10 Amazing Wrestling Moments That Came Totally Out Of Nowhere

Sticking with the theme of unexpected beat downs causing an audience to lose their damn minds in that rarest of ways, AEW's refusal to unleash the sight of a performer lashing out at an official as often as some of their rivals paved the way for an exchange which managed to wake up a typically sleepy Rampage crowd recently.

With Athena fully embracing the evil within on the back of her recent victory over Madison Rayne, the former WWE star opted to inflict further damage on her already emphatically beaten adversary on the November 18 show.

And it was this post-match battering that ultimately led to a concerned Aubrey Edwards trying to intervene, only to eat an absolute shot to the mug for her troubles from the out-of-control Athena.

One deliciously violent thump later, the one-time Ember Moon went from pretty horrible villain to public enemy number #1 in an instant, with the piercing sound of audible shock cementing this as arguably the most impactful Rampage development of the year.

If only more of these one-hour slices of AEW Friday-night action boasted this sort of shocking, crowd-popping brilliance, eh?
