Fandango is currently part of the NXT brand after a brief stint on the main roster, which wasn't considered to be successful by the company since his union with Tyler Breeze didn't lead the duo anywhere. Despite being overlooked by WWE throughout his career, Fandango has shown flashes of brilliance in many of his matches and none more so than when he faced Cody Rhodes on RAW back in 2013.

Rhodes climbed up to the top turnbuckle and unleashed a Moonsault on Fandango but either Rhodes delivered the move too quickly or Fandango was out of position and Rhodes was set to land on his head. Fandango jumped into the way and was able to catch him in the move and prevent injury.

Cody has since gone on to become a huge star in AEW and is now one of the best-known wrestlers in the world. However, it could be argued that he has to thank Fandango for helping him avoid a certain injury here otherwise his career may have been very different.
