10. Fandango (WrestleMania 29)
Catching just about every single soul inside of MetLife Stadium off-guard on the night, and Chris Jericho himself upon being told the plan heading into the Show of Shows, Fandango toppling Y2J at WrestleMania 29 in what was his debut match on the main roster seemingly created a legitimately over persona overnight.
