10 Wrestlers Who Had No Idea What Was Coming Next
8. Jim Ross - Malakai Black Shocks The World
Every now and again a moment comes along that seems to catch not just the fans in attendance off guard, but the majority of the wrestling promotion involved too.
That's was exactly the case when it came time for the former Aleister Black to make his shocking presence known on AEW Dynamite recently during the company's return to touring in Miami. Evidence of the genuine surprise factor Malakai Black brought to the land of All Elite could be found on the announce desk as Jim Ross struggled to comprehend what exactly he was looking at during the Road Rager rampage.
As Ross would later reveal, the iconic voice and one-time Triple H-pinner wasn't even aware Black was in the building before he saw the lights come up in that debuting moment. This lines up with Black's comments that only "five or six" people were in the know beforehand, a decision that was made to ensure the company were able to pull off that rare beast of a genuinely stunning in-ring reveal.
