10 Fastest Pushes In WWE History

10. Yokozuna (155 Days)

There was always going to be at least one Samoan on this list. This may not have been the one you expected, but it’s a Samoan nonetheless.

Yokozuna’s first appearance in the WWE came at a WWF Superstars taping, way back in October 1992. There, he squashed (rather literally) an unfortunate Bill Jordan in less than two minutes. And within six short months, he’d find himself celebrating, albeit briefly, his first WWE Championship victory after beating Bret Hart at WrestleMania IX.

Now, if we were to go by the date that the Superstars taping was filmed, Lesnar would have beaten Yokozuna to 10th spot on this list. However, the show didn’t air for a good few weeks, and for the purposes of this list, we’ll be using a wrestler’s TV debut where possible, since this marks their official “unveiling,” if you will.

So by the time we got our first glimpse of the gargantuan Yokozuna on 31 October 1992, it would be just 155 days before he won the gold on 4 April 1993.

Being pushed so soon clearly didn’t affect Yokozuna too badly, though, as he was back on top just a few months later after securing a second WWF Championship.
