10 Best WWE PPV Endings Ever

7. Mike Tyson Crowns Stone Cold Steve Austin WWF Champion - WrestleMania 14

Back at WrestleMania 14, the Attitude Era was just beginning, and D-Generation X were at the peak of their powers. They were a fully fledged heel stable back then, and were pulling out all the stops to ensure Shawn Michaels remained WWE Champion after WrestleMania. DX had employed Mike Tyson as a special enforcer for Shawn Michaels' championship match against "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and the odds seemed stacked against Austin at the event - especially when Tyson and Austin were involved in an absolutely huge brawl on Raw a couple of weeks before the event. However, despite Austin being up against a visibly tough numbers game, that was soon evened up by Tyson at the end of the main event. With both men reeling from some pretty exciting action, Austin nailed Michaels with a Stunner out of nowhere to floor the champion. However, with Tyson as the man who could count the winning pinfall, the crowd assumed Austin had no chance. However, nobody expected the heavyweight boxer making his way into the ring and counting to three incredibly quick. All of a sudden, Austin was the champion - and D-Generation X were absolutely stunned. In fact, they were absolutely seething with the decision, but that only served to irk Tyson further; as he dropped Michaels with a vicious right hand, and then laid one of Austin's t-shirts over his body. It was a fantastic swerve that was incredibly befitting of a WrestleMania main event - and the star power involved made it even more outstanding.
