How about an Iron Man Match where the heel has dominated the feud, remained champion and been such a vicious and arrogant tormentor to the babyface, who no one really gives a chance to win. The heel starts the match off strong and vicious. They almost seem to toy with the babyface -- "pacing himself," as the commentators would point out. The babyface, about twenty minutes in, manages to score a fluke roll-up and the announcers shit themselves. This heel has been such a dominant champion and he just got pinned! If this were any other match, the babyface would be champion. "It's not, though, it's an Iron Man Match. Bad guy is going to get back in control, you see" -- heel commentator.
The heel dominates some more and looks for a big move off the top to put babyface down. The babyface manages to knock them off the top rope, however. A missile dropkick is hit by babyface, knocking heel down. They get off their back onto their hands and knees, but an Oklahoma roll later and the babyface is up 2-0. Keep in mind, this heel has never even come close to losing his title like this. He applies a signature submission hold, but the babyface gets to the ropes. The heel celebrates because the face must have submitted, but the referee informs him that no such thing happened. The heel is frustrated and pushes the referee. "That was a submission!" "Don't you push me, I'm the ref!" The ref then says something to the ring announcer and timekeeper. The heel has been disqualified, the score now stands at 3-0. The heel is amazingly frustrated at this point, and knocks the referee out with a hard right. The heel seizes this moment and grabs the ring bell and clocks babyface in the face with it. Another referee runs down to the ring, but the babyface kicks out at two!
You see where this is going -- a dominant heel champion thinks an Iron Man Match is going to allow him to beat and humiliate his opponent, but the opposite actually happens. The babyface's skill, resilience, heart, and the heel's own fiendish nature all play in favor of justice that night, and the babyface takes an amazing clean-sweeping victory over a heel that has been nothing but dominant. It'd be a shocking upset for the ages, and wouldn't just be a heel putting a babyface over in a shocking way, but in a shocking way that makes the face look legendary.
