10. Justin Bieber Chant

Unless this writer's ears are deceiving him, there was an audible "Justin Bieber" chant during that opening tag-team match this week.

As Shelton Benjamin and The Miz went to work on Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy tried to get the live crowd amped up by clapping his hands in anticipation for the hot tag. Bizarrely, Montreal used this as an excuse to chant for the Canadian pop star, and Jeff even joined in on the mid-chant claps.

This (frankly weird) chant continued when Hardy entered the ring too. It makes a change from the usual CM Punk hijacking, if nothing else, but WWE's production team must have been confused about why Quebec had suddenly turned into a sea of "Beliebers" live on air.
