5. Dolph Ziggler wins the World Heavyweight Championship from Alberto Del Rio, April 8, 2013 – For nearly three years, members of the Internet Wrestling Community have been begging for Dolph Ziggler to capture a world title in the WWE. He actually had a reign that lasted about a minute on February 18, 2011, a reign that is easily (and appropriately) forgotten by many diehard fans.

When Ziggler won the Money In The Bank Ladder Match in 2012, it was overshadowed by John Cena’s briefcase win on the same night. Cena would later become the first guy to cash in and lose, furthering everyone’s anticipation of Ziggler’s eventual cash in moment.

After an agonizing wait, Ziggler finally cashed in on the now famous 2013 “Raw After Mania” card, much to the delight of the sold out IZOD Center in New Jersey. This unique crowd greeted Ziggler with a Steve Austin like pop and jumped from their chairs when their bump-crazy favorite scored that final three count.

Time will tell how Ziggler’s reign stacks up, but it is one that will forever be a part of wrestling—and WrestleMania—history.

4. Eddie Edwards wins the ROH World Championship from Roderick Strong, ROH Manhattan Mayhem IV, March 19, 2011 – What an amazing move by Ring of Honor. The company had started a practice of telegraphing its title changes thanks to iPPV and their TV taping style. But this win came out of nowhere. Eddie Edwards was primarily a tag team wrestler. He was also the first ever ROH World Television Champion, but was terribly booked as a coward champion for far too long. Earning a title shot by winning 2010’s Survival of The Fittest, Eddie had an untelevised title shot at Roderick Strong in New York City, one that was assumed to go down as a great—and successful—title defense for Roddy.

That wasn’t the case as Edwards picked up what surprise win, later revealed to be a well-kept secret booked several months in advance by the company. With only three title defenses and his dropping the title to a lackluster (at the time) Davey Richards, Edwards will hardly be remembered as one of the best ROH World Champions. But his title win will always be one of my favorites.

3. CM Punk wins the (WWE) World Heavyweight Championship, WWE Raw, June 30, 2008 – Many Money In The Bank cash-in moments could easily be part of a list like this: the aforementioned Dolph Ziggler cash-in, The Miz beating Randy Orton, Edge making the inaugural cash in, but this one truly shocked the world.

Long before topping the WWE’s merchandise sales list, “walking out” on the company or being “The Best in the World” by holding the WWE Championship for 434 days, CM Punk was a guy many figured wouldn’t get a fair shake in the WWE. He was supposedly “too indy” for the company to push, and was just going to go down as a “skinny fat guy” who would be called upon as a role player from time to time.

Fast forward to WWE’s WrestleMania 24 PPV in Orlando, Florida, where CM Punk would basically win Money In The Bank because Jeff Hardy’s screw-up found him off of the WrestleMania card. At that time, many assumed that Punk would become the first man to cash in his Money In The Bank contract and lost.

Three months later, he was cashing in against the first man to become world champ via a Money In The Bank win, Edge. Punk would actually never lose the title in this reign, and sparked what is not considered to be a sure-fire Hall of Fame career for the skinny fat indy guy.

2. Ricky Steamboat wins the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship from Ric Flair, NWA/WCW Chi-Town Rumble, February 20, 1989 – Months beforehand, Steamboat returned as a surprise partner Eddie Gilbert, pinning Ric Flair on TBS to become an immediate #1 Contender to Flair’s world title. This lead to their title match at the Chi-Town Rumble PPV, where Steamboat would win his first (and only) world championship.

The Ric Flair-Ricky Steamboat trilogy is long considered one of the best in wrestling’s history, but many people sleep on this first match. None of their encounters match the intensity and edge-of-your-seat drama that this match provides, and it stands up to many title matches put on today—24 years later.

1. Austin Aries wins the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Bobby Roode, TNA Destination X, July 8, 2012 – TNA proved on this one night that they still had a set of balls, and that the feel good surprise was possible. Nevermind the fact that I picked Aries to win—despite the pick, I don’t think I myself believed it would happen.

But it did.

The moment is one I’ll never forget. It had literally been several years since a match had me sitting on the edge of my seat. At that time, wrestling became real again. Scripted or not, I didn’t know who was going to win. There was no reason for Bobby Roode to lose at this point…he was already the longest reigning world champion in TNA history, he was finally being used properly as champion and he was on a collision course with James Storm at Bound For Glory.

And those facts made it that much more special.

The best title changes are the ones no one sees coming, even if they got the prediction right. Austin Aries winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Bobby Roode, and being made into a main eventer for TNA, let me be 100% a fan and 0% an analyst. While it was only for a short period of time, it was still brilliant. This match would later be names my 2012 Match of the Year, and still holds on as my favorite title change of all time.

You Decide: What are your favorite title changes?
