“This is a VERY rare appearance that we have been working on for several months,” pro wrestler and Cojo's Toy World co-owner Teddy Goodz said. “WWE doesn’t just let their talent appear. They are very selective. We are thrilled to have Ethan back at the new and improved Cojo’s Toy World!”

What to Know Before You Go

Doors open at 11 a.m. on Sunday. Upon arrival, fans will receive a numbered ticket to reserve their spot in line. This system will allow attendees to explore downtown or grab a bite while waiting. The official meet-and-greet line will begin forming just before the 1 p.m. start.

“It’s always awesome to bring larger-than-life personalities to the city, but it’s even more fun when it’s a personal friend,” Goodz shared. “We can’t wait to celebrate Ethan’s recent success in WWE, and it’s exciting to bring some extra foot traffic to downtown. We’ve had people reaching out from as far away as Orlando just to be part of this event.”

Whether you’re a longtime fan, an autograph collector, or just curious to meet a real-life WWE champion, this is your chance to step into the squared circle of excitement, right here in the heart of New Bedford.

10 Fastest Championship Matches in WWE History

A lightning fast championship match can be shocking, both for the right and the wrong reasons. Some of the quickest matches in WWE history have caused Superstars like Daniel Bryan to be catapulted to the top of the card, while others like Kofi Kingston had short moments of glory snatched away from them.

For this list, we're not counting Money in the Bank cash-ins like Dean Ambrose pinning Seth Rollins in nine seconds or Jack Swagger taking Chris Jericho's title in eight seconds. These are mostly traditional matches, minus one Money in the Bank precursor where Trish Stratus pulled the biggest heel move of her career.

Of course this is wrestling, so cheating is 100-percent legal for this list. If you happened to low blow your opponent just moments before the match began, only for the bell to ring thanks to some hapless referee -- that's a'okay with us!

Whether it be an iconic retirement match at Wrestlemania or a bizarre untelevised moment between a veteran and a rising star at Madison Square Garden, these are officially the 10 fastest championship matches in the history of WWE. Get out your stopwatches if you don't believe us!
