I get people thinking CM Punk's AEW debut was incredibly obvious, but for me personally, I'd seen so many "CM Punk returns to wrestling!" rumours by that point that I'd been conditioned to very much take a "I'll believe it when it actually happens, and not a moment before" stance on it.
I don't think the Batista turn on Evolution was meant to be a surprise, mainly due to the way the story played out, especially Batista overhearing Triple H and Flair discussing how they had framed JBL and Dave was too stupid to work it out.
In fairness, that was just on the segment before the big contract angle. But he figured they were trying to play him anyway and he was gonna challenge him anyway, but knowing they went to that level put him at ease with his potential betrayal. Dave did some seriously good acting in that storyline, played a huge part in the great actor he eventually became.
Mercedes Mone signs with New Japan has to be up there. As Mercedes walked down the ramp, Kevin Kelly on commentary called it the "Worst kept secret in the industry."
Batista in 2005 - " Hunter...... I'm staying right here on RAW 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️...... @ Wrestlemania I'm taking the World Championship........ FROM YOOOOU!!" 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember the Edge to AEW rumours going around and I didn’t think much of them, Darby and Christian main eventing was weird but Cassidy and Mox just did at All Out so I assumed it was just result of no world title match again. I don’t know why but seeing the graphic again one day it just hit me lmao
@tompatchak8706 literally. Anytime the WWE respond to the same thing more than once, you can expect something is up. Had they not responded at all, and not said anything, I would've been more likely to believe he wasn't returning
I mean yea Edge going to AEW was spoiled for me on RU-vid and I know people say his WWE return in 2020 was spoiled by a video with Sheamus on a biking trip where Edge fell off of his bike but was fine but let's be honest no one actually thought Edge would be going in the Rumble at the 2020th Edition also I never knew Edge had a bike accident until way later. Also we never hot Edge and Christian's one more run in WWE 😢
Another "surprise" everyone saw coming was Evolution turning on Randy Orton after Randy won the big gold belt. Was easy to see that coming, as Trips was obsessed with being world champion.
I’m surprised to find out that pro-wrestling began and ended with “with the Attitude Era” a time, like the days of King Arthur “we” all ought to pine for again.
Was it really a surprise though cause we already knew that Copelands contracting was expiring and didn’t plan to renew. Let’s face it. Edge has done practically every thing in the wwe.
CM Punk CM Punk He's Really Gotten Under My skin If Tony Kahn had some Balls I tell ya he wouldn't let ol' Phil Brooks get his bloody way sad just sad just like Dixie Carter and Hulk Hogan but not as bad
