1. The Impossible Dream: Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania XXX

Let's kick things off with a genuine underdog story that still gives us goosebumps. Daniel Bryan's journey to the top was anything but smooth. He wasn't the stereotypical WWE superstar – he was smaller, more technically gifted, and deeply connected with the fans. But the Authority, led by Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, did everything in their power to keep him down. The fans, however, weren't having it. They hijacked shows, chanted his name relentlessly, and made it clear that they wanted Daniel Bryan as their champion.

The culmination of this movement came at WrestleMania XXX. Bryan had to overcome insurmountable odds – first, he had to defeat Triple H just to get into the main event. He did just that, battling through a grueling match and securing the victory. But that was only half the battle. In the main event, he faced the unlikely duo of Randy Orton and Batista for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Orton and Batista, both bigger and stronger, teamed up to try and take Bryan out. The Authority interfered at every turn, trying to ensure that Bryan wouldn't leave with the title. But Bryan, fueled by the roar of the crowd and sheer determination, refused to give up. He battled through the pain, locked in the Yes! Lock on Batista, and forced him to tap out. The Superdome erupted as Daniel Bryan finally achieved his dream, becoming the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. This win wasn't just a personal triumph for Bryan, it was a victory for all the underdogs out there, proving that anything is possible with hard work, dedication, and the support of the fans. Guys, this was more than just a win; it was a movement!

2. The Streak Ends: Brock Lesnar Defeats The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX

Speaking of WrestleMania XXX, this night also saw the end of an era. The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania was legendary. For over two decades, no one had been able to defeat the Deadman on the grandest stage of them all. Wrestlers came and went, but the streak remained unbroken. That is, until Brock Lesnar came along. Lesnar, a beast of a man with unparalleled strength and aggression, was determined to conquer the one thing that had eluded everyone else. The match itself was a brutal affair, with both men taking each other to their limits. Lesnar punished The Undertaker with suplex after suplex, while The Undertaker responded with his signature moves. But as the match wore on, it became clear that The Undertaker was not his usual self. He looked slower, more vulnerable, and Lesnar capitalized. After hitting The Undertaker with a third F5, Lesnar finally pinned him. The silence that followed was deafening. The crowd was in shock, unable to comprehend what they had just witnessed. The Undertaker's streak was over. While some fans were upset, others recognized the significance of the moment. Brock Lesnar had accomplished the impossible, cementing his place in WWE history. This win was a testament to Lesnar's dominance and a reminder that in WWE, anything can happen.

3. Hulkamania Runs Wild: Hulk Hogan Slams Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III

Let's rewind back to 1987 and one of the most iconic moments in wrestling history. Hulk Hogan, the embodiment of Hulkamania, was at the peak of his popularity. He was the ultimate good guy, inspiring millions with his message of hard work, dedication, and saying your prayers. Andre the Giant, on the other hand, was a massive force of nature, billed as being undefeated for 15 years. When Andre aligned himself with Bobby Heenan and challenged Hogan for the WWF Championship, it was seen as an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. The match at WrestleMania III was a spectacle. Over 93,000 fans packed the Pontiac Silverdome to witness the clash of the titans. Andre dominated early, using his size and strength to wear Hogan down. But Hogan, fueled by the energy of the crowd, refused to give up. In a moment that is forever etched in wrestling history, Hogan summoned all his strength and slammed the 500+ pound Andre the Giant. He then followed it up with his signature leg drop and pinned Andre to retain the WWF Championship. The crowd went wild, and Hulkamania reached new heights. This win solidified Hogan's status as the biggest star in wrestling and cemented WrestleMania III as one of the greatest wrestling events of all time.

4. The Montreal Screwjob: Bret Hart Loses the WWF Championship at Survivor Series 1997

Now, let's move on to a controversial moment that forever changed the landscape of professional wrestling. Bret Hart, one of the most respected wrestlers in the world, was leaving the WWF to join WCW. He was the WWF Champion at the time, and his contract stipulated that he had creative control over his final few weeks with the company. Hart didn't want to lose the title in his home country of Canada, especially to his rival Shawn Michaels. However, Vince McMahon, fearing that Hart would take the title with him to WCW, decided to take matters into his own hands. During their match at Survivor Series in Montreal, McMahon ordered referee Earl Hebner to ring the bell while Michaels had Hart in the Sharpshooter submission hold, even though Hart had not submitted. The crowd was stunned, Hart was furious, and the Montreal Screwjob was born. This win for Michaels was tainted, to say the least. It was a betrayal of trust and a black mark on the history of the WWF. However, it also ushered in the Attitude Era, a period of edgier and more realistic storylines. The Montreal Screwjob remains one of the most talked-about moments in wrestling history, a reminder that the line between reality and fiction can sometimes be blurred.

5. Stone Cold Steve Austin Defeats The Rock at WrestleMania X-Seven

Speaking of the Attitude Era, no list of top wins would be complete without mentioning Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin was the anti-hero of the era, a beer-swilling, rebellious redneck who defied authority and did things his way. His rivalry with The Rock was one of the most intense and captivating in wrestling history. At WrestleMania X-Seven, in front of a raucous crowd in Austin's home state of Texas, the two titans collided for the WWF Championship. The match was a brutal no disqualification affair, with both men using everything at their disposal to try and gain the upper hand. Chairs, tables, and even the McMahon family were involved. In a shocking turn of events, Austin aligned himself with his longtime nemesis Vince McMahon, turning heel in the process. With McMahon's help, Austin defeated The Rock to win the WWF Championship. This win was controversial, as many fans were disappointed to see Austin turn his back on his principles. However, it was a pivotal moment in his career and further cemented his legacy as one of the biggest stars in wrestling history. The ruthless pursuit of the title was the ultimate prize.

6. Eddie Guerrero Cheats to Win: Defeats Kurt Angle at Judgment Day 2004

Eddie Guerrero, the ultimate underdog, was known for his charisma, in-ring skill, and his willingness to bend the rules to get ahead. His motto, "I Lie, I Cheat, I Steal," perfectly encapsulated his character. At Judgment Day 2004, Guerrero faced Kurt Angle for the WWE Championship. Angle, an Olympic gold medalist, was a technical wrestling machine. Guerrero knew that he couldn't beat Angle in a straight-up wrestling match, so he had to resort to his old tricks. During the match, Guerrero faked an injury, tricking the referee into thinking that Angle had hit him with the WWE Championship belt. While the referee was distracted, Guerrero kicked the belt into Angle's hands and then fell to the ground, pretending to be unconscious. The referee saw Angle holding the belt and assumed that he had used it as a weapon, disqualifying him and awarding the WWE Championship to Guerrero. This win was a classic Eddie Guerrero moment, showcasing his cunning and his ability to outsmart his opponents. It was a reminder that in wrestling, sometimes the bad guys win.

7. KofiMania Runs Wild: Kofi Kingston Wins the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35

However, he was never seen as a main event player. That all changed in 2019 when Mustafa Ali suffered an injury, opening up a spot for Kingston in the Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship. Kingston seized the opportunity, delivering a series of stellar performances that captivated the WWE Universe. The fans rallied behind him, chanting "Kofi! Kofi!" and demanding that he be given a chance to compete for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35. WWE listened to the fans, and Kingston was granted his wish. He faced Daniel Bryan, the WWE Champion, in a match that was seen as a * David vs. Goliath* story.

He was the ultimate good guy, inspiring millions with his message of hustle, loyalty, and respect. At Bragging Rights 2009, Cena faced Randy Orton in an "Iron Man" match for the WWE Championship. An Iron Man match is a 60-minute match where the wrestler who scores the most falls wins. Orton, the Apex Predator, was a ruthless and calculating opponent.
