10. Mike & Maria Kanellis

Although they're technically not aligned together onscreen, Mike and Maria Kanellis have both wound up in Ring Of Honor in quite different roles. While Mike is continuing to prove himself as quite the striker, Mara was used to introduce ROH's interactive fan service, The Experience.

Mike's return to the company saw him immediately realign with his old Kingdom pal Matt Taven, adding another pairing to ROH's rather impressive doubles division. They had previously held the World Tag Team Championships there during Mike's first stint; expect to see those titles back around their waist before long.

Maria's role thus far has also seen her introduce a tournament to crown a new ROH Women's Champion. This replaces the Women of Honor World Championship that had previously been held by the likes of Kelly Klein and Sumie Sakai before it was retired.

Just this week, both Bennetts signed long-term deals with Ring Of Honor. They're the epitome of taking a bet on yourselves and riding the waves. It's no secret that they both wanted to be let go from the company long before they actually were. Had they been given the greenlight to go when they first requested, who knows what they could have achieved elsewhere.
