering a lot of very unexpected booking decisions as the night went on. A lot of matches didn't pan out as expected, and while that's not necessarily a bad thing, some fans were left baffled by the decisions which were made.

Well, one that everyone could get on board with saw Zack Ryder climb to the top of a ladder to win the Intercontinental Championship in a bout which also included Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, Sin Cara, The Miz, Stardust, and Kevin Owens. He got to celebrate at ringside with his father, and while he lost the title the next night (a truly dumb decision by WWE), Ryder got his WrestleMania Moment.

That's not something many wrestlers - including most of those listed here - can say, and the image of Ryder holding that title as the crowd went wild won't be forgotten for a long time to come. It's just a shame WWE never really gave him a serious run as Intercontinental Champion!
