    2021 Awards: Surprise of the Year

    What a twist!

    The real twist is that there's a whole hell of a lot of nominations. We almost had to cut some.
    IYO SKY, Shotzi, Bayley, Gigi Dolan, Alba Fyre, Asuka, Kayla Braxton.

    This would be a difficult one, but at the end of the day, GameChanger Wrestling was a ho-hum indy promotion known for excessive violence. Of all the ex-WWE guys they could bring in, Matt Cardona shows up, and they get more social media buzz than the fucking Olympics.

    The company is now running a PPV event Saturday from Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, and is aguably the 4th biggest promotion in American behind WWE/AEW/Impact. Therefore the winner of this is the King of the Deathmatch, the King of the Indies, the GCW Universal Champion Matt Cardona.

    Honestly all the other nominees are not that surprising, as they were pretty known beforehand.
    IYO SKY, Shotzi, Bayley, Gigi Dolan, Alba Fyre, Asuka, Kayla Braxton.

    Everyone knew CM Punk was returning, so was it really that surprising?

    I'll go with Bray Wyatt's release. Multi-time world champion, top merch seller. Cut in the prime of his career.

    Wyatts release was probably the most shocked I've was off those moments last year.

    Cm Punks return was a surprise but it was also announced in advance.

    CM Punk wasn't announced there was just rumours.

    It was still surprising. More surprising than WWE's MO of releasing good talent. If Bray wasn't released this would be about Braun. If Braun wasn't released it would be Keith Lee, Aleister Black, etc.

    I'll go with the feel-good moment.

    I get both views points on the Punk return. For me the fact it was telegraphed took away from the surprise element. There was nothing at all to suggest either of Braun of The Fiend were going to be released.

    Has a multi-time world champion still in the main event scene ever been released?
