#5. Fandango won his first WWE title almost 10 years after his debut
Many fans are aware that in the first few months of his debut on the main roster, Fandango was supposed to participate in an Intercontinental Championship match at WWE Payback. However, after suffering a real-life concussion injury, Fandango was replaced by his former NXT tag team partner - now going by Curtis Axel - who would replace him and ultimately win the championship
While Fandango would return to WWE in July of the same year, Fandango never really got another chance at another championship again. While Fandango was gifted in the ring, was engaging with the WWE Universe, and had the look that WWE often searches for, many circumstances lead to him having very few looks at opportunities for singles championships. Fandango's place in the eyes of the WWE brass sharply changed from rising mid-carder, to a side attraction.
In addition to the occasional inclusion in battle royals, MITB, and Tag Team tournaments, Fandango was involved in many interesting and comedic storylines in his time. One of the better storylines was, of course, the formation of the Fashion Police with him and Tyler Breeze. But again, no genuine push towards WWE gold was ever given.
Eventually, after years of not doing much on the main roster, Fandango made his way back to NXT in 2019 where he would reunite with Breeze. At NXT TakeOver XXX, the duo - known formally as Breezango - defeated both Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch, and Legado del Fantasmato faction to become the number one contenders for the NXT Tag Team Championships.
This would lead to the August 26th episode of NXT, where Breezango defeated Imperium to win the titles finally giving Fandango his long awaited title. Much to the delight of many fans of Tyler Breeze and Fandango.
