History Awesome / WWE

** Many agree that match of the night was the Intercontinental Title match between [[Wrestling/{{WALTER}} Gunther]] and Wrestling/{{Sheamus}} as it was less of a wrestling match, more an ugly European street brawl in the best possible way. Both men battered the life out of each other, and by the end both men's chests were black and blue and the crowd ate it up, giving Sheamus a much-deserved standing ovation by the end. This match would end up giving WWE its second 5* Match from [[Wrestling/TheWrestlingObserverNewsletter Dave Meltzer]], already tying 2022 as the year with the most 5* matches for the company.

** The kicker? At one event, one guy in the audience (apparently a fat, out-of-shape, inner-city sweat-hog) was so hurt by Rude's statements that he spent the rest of the show in the bathroom crying! Also doubles as a [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Crowning Moment of Funny]]. Yeah, [[ComedicSociopath I'm a sadist like that.]]

* Crown Jewel 2022: As controversial as both he and the shows in Saudi Arabia may be, there's no denying that Creator/LoganPaul stepped up to the plate and topped his already impressive performances at ''[=WrestleMania=]'' and ''[=SummerSlam=]'' in his match with Wrestling/RomanReigns, giving the Tribal Chief one hell of a fight while also hitting a very clean Buckshot Lariat and an awesome Frog Splash from the corner to the table in the process (the latter was even done [[CrazyAwesome while recording from his phone]], and the POV footage was just as amazing).

* Wrestling/CMPunk vs Elijah Burke at ''Judgement Day 2007''. Incredible match. Sadly, the audience was dead.

* Clash at the Castle: WWE's first major show in the UK since 2003's Insurrextion, and the over 62,000 in Cardiff showed why UK crowds are renowned by making their voices heard (figuratively and literally), from doing the "Hey Wrestling/{{Bayley}}!" chant despite being a bitchy heel, to singing along to [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic "Broken Dreams"]] and making every match feel important.

* Following the Elimination Chamber match at ''New Year's Revolution 2006'', Edge cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase and defeated an already-weakened Wrestling/JohnCena (who'd just won the aformentioned Chamber match) to capture the WWE Championship. (Edge would do this again in 2007 - after defeating Mr. Kennedy for the Money in the Bank contract, Edge cashed it in and defeated Undertaker after ''he'' had just defeated Batista in a Cage Match; Edge won the World Heavyweight Championship in the process.)

* From 1983: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOgHMGRp4dc Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka splashing Don Muraco from the top of a 12-foot cage.]] Kind of tame by today's standards, but at the time, it was awesomeness personified.

* At TLC, Kalisto (in a triple threat ladder match between the Lucha Dragons, Wrestling/TheNewDay and Wrestling/TheUsos) hits the [[FinishingMove Salida Del Sol]] [[http://i.imgur.com/sxyXZA5.gif OFF A LADDER ONTO ANOTHER LADDER]]. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, they didn't win, but it was still awesome.]]

* '''WWE Elimination Chamber 2011''': John Morrison continues to steal the show at every PPV with his innovative [[LeParkour Parkour]] offense. This time, he scaled the actual dome of the Elimination Chamber structure and hit Sheamus with a cross body block. In the closing moments, he would do a [[CrazyAwesome TRIPLE JUMP FLASH KICK]] on CM Punk. Although John Cena would predictably win the match, it was first and foremost a showcase of Morrison's athletic ability.

* '''Bragging Rights 2009''': The 60 Minute Iron Man Match between John Cena and Randy Orton. Mostly for its HolyShitQuotient. Like Orton RKO'ing Cena in the middle of an FU, Cena FU'ing Orton from the top rope, Orton throwing Cena ''through a wall'', Orton actually ''[[{{KillItWithFire}} trying to use the pyro to toast Cena's back]]'', Orton DDT'ing Cena from the ring apron, Cena throwing Orton through the ring barricade, and Cena FU'ing Orton through a table.

** The Triple Threat Cage Match for the WWE Championship, which had John Morrison [[HolyShitQuotient hit a Starship Pain from the top of the cage]], The Miz doing a sick looking powerbomb on Morrison into the cage walls, and John Cena doing what can only be described as being a Monkey Flip from the top turnbuckle.

** Brock Lesnar [[CurbStompBattle beating the bejeezus]] out of John Cena for 90-95% of the match, busting him open ''legit'' [[HolyShitQuotient ((twice!))]], and hanging the man upside down on a ring post by his feet! Even though he lost after a steel chain shot and an AA on steel steps, Lesnar did what said he was going to do, plain and simple: ''Hurt Cena.''

* ''Awesome/{{WWENXT}}''

* WWE Fastlane has Triple H calling out Sting dressed not in his usual business suit, but in street clothes like he's gonna get into a fight. He then tries to talk Sting into leaving the WWE in exchange for making a mint off of merchandise royalties. Of course it turns into a brawl between the two. Even when Triple H has his trusty sledgehammer, Sting beats him to the punch with his baseball bat, making him drop the hammer (as in toss it out of the ring) and corners him. He then points to the [=WrestleMania=] sign, showing that's what he wants, all without saying a word. Triple H tries to jump him again, but gets a bat to the gut, and a Scorpion Deathdrop for his trouble.
** Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns have the main event for the evening, and whoever wins will face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at [=WrestleMania=]. The two of them go back and forth with each other, even with Roman Reigns being the first to kick out of the Running Knee. The match ends with Bryan going for another knee, only for Reigns to catch him with a spear and win the match. Bryan didn't like the result, but he does tell Roman: "You better kick his ass!"

** And of course, it led to Wrestling/VinceMcMahon making one of the best-known calls from that period:
-->'''[=McMahon:=]''' ''HOROWITZ WINS!!! HOROWITZ WINS!!! HOROWITZ WINS!!!''
