4	* At a circa Christmas 1997 broadcast, Triple H and Shawn Michaels put on an obviously fixed match for the European title, in which Triple H bounced back and forth off the ropes about ten times before giving Michaels an incredibly fake body slam for the pin. They were mainly doing this to defy Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter who forced them into having a match against one another.
5	* The abovementioned "match" wasn't the first time Slaughter was defied by an in-ring StylisticSuck. In the fall of 1997, Wrestling/BrianPillman tried to get out of wrestling his fellow Hart Foundation member, Wrestling/OwenHart, by faking an injury. Slaughter called bullshit on that pretty quick and forced them to go at it. The two responded by taking ''forever'' to warm up, then proceeding with some of the most half-assed wrestling in history. Extra funny: during the break, Marlena turned them against one another, and Raw returned with them pounding the ''shit'' out of each other.
6	* During the "ECW Invasion" episode, Heyman, Lawler and Vince on the Blue World Order:
7	--> '''Paul:''' The Blue World Order is a revolutionary concept in wrestling today!
8	--> '''Vince:''' Is that right?
9	--> '''Paul:''' That is correct!
10	--> '''Lawler:''' It's another ECW ripoff!
11	--> '''Paul:''' Of what? [[Wrestling/{{WCW}} Who]] and [[Wrestling/NewWorldOrder what]] are we ripping off.
12	** Immediately after that, Vince is forced to acknowledge the nWo, but dismisses it as a "clothing line".

16	* On July 6th, Wrestling/DGenerationX came to the ring dressed as Wrestling/TheNationOfDomination, and each did hilarious impressions of each member. Wrestling/TripleH was "The Crock".
17	-->'''Crock!Triple H''': You know...The Crock just came from the bathroom, and you should have smelled what Wrestling/TheRock was cooking! I ain't fakin', you should've smelled what the Crock was bakin'!\
18	'''B-Lo!Road Dogg''': HE WAS BAKIN'! BROTHER WAS BAKIN'!
19	** A guest star, Jason Sensation, then did a pretty insulting (but still hilarious) impression of Wrestling/OwenHart. The next week Wrestling/OwenHart's BerserkButton would be activated and he'd give Jason Sensation a beat down.
20	*** Leave it to Triple H to have the best lines from that segment:
21	---->'''[[Wrestling/MarkHenry Mizark]]![=X-Pac=]''': [[WesternAnimation/FatAlbertAndTheCosbyKids Hey hey hey]], Rocky! Well I don't know what you're cooking...smells like shit...but I think I'll have some anyway, hey hey hey!\
22	'''Crock!Triple H''': Wrestling/MarkHenry--Mizark--you're the world's strongest man, and the Crock's got a hell of a body himself...but what the Crock wants to know [[SpecialEffectsFailure is how you get your pecs to wrap all the way around your body like that]]...\
23	'''B-Lo!Road Dogg''': ''(as Mizark![=X-Pac=] [[{{Corpsing}} dies laughing]])'' [[LargeHam WHAT THE BROTHER WANTS TO KNOW IS HOW]]--\
24	'''Crock!Triple H''': SHUT UP!
25	* Wrestling/ValVenis and his feud with Kaientai over the summer was an example of the ridiculous heights the storylines of the Attitude Era went. Basically Val Venis was a porn star who got the wife of Kaientai's manager Mr. Yamaguchi to sleep with him. Enraged, Kaientai cut a promo in which they chopped a large sausage with a katana sword while Mr. Yamaguchi screamed "I choppy choppy your pee pee!" The next week they kidnapped Val Venis, and the final shot of that episode of Raw was Venis tied naked to the ceiling, and Mr. Yamaguchi swinging his sword down as the camera went black. Luckily for Venis, he somehow escaped after the camera turned off.
26	* The October 5th edition of Raw featured Wrestling/VinceMcMahon recovering in the hospital after having his leg broken by Wrestling/{{Kane}} and Wrestling/TheUndertaker the week before. And who else should come in to cheer him up than [[Wrestling/MickFoley Mankind]], and his new friend Mr. Socko? Later on in the night, Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin snuck into the hospital dressed as a doctor, and gave Vince a beating with a bed pan, and a forced enema.

29	[[folder:1999]]
30	* March 22, 1999 the night Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin rode a beer truck down to the ring and hosed down Wrestling/TheCorporation in beer, and one of the defining moments of the Wrestling/AttitudeEra. Seeing Wrestling/VinceMcMahon belly flop onto the ring and look like he was trying to swim added to the hilarity.
31	* May 10, 1999: Commissioner Shawn Michaels forces Wrestling/PaulBearer to have a match with Wrestling/TheBigShow. Highlights include Paul Bearer shouting "I'm not a wrassler!!" and Jim Ross comparing him to a beached whale.
32	[[/folder]]
33
34	[[folder:2001]]
35	* August 20th, 2001: The final segment of the night started with a hilariously over-the-top tribute to Stone Cold Steve Austin by The Alliance (which included a cheesy karaoke sing-along of a song in Austin's honor), and ended with Wrestling/KurtAngle bringing in a milk truck and drenching Austin and the rest of The Alliance with milk, much like how Austin gave Wrestling/VinceMcMahon a beer-bath back in '99. And yes, Angle did to his own take on Austin's signature beer-drenching taunt, with milk.
36	** Special mention goes to Jim Ross. While Stephanie [=McMahon=] is standing in the ring covered in milk, screaming, stamping her feet and pounding her fists like an eight-year-old's temper tentrum, Ross shouts out, "The Billion Dollar Princess has become a DAIRY QUEEN!!!"
37	* Also the look on Lilian Garcia's face during the song basically saying "Why am I here?" while someone (possibly Terri Runnels) is making her wave along to the song after she ended up in the ring.
38	* November 19, 2001: The first thing Mr. [=McMahon=] does after solidifying control of the WWF over the forces allied with WCW and ECW is fire Paul Heyman. And as he's hauled off by Security, Vince calls down Jerry "The King" Lawler to return to the broadcast table. Jerry enters as Heyman is being carried off, and stops to laugh at him.
39	[[/folder]]

41	[[folder:2003]]
42	* March 3rd: The Rock gets into an argument with the Hurricane, who'd been spying on The Rock in the locker room.
43	-->'''The Rock''': The Rock, when he threw you over the top rope, he was saying, he was screaming to you, he said - hey, the greatest line a super hero has ever said. Film/TheScorpionKing, he said: ‘Haku machente, dah! Haku machente, ah!' Do you remember that? Do you have any idea what that means? Do you have any idea how enormous that is? Do you know what Haku machente means?
44	--> '''The Hurricane''': Well apparently, from what I saw behind that curtain, it means The Scorpion King's got a tiny ding-a-ling!
45	-->'''The Rock''': in shock WHAT? WHAT! NO! NO!!
46	* Throughout March: Throughout the month leading up to [=WrestleMania=] 19 and then Backlash, The Rock put on concerts in the ring, insulting Stone Cold Steve Austin and later Goldberg, plus [[CheapHeat whatever town he happens to be in]].
47	--> "The Rock is bigger than Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks/ But still he has to deal with these, Long Island skanks! (crowd boos)/ He'll kick Austin's ass ya know./ And that's the bottom line because The Rock says so."
48	* June 16: In order to get Wrestling/LanceStorm to jazz up his FlatCharacter persona a bit, Stone Cold Steve Austin comes out onto the stage during one of Storm's matches, chanting "Borrrrinnnngg" into the microphone, and going to sleep with the blanket and pillow he brought with him, snoring. This distraction costs Storm the match.

56	* [[Wrestling/ShawnDaivari Daivari]] was testifying on RAW GM Wrestling/EricBischoff's behalf during the Bischoff "Trial" on the December 5, 2005 episode. After Daivari finished, Judge Wrestling/VinceMcMahon said that he hadn't heard a word Daivari had said because he was listening to Music/AshleeSimpson on his new iPod, adding, "She sucks!"

60	* During the infamous Guest Host era, the one & only Creator/BobBarker makes a guest appearance, and, with The Fink as his announcer, promptly [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAsiZMFhbF8 plays a pricing game]] with Wrestling/SantinoMarella, Jillian Hall, Wrestling/ChrisJericho and ''Irwin R. Shyster'' of all people. Even people who hate the whole Guest Host concept love this segment.

63	[[folder:2011]]
64	* The ImagineSpot on the May 23 episode of RAW about Obama giving a press conference on the upcoming ''Capital Punishment'' pay-per view.
65	* [[Wrestling/RonKillings R-Truth]] coming out in a confederacy outfit, to explain that his seceding from the WWE Universe, apologize for throwing a drink at a father for being a Wrestling/JohnCena fan (though it was mostly for wasting a perfectly good drink), and then confirming that his first name is R.
66	** "USEDTA IS A ROOSTA FROM BREWSTA!" - So hilarious, that even Wrestling/JohnCena glanced at Truth and [[{{Corpsing}} looked like he was about to laugh]].
67	* On the June 20th edition of RAW, Wrestling/TheMiz, R-Truth, and Wrestling/{{Christian}} end up getting into an arguement. This gradually devolves into Christian and Miz shouting "Randy!" and "Riley!" at each other. R-Truth then jumps in and starts yelling "Jimmy!" at the other two. This continues for several seconds and is surprisingly funny.
68	-->'''Miz''' (to Christian): How ''dare'' you.\
69	'''Christian''': (to Miz) How dare ''me?'' (to R-Truth) How dare ''you!''\
70	'''R-Truth''': (to Christian) How dare ''me?'' How dare you!\
71	'''Miz''': (to Christian) Really? (to Truth) Really? (back to Christian) Really?\
72	'''Christian''': (to Miz) Really? (to Truth) Really?\
73	'''Truth''': (to Miz) Really?\
74	'''Miz''': (to Christian) Really?\
75	'''Christian''': Really!\
76	'''Miz''': Really?\
77	'''Christian''': [[FreudianSlip Riley!]]\
78	'''Miz''': Riley? [[Wrestling/RandyOrton Randy!]]\
79	'''Christian''': Randy? Riley!\
80	'''Miz''': Randy!\
81	'''Christian''': Riley!\
82	'''Miz''': Randy!\
83	'''Christian''': Riley!\
84	'''Miz''': Randy!\
85	'''Christian''': Riley!\
86	'''Miz''': Randy!\
87	'''R-Truth''': JIMMY!\
88	'''Miz and Christian''': ...\
89	'''R-Truth''': [[MadnessMantra JIMMY, JIMMY, JIMMY, JIMMY]]!
90	** The best part: When they were all saying "Really?" to each other, the audience got involved and yelled "Really?" after each one.
91	* On July 26...Wrestling/TripleH hosting RAW. EVERYTHING about Triple H hosting RAW!
92	* October 10, 2011: Raw goes on strike. The only people left are Triple H, John Cena, Sheamus, and CM Punk. We end up with Triple H reffing a match between John Cena and Sheamus, with CM Punk doing commentary. The best part is CM Punk once he finds out he's doing commentary. He looks like a kid in a candy store.
93	-->'''CM Punk:''' Do not adjust your television sets, ladies and gentlemen. We are in Bizarro World.
94	* On October 31, 2011 we saw Franchise/TheMuppets host Raw, had some fun skits, specially with Wrestling/{{Sheamus}} meeting Beaker in a hilarious segment.
95	** [[BrickJoke Even more hilarious if you remember]] [[Wrestling/EdgeWrestler the reference.]]
96	* On November 14, 2011 Wrestling/MickFoley returns and gives Wrestling/JohnCena the "[[EpicFail This Is Your Life]]" and it ends with Wrestling/TheRock walking in giving Foley a Rock Bottom and walking out like nothing happened. Later on it has The Rock and Wrestling/JohnCena [[SarcasmMode politely]] [[VolleyingInsults insulting each other]].
97	** The "This is Your Life" segment was undeniably a car wreck - but one you can't help but watch. Despite being an EpicFail, no one can deny it was downright hilarious.
98	* The 2011 Slammy Awards (December 12th, 2011) gives us Wrestling/CMPunk's acceptance speech for the "Pipe Bomb of the Year" Slammy, which Punk punctuates with a [[StylisticSuck hilariously bad]] video "tribute" of Executive Vice President of Talent Relatons and Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis, complete with footage of his early days as a wrestler.
99	* December 26th: Monday Night RAW begins with no theme music, just a shot of the arena in anticipation of CM Punk's arrival. His music plays, the camera goes to the ramp, and out comes... Executive Vice President of Talent Relations & Interim General Manager of RAW John Laurinitis, wearing CM Punk's "Best In The World" shirt over his suit and doing Punk's entrance. "Who says I can't be unpredictable?"

103	* January 9th: "Funkasaurus" Wrestling/BrodusClay. Full stop. Seen here it all it's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72jEUpcvocw glory]].
104	** Made even better by Curt Hawkins' expression after watching Brodus' entrance - it pretty much echoed what most people were probably thinking at the time. About 30 seconds, of course, Hawkins [[SquashMatch was looking at the lights.]]
105	** Brodus' dance-off competition with Vickie Guerrero and Wrestling/WilliamRegal a few weeks later was pretty funny, made even better by a couple of {{Shout Out}}s with Vickie doing the [[Series/{{Seinfeld}} Elaine Dance]] while Regal channels Creator/MorecambeAndWise.
106	* February 13th: The opening segment, which featured the six participants of RAW's upcoming Elimination Chamber match, Wrestling/DolphZiggler, [[Wrestling/RonKillings R-Truth]], Wrestling/TheMiz, Wrestling/KofiKingston, Wrestling/ChrisJericho, and the defending champion Wrestling/CMPunk, in a 'debate' facilitated by Wrestling/JerryLawler. About four minutes in, [[Wrestling/RonKillings R-Truth]] is given the floor. What followed next was two minutes of [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Truth]] basically reaching an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59r2kaIXkyQ entirely new level of batshit insanity.]] Ziggler is so wrong-footed at one point that he nearly dips into {{Angrish}}, and at another moment, Punk (who is also pretty funny himself in this promo, [[DeadpanSnarker in his own sarcastic way]]) grabs his podium and turns his head away from Truth because he's about to lose it and start {{Corpsing}}.
107	* February 20th: Wrestling/JohnCena defuses Wrestling/EveTorres' plans to seduce him[[note]]Eve had turned heel in the opening segment of ''Raw'' by revealing that she didn't care much for Wrestling/ZackRyder, only using Ryder for personal gains, and that she had similar plans for Cena. Cue Cena looking nonplussed right behind Eve, leading to the next segment mentioned previously.[[/note]] in the most hilarious manner imaginable.
108	-->'''Cena''': I lost a [[Wrestling/ZackRyder broski]] for a hoeski!
109	* April 2nd: The audience was the best thing during the show (until the last five minutes). They were hilarious, often starting chants of [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson "YES!"]] during the whole show. When Alberto Del Rio came out, the audience then started chanting [[BilingualBonus "¡SI!"]] (And it's abundantly clear that Del Rio has ''no idea'' how to react and is caught completely off-guard) Plus, chanting "Let's go A-Train" at "Lord Tensai" [[YouLookFamiliar after he debuted with his new gimmick]], and "You're a loser" at Cena when he admitted defeat to The Rock after [=WrestleMania=].
110	* May, 14: Wrestling/JohnCena gives Wrestling/JohnLaurinaitis a hilarious TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, cutting Laurinaitis off everytime he started to talk by suddenly screaming "Loser!" at him in a funny voice (mocking Laurinaitis calling him a loser), and getting in some jokes that had even Wrestling/MichaelCole laughing his head off. Laurinaitis doesn't get one word in edgewise the entire thing.
111	* June 4th: In the aftermath of a match between Wrestling/CMPunk and Kane, [[Wrestling/ChickBusters AJ Lee]] is checking on Punk when she realizes Kane is behind her. Daniel Bryan comes in, but is [[HopeSpot taken out]] before he can rescue her or she can escape. It looks like a dire situation, until AJ stands up and...strikes probably the closest thing to a moe expression that a person could pull in real life. The apparent confusion from Kane and the fact that it keeps him from attacking or intimidating her really needs to be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Xt5nZRMo2PY#t=92s seen to be believed]]. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ABGPMctsuEw follow-up]], where AJ is interviewed by Josh Matthews, just shows that she is capable enough of making an entertaining gimmick out of "crazy chick" of all ideas.
112	** And later in the show, after defeating Lord Tensai, Cena was allowed to have a 'no disqualification' match against Michael Cole, forcing Cole to apologize to Jim Ross and call him his hero. He then soaked Cole in JR's bbq sauce and sprayed him with a fire extinguisher. This was all for Cole blaming Cena over The Big Show's FaceHeelTurn, DisproportionateRetribution perhaps but still hilarious.
113	* June 11th: Most every segment with Wrestling/VinceMcMahon was hilarious, especially the opening promo (where he chews out Wrestling/JohnLaurinaitis and subsequently totals Ace's People Power Scooter), and [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment dancing with Brodus Clay's dancers]] later on in the evening.
114	** [[DudeNotFunny Except the one with Hornswoggle.]]
115	** This episode also featured a tag match between the team of Kane and Daniel Bryan and the team of CM Punk and...AJ. After a few minutes, AJ gets accidently tagged in against Kane. Before he can do anything, she defuses him with a smile and [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment proceeds to skip around him like a school girl.]] She then leaps onto to him, wrapping her legs around him, staring lovingly into his eyes for a moment before shoving her tongue as far down his throat as it can possibly go. Neither Cole nor Lawler could believe what they were seeing. Once the kiss was over, Kane simply [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere tagged in Bryan and left]], looking as confused as everyone else.
116	** CM Punk calling Bryan "Goat Face", which immediately becomes a meme on Website/{{Twitter}}.
117	** Santino Marella threatens to use the Cobra on Ricardo Rodriguez. Ricardo tries to run, but goes face-first into the ringpost. Then, Santino pulls off Ricardo's shirt and reveals he's wearing a Music/JustinBieber shirt underneath.
118	** During Ryback's match, chants of "Goldberg" [[SevenYearRule were clearly audible]].
119	* June 18th: During the opening match of CM Punk & Sheamus vs. Kane and Daniel Bryan, AJ decides to get involved in a most bizarre way: by walking in and all dressed in a Kane outfit while skipping about around ringside.
120	* June 25th: John Cena does a recap of the past month, casting everyone as ''Franchise/StarWars'' characters.
121	-->'''Cena''': (''as Wrestling/VinceMcMahon as Yoda'') No chance in Hell, you have. (''breaks character and starts laughing, calms down'') Fired, you are.
122	* July 2nd: In accordance with an earlier criticism in the night towards Daniel Bryan, in a backstage segment, Jericho attempted to dissuade Bryan from doing his signature "YES" chants. After a few attempts (all resulting getting "YES" screamed back in his face), Jericho apparently joined the school of "If you can't beat them, join them," and well...
123	** This commercial for the 1,000th episode of Raw that aired after Episode No. 997, featuring [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Mr. McMahon]], Wrestling/JohnCena, Wrestling/{{Sheamus}}, [[Wrestling/TheBigShow Big Show]], [[Wrestling/ChickBusters AJ]], Wrestling/KofiKingston, [[Wrestling/RonKillings R-Truth]], Wrestling/{{Kane}}, Wrestling/CMPunk, Wrestling/TripleH and The Great Khali involved in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ewt_1BooY7o a monumental lapse in communication (funny bloopers and cutting room footage included in link)]].
124	*** "Ooh... Cake..!"
125	* July 23rd: It's the 1000th episode of Raw and [[https://youtu.be/LcHZNRcPyiY AJ is getting ready for her wedding to Daniel Bryan]]. When Layla implies AJ might be a little mentally unstable, AJ retorts that she's hardly the craziest person around here, opening the door to Wrestling/HacksawJimDuggan and his 2x4 talking to seemingly no-one, Rowdy Roddy Piper and R-Truth trying to teach [[ImaginaryFriend Little Jimmy]] to skip, and then with possibly [[BrickJoke one of the longest payoffs in wrestling history]] - Mae Young appears with a guy dressed in a giant hand costume, who introduces himself as Mae Young's son. Yes, the hand she had with Wrestling/MarkHenry from back in 2000 was now "All Grown Up". - Even Michael Cole [[{{Corpsing}} couldn't hold it in]].
126	** The D-Generation X reunion, with Wrestling/BillyGunn & Shawn Michaels arguing over who gets to deliver the "And if you're not down with that, we got TWO WORDS FOR YA!" line; Shawn being convinced he's forgot something & checking to see if he's wearing his underwear, and then asking Triple H if ''he's'' wearing his underwear; Triple H joking that he's the only one still with a full head of hair; and the group huddle to discuss how they should beat down Wrestling/DamienSandow.
127	** Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon trolling Wrestling/PaulHeyman into accepting Triple H's challenge to Wrestling/BrockLesnar, and kicking his ass afterwards, much to her husband's amusement.
128	*** The BigWhat delivered by Michael Cole as [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Mr. McMahon]] appeared on the entrance ramp during the wedding of AJ Lee and Daniel Bryan. The pitch he reaches, coupled with the sheer incredulity audible in his voice, makes it even better.
129	* August 13th: The last match of the night was a tag match between CM Punk and John Cena against [[Wrestling/TheBigShow the Big Show]] and Daniel Bryan. An ongoing gag in the match was nobody in the match liked one another, not even their tag partners. Between Show and Bryan, Bryan would repeatedly tag himself into the match, much to Big Show's annoyance. Add to that the frequent "NO! NO! NO!" that Bryan worked into the match (which got pretty good rises from the crowd), and Big Show finally just takes a seat by the announcers, rather than deal with the craziness. As for Punk and Cena, the capper to their tension was Punk seemingly mocking Cena's desire to make the hot tag by performing [[FiveMovesofDoom Cena's comeback sequence]] in front of him, executing the flying shoulder blocks and the spinout powerbomb. He even performed the "You Can't See Me" gesture and was about to hit the Five Knuckle Shuffle before Cena tagged himself in. He then followed suit by copying Punk's own finishing sequence. The match really has to be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ci9krq_hzM&feature=g-u-u seen to be believed]].
130	* August 27: Kane attends an anger management class with Daniel Bryan. The doctor asks Kane if there was anything he wanted to tell the group about himself and he replies with, "I'm the Devil's favorite demon." Then the doctor asks Kane to explain what makes him angry and to begin at childhood and Daniel Bryan's reaction of "This is a bad idea" was with good cause as Kane [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDSVMS47VjE described his entire career]] as casually as somebody talking about the weather. It ends with a completely stunned look from the doctor.
131	-->'''Kane''': I grew up locked in a basement, suffering severe psychological and emotional scarring when [[Wrestling/TheUndertaker my brother]] set my parents on fire. From there, I shifted around among a series of mental institutions until I was grown, at which point I buried my brother alive ... twice. Since then, I've set a couple of people on fire and abducted various co-workers. Oh, and I, uh, [[UnnecessaryRoughness once electrocuted]] [[Wrestling/ShaneMcMahon a man's]] [[GroinAttack testicles]]. Years ago, [[DiscontinuityNod I had a girlfriend named Katie]] but [[OldShame let's just say that didn't turn out too well]]. My real father is a guy named Wrestling/PaulBearer, who I [[BodyInABreadbox recently trapped in a meat locker]]. I've been [[Wrestling/{{Lita}} married]], divorced, broke up my ex-wife's [[Wrestling/EdgeWrestler wedding]] and Tombstoned the priest. And, [[LampshadeHanging for reasons never quite explained]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking I have an unhealthy obsession with torturing Pete Rose.]]
132	* The Sept. 3 RAW also gave us some good moments in the anger management classes, including Bryan calling Kane a "teacher's pet" for [[ItMakesSenseInContext setting his anger collage on fire]], the two of them bonding over not catching [[ButtMonkey Harold]], only to blow it all when Kane asks for a rematch... leading to CriticalPsychoanalysisFailure on the part of the doctor, who [[UnstoppableRage blows up at them]].
133	** Note, by 'setting his anger collage on fire', we don't mean produce a lighter and light it. We mean throw it into a garbage can and ''perform his ring entrance'' to send a column of fire exploding out of the can.
134	-->'''Bryan:''' Teacher's pet...
135	** Watch Kane's expression as he sits down though, you can clearly see him {{Corpsing}}. Link [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6YHlZFLDZM here]].
136	** And let's not forget, after the segment Kane & Bryan had to meet in the ring to a challenge chosen by the audience on Twitter. The options were to face each other in a match, team up in a tag match or... hug it out. Of course, the Universe went for Hug it Out by a overwhelming majority. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity ensued]].
137	** When Matt Striker tries to interview AJ about CM Punk pulling a ScrewThisImOuttaHere, she asks blankly, "Who are you?"
138	*** Which may or may not have been lampshading the fact that Josh Matthews, who normally does most of the interviewing, has been in and out of the announcing lineup to [[ItMakesSenseInContext sell his feud with Kane.]]
139	* September 10th: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8-2YPu9ACc This segment]].
140	** Although it was somewhat subsequently overshadowed by real life events that transpired (namely, Jerry Lawler having a [[MoodWhiplash heart attack for real]]) the continuing Anger Management adventures of Kane & Bryan continued to amuse - first off was a backstage segment where Kane & Bryan were each led to the locker room after being told the other wanted to see them - which turned out to be orchestrated by a man called by Kane "Of all the monsters I've met... ...the most evil": Doctor Shelby, their Anger Mangement therapist. He then, with the support of the general manager - puts them into a tag team match together to work out their differences with the chance of becoming the number one contenders to the tag team titles. After a regular two-people-who-don't-want-to-team-up-but-are-forced-to kind of match, Kane loses it when Bryan tags himself in before he can perform his finishing manoeuvre. So naturally, he chokeslams Bryan instead...right onto their opponent, which gets them the win. Finally, backstage after the match and talking with Doctor Shelby they once again start an ever-escalating argument over whose name should come first in their team name, which leads to this gem:
141	-->'''Doctor Shelby:''' How about 'Team Friendship?'
142	-->'''Kane & Bryan:''' '''''NO!'''''
143	* September 24th: Kane & Daniel Bryan doing ''that'' "Film/WhenHarryMetSally scene". [[ItMakesSenseinContext Yes. THAT one.]]
144	-->'''Mae Young:''' I'll have exactly what they're having!
145	* November 12th: Jerry Lawler makes a triumphant return, having survived and fully recovered his heart attack in September. As he's giving his speech, however, CM Punk - who has been feuding with Lawler - interrupts. What follows is a setup that [[CrossesTheLineTwice crosses the line in so many ways]] that only a proper heel can pull it off. Punk objects to Lawler stealing ''his'' spotlight, demeans the significance of technically being dead, and then has Heyman blatantly fake a heart attack in the ring to garner sympathy. It doesn't work. The whole thing is so unmistakably vile that you can't help but find it hilarious.
146	-->'''Wrestling/CMPunk:''' ''[To Heyman]'' You almost gave me a heart attack!
147	* December 24th: Alberto Del Rio accidentally hits Santa Claus with his car[[note]]Of course the IWC jumped on the absurdity of the situation right from the start, as "[[Wrestling/MickFoley Santa]]" mistimed his cue and looked like he was trying to pull a StagedPedestrianAccident on Del Rio, claiming he was trying to pull an insurance fraud scam.[[/note]], and the show becomes a straight up parody of itself. Constant updates on the jolly fat man's condition delivered dead seriously by the commentators and backstage interviewers. The entire roster, faces and heels alike, rallying behind Santa, leading to John Cena letting out a [[LargeHam mighty]] [[BattleCry "FOR SANNTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"]] in accepting a street fight match against Del Rio. And then there's the match itself. Talk about wacky. Teddy bears, bowling balls, [[PieInTheFace pies]] and even a Christmas tree get used as weapons.
148	** Prior to the match, when checking in on Santa's condition, his EKG begins to go arrhythmic...to the point of playing "Jingle Bells," which was both amusing and a sign that Santa was going to be okay.
149	*** Which he proved later in the above match when he came out, beaned Del Rio's stooge Ricardo Rodriguez over the head [[LethalJokeWeapon with his sack of toys]], and then pulled a page out of Mick Foley's book with the Santa Socko on Del Rio! Probably one of the most hilarious matches they've ever done.
150	** Also, [[ItMakesSenseinContext Kane was THIS close to eating a puppy]].

154	* March 4th: On an "Old School" episode, Team Rhodes Scholars were booked against the New Age Outlaws, and took advantage of the opportunity to mock the Outlaws' signature ring introduction;
155	-->'''Cody Rhodes:''' (air guitar riff)
156	-->'''Damien Sandow:''' "Oh, you were not aware of this?"
157	-->'''Cody Rhodes:''' (air guitar riff)
158	-->'''Damien Sandow:''' "Your posterior better contact someone at once!"
159	-->'''Cody Rhodes:''' "Ladies and gentlemen, young people of all gender and ages, Taste and Decency proudly presents to you the reunited future tag team champions and best friends; the Essence of Mustachioed Magnificence, the Intellectual Savior of the Masses, TEAM RHODES SCHOLARS!"
160	-->'''Damien Sandow:''' "And if you're not (finger quotes) "down" with that, we have two words for you..."
161	-->'''Both:''' "'''YOU'RE WELCOME!'''"
162	* March 11th: Creator/HalleBerry [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBFjNNKFwHE gets a phone call from one of her biggest fans]].
163	-->'''Halle Berry:''' "You put your home address as 'The Depths of Hell'. What am I supposed to do with that?"
164	-->'''Kane:''' "Well, you know how kids write letters to Santa at the North Pole? This is the opposite."
165	* April 8th: The NJ Chant Mob. The night after a rather divisive [=WrestleMania=] 29, the New Jersey crowd decided to make themselves heard. During the unwanted Wrestling/RandyOrton vs Wrestling/{{Sheamus}} match (which took up nearly half an hour on account of the Rock skipping a scheduled appearance due to injury, which also lead to cancelling a related Brock Lesnar appearance, and the subsequent cancellation of a Triple H segment when he realized the crowd was out of control), fans began chanting everything from “[[Wrestling/SamiZayn OLE OLE-OLE-OLE~]]” to the name of Senior Referee Mike Chioda. After that they began chanting for various people including ring announcer Justin Roberts, commentators "JBL", Jerry (Lawler) and Michael Cole, and wrestlers RVD, HBK, Randy Savage, [=Y2J=], and Wrestling/TheUndertaker. The crowd then began chanting for random vendors like the ice cream man, pretzel man, and cotton candy man, defunct cult federation ECW and even chanted "WE ARE AWESOME". At one point as the match continued to drag on, the crowd ran out of chants and simply resorted to ''doing the wave''. After Wrestling/TheBigShow ran in to end the aimlessly meandering segment they chanted "thank you, Big Show", followed by "One more chair!" after he began attempting unsuccessfully to toss the announcer's chairs into the ring. Watch all ''34'' minutes of awesome [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=965oc-v5cmg here]].
166	** It started early, with "SEXUAL CHOCOLATE" (directed to Mark Henry) chants during John Cena's promo, along with cheers when he tried out various dance moves including "the shake", "the twist", and "the ''heel turn''"; chanting "BULLSHIT!" when Booker T denied Mark Henry a title shot against Cena in favor of the Rock (who wouldn't be wrestling anytime soon due to his injuries); and "WE WANT [[Wrestling/DolphZiggler ZIGGLER]]" chants during Alberto Del Rio's match.
167	** Let's not forget Cena's reaction to the "SEXUAL CHOCOLATE" chants; "These people want to have sex with chocolate..."
168	** The chanting truly went off the rails in the following segment in which Fandango appeared; the crowd was ''chanting and dancing to his (lyric-less) theme music.'' Must be seen to be believed: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtg2tFygKiE Here]].
169	*** Spurred on by this incident, Fandango's theme song became a top 10 hit in the UK ''less than 36 hours later'' on the basis of iTunes sales.
170	*** Technically, and perhaps even more hilariously, the crowd still hated Fandango himself (as evidenced by the ''massive'' pop Wrestling/ChrisJericho got during his beatdown of Fandango). The dance and the chants of his theme music were just so much fun.
171	*** Fans were said to have been humming along to the Fandango theme on the way out of the arena, and even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceLkyblTiA0 honking their cars]] to the tune of the theme song.
172	*** "Fandangoing" has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HGgvBfbohQ0 now]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svEsisevVVE&feature=player_embedded gone]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lbd_Xu2-vcQ viral]].
173	*** On the following week's Smackdown, Santino Marella demonstrated [[http://youtu.be/NnawCewfKQ0?t=1m44s his own take on Fandangoing]].
174	** Completely and Totally Accurate Sign of the Night: "IF CENA WINS, WE COMPLAIN ONLINE."
175	** [[http://youtu.be/v5YnUxAgnog?t=4m22s Fandango insisting his name be pronounced properly even though he just got completely wrecked by Chris Jericho.]]
176	* On the 5/27/13 episode of Raw, Chris Jericho interviewed Paul Heyman and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKzNaZuEflQ got a little tired of his ranting about how great CM Punk is]].
177	** Jericho and Heyman would match wits again the following week, when they signed the contract for Jericho to fight CM Punk at Payback. [[http://youtu.be/uIc0p7cqqHo?t=3m19s And that's when things got weird.]]
178	* On the 10/21/13 episode, Renee Young would ask Paul Heyman how he felt about the fact that he was being forced to compete in a Hell in a Cell match against CM Punk later that week. Heyman responded with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EscFy7mX2Iw a promo that makes one wonder whether he'd been digging through the Ultimate Warrior's medicine cabinet.]]
179	* On the 11/11/13 episode, which took place in Manchester, UK, what would have otherwise been an ordinary 3-on-3 Tag Match became absolute hilarity. It started with Los Matadores coming out in their usual fashion with El Torito. But then the hilarity started when their partner, Wrestling/SantinoMarella, came out wearing bull horns. And then the hilarity got turned up to eleven when their opponents, "The Union Jacks," were announced... which was really [[CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown 3MB dressed up in tights and jackets emblazoned with the Union Jack.]] The match is just full of hilarious moments, such as Santino "goring" Wrestling/HeathSlater, El Torito style, then winning the match by hitting Jinder Mahal with the Cobra. (which ''also'' had bull horns.) And then Santino joins the post-match "bullfight" with El Torito and Los Matadores. If there was a Slammy for "Most Hilarious Match," this would definitely be a finalist, if not an outright winner.

182	[[folder:2014]]
183	* On the 3/3/14 episode, it was being filmed in Chicago. Wrestling/CMPunk hadn't been in action since the Royal Rumble, in January. The WWE Universe kept chanting his name, and a movement called [=#HijackRAW=] was going on. So, what does WWE do? Well, to start it off, they played CM Punk's entrance theme... only to have ''Paul Heyman'' come out. He then delivered a "pipebomb," and then proceeded to advertise his client, Brock Lesnar, who is fighting the Undertaker at [=WrestleMania=] XXX. Then, they used the words "Hijack RAW" to advertise Daniel Bryan, and ''the fans got behind him,'' seeming to not realize they used the movement against them.
184	** On an unrelated note, Dolph Ziggler entering the arena with Aaron Paul in a fancy car, mocking Alberto Del Rio's old ring entrance.
185	* April 7, 2014, the Monday after [=WrestleMania=] XXX and the Crowd gets to have their chants coming in once more. Highlights:
186	** The escalation of boos when Big E, Sheamus and Cena entering the ring for their 6-Men Tag Team Match against the Wyatt family (quiet for E, booing for Sheamus and then the crowd singing "John Cena Sucks" ''in time to Cena's own theme song'')
187	*** They then start saying [[BlackComedy "Bray is going to kill you!"]] to Big E just as Bray hits Sister Abigail.
188	** The crowd starts humming the Real Americans entrance theme, not unlike Fandango-ing last year.
189	** Speaking of Fandango-ing, they did start Fandango-ing when he came out.
190	** The crowd chanting "[[Wrestling/ThreeMB 3MB!]]" at Batista, Orton and Triple H.
191	** Someone had a sign that said "Dean Titty Master Ambrose." We saw this sign ''[[FunnyBackgroundEvent as the Shield was coming out.]]''
192	** At the start of the show, Daniel Bryan was celebrating his WWE World Heavyweight Championship win when he was interrupted by the Authority. Upon reaching the ring, Triple H climbs onto the apron and says he won't be getting in the ring. Cue Bryan telling him to hold on a minute, before taking both titles & walking up to Triple H, at which points he leads the crowd in "YES! YES! YES!" chant whilst raising the belts in the Authority's faces.
193	*** When the crowd is chanting Bryan's name, he says "You guys never get tired do you." Cue BigNo.
194	* April 21, 2014.
195	** The WWE App features a vote for John Cena's opponent later in the night - Wrestling/LukeHarper, Luke Harper & Wrestling/ErickRowan, or [[Wrestling/TheWyattFamily all three Wyatts]]. Over half the vote went to the entire Wyatt Family, and Cena's expression immediately fell, almost like a non-verbal "Oh, you ''fucks''..." - the moment it happens is absolutely hilarious if you don't care for Cena.
196	*** And then during the match, Cena is beaten so badly that at one point Bray picks Cena's prone body up & begins waltzing.
197	* April 28, 2014
198	** Creator/HughJackman is a special guest to promote the new X-men movie "Days of Future Past". He and Dolph Ziggler bury the hatchet from two years prior. Then, Wrestling/DamienSandow comes out dressed as Magneto and attempts to use "the power of magnetism" on them. He is clotheslined by both of them. Jerry Lawler quips, "I guess the power of magnetism is no match for the power of gravity!"
199	** Paul Heyman comes out to introduce Cesaro and is greeted by a chorus of boos. In response, he seemingly breaks character, reverting to his natural accent and talking about how his kids think he's funny, and offers to tell the audience a joke...
200	---> '''Paul Heyman:''' "Knock knock!"
201	---> '''The audience:''' "Who's there?"
202	---> '''Paul Heyman:''' "Mike!"
203	---> '''The audience:''' "Mike who?"
204	---> '''Paul Heyman: ''' "Mike...LIENT BROCK LESNAR CONQUERED THE UNDERTAKER'S UNDEFEATED STREAK AT WRESTLEMANIA! My client... you get it? Mike-lient, Brock... [=WrestleMania=]... (taps the mic) is this thing on?"
205	* May 5, 2014
206	** A typical promo with Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger gets interrupted by Wrestling/AdamRose and his group of weirdos. Zeb's "what the hell am I looking at" face is downright hilarious.
207	* May 12, 2014
208	** The announcers freaking out over Layla and Fandango making out.
209	* August 4th, 2014
210	** Dean Ambrose comes out during Seth Rollins' Beat The Clock Challenge match. Instead of directly interfering in the match, however, he just hovers around ringside, being a constant distraction to Rollins. Ambrose even goes as far as to mess around with Rollins' Money In The Bank briefcase, opening it up, taking out the contract inside, tearing it up, then filling the briefcase with soda, popcorn, and Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield's hat. Rollins is so fed up at this that he ends up losing his match against ''Wrestling/HeathSlater'' of all people.
211	* August 18th, 2014
212	** A bit of background - at the time of broadcast, a charity drive that saw celebrities dumping buckets of ice-cold water over their head had recently gone viral. Seth Rollins was giving an interview about his victory at the previous night's Summerslam when suddenly a bucket of ice water tipped over his head - the camera panned to reveal the culprit was none other than his opponent from that match: Dean Ambrose.
213	-->'''Dean Ambrose''': ''(Before attacking Seth with the bucket)'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reJblljv5p4 "What? It's for charity!"]]
214	* September 29, 2014
215	** One segment has Dean Ambrose coming to the ring with Seth Rollins' Money In The Bank briefcase (he stole during Smackdown) & a duffel bag full of t-shirts he stole from the merchandise stand. This was comedy gold from start to finish, highlights include...
216	*** Him trying to hock the stolen memorabilia and then deciding just to throw it all to the audience.
217	*** His sarcastic reaction to security (Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury), referring to them as the Cruiserweight division & saying that he saw some of them as Rosebuds last week.
218	*** Rollins opening his briefcase only for to find it's booby trapped with a dye pack.
219	--> '''Dean Ambrose''': [[BlatantLies "I had nothing to do with that I swear, I'm sorry!"]] (RUNS OFF)
220	** And the '''vibrating''' briefcase that apparently had something in it that, according to Ambrose, Rollins certainly didn't want us to see.
221	--> '''Seth Rollins''': [[BlatantLies "It's an electric razor!"]]
222	*** Not to mention the comment from Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon right before that: "It's not MINE..."
223	* October 6, 2014: A 3-on-1 handicap match between The Authority's Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, and Kane versus John Cena is unexpectedly interrupted by Dean Ambrose, who enters the arena with a hotdog wagon. Notable moments include:
224	** Ambrose confronting Kane and Orton, then dousing them with ketchup and mustard.
225	*** Especially since he has the ketchup and mustard bottles in holsters like they were sixshooters.
226	** When Ambrose finally gets his hands on Rollins, he does so while dumping sauerkraut, hotdog buns, and mustard all over him. Ambrose caps it off with the tongs to Rollins' groin.
227	** Randy Orton trying not to be seen ''eating one of the hot dogs that Dean threw and landed on the floor''.
228	* November 24, 2014: Daniel Bryan comes back to take over the show for the night after The Authority lost their traditional match at Survivor Series, setting up some very silly scenarios:
229	** Seth Rollins is given the chance to face John Cena and Dolph Ziggler in a 3 on 2 handicap match with the fans picking Rollins' support. The first two choices involve Mark Henry teaming up with other big guys...and the third is Mercury and Noble. That choice got over ''90%'' of the votes.
230	** Rusev having to choose between him and Lana reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to a gigantic American flag, or facing ''everyone'' in the ring for the US Title. He chooses the ''former'' and is reprimanded by Wrestling/SgtSlaughter when they refuse to recite it!
231	** Kane being demoted to Director of Food and Drink, which takes on some very unfortunate implications when Ryback meets him at a concession stand late in the show...
232	** The final match of the night is the 3 on 2 handicap match. Cena and Ziggler ultimately win by double-pinning the Goon Squad with their finishers, only to be interrupted by that one sound: '''DO-DO-DINK!''' Yes, the Anonymous Raw General Manager angle is back for at least one week, and the WWE pulled back out all the stops on this one: the podium and laptop are back, the lights flicker, Michael Cole asks the crowd to have their attention, '''''and he quotes!''''' And once the crowd's done giving their nuclear heat towards the ARGM (and a lesser extent, Cole), the sound does not stop playing and lights do not stop flickering, leaving Cena in the ring with this wonderful "What is going on?!" expression and Cole mouthing out "I can't stop it!"
233	*** Jerry Lawler and JBL's reactions are priceless as well: Lawler slowly breaks down into a double {{facepalm}} onto the announce table, and JBL throws his pencil as if to say "I'm done" before joining Lawler in the facepalming.
234	[[/folder]]

236	[[folder:2015]]
237	* January 12, 2015: Wrestling/DeanAmbrose and the psychologist. Really, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1Avx7WCYiw it's worth a watch]].
238	** The "first word that comes to mind" segment in particular stands out for Dean's remarks:
239	--->'''Dean''': ''(to a picture of Wrestling/TripleH)'' Irritable Bowel Syndrome.\
240	''(to a picture of Wrestling/SethRollins)'' Scumbag.\
241	''(to a picture of Wrestling/RomanReigns)'' Brotha! ''(the psychologist remarks that they managed to get somewhere this time)''\
242	''(to a picture of Kane)'' Toothpaste.\
243	''(to a picture of Wrestling/HacksawJimDuggan)'' HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!\
244	''(to a picture of Stephanie [=McMahon=])'' HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
245	* January 19, 2015: The Ascension try to disrespect Wrestling/NewWorldOrder (consisting of Wrestling/ScottHall, Wrestling/KevinNash, and Wrestling/SeanWaltman), only for a ProperlyParanoid Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield to reveal he'd called Wrestling/RonSimmons in advance expecting this. Then Wrestling/TheNewAgeOutlaws show up to further stack the deck against Konnor and Viktor, with Road Dogg remarking that he knew who was in charge of the Raw Reunion's "Old School Party" (and, by extension, invited the New World Order and the Acolyte Protection Agency, who Road Dogg compared to "thoroughbreds and race horses"). As for Konnor and Viktor's presence?
246	--->'''Road Dogg''': Who invited the jackasses?! ''(cue beatdown of The Ascension)''
247	* January 26, 2015 : The mega-blizzard forced that night's broadcast to be postponed. So, among other things, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShB4KInqW4Y JBL channeled his inner Al Roker]] and did a weather report on the roof of the WWE headquarters in Connecticut.
248	** Seth Rollins declaring that if Brock Lesnar's up for interview next, he's not leaving. When Brock arrives, Seth quickly scurried away.
249	** Dean Ambrose [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-tauitPDbo walking throught the blizzard]] to WWE Headquarters. ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext, and is hilarious.
250	* March 2, 2015: Wrestling/TheMiz debuts "his" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAqEsDdjqO4 new commercial]] for "Niagara."
251	** Wrestling/JohnCena, after being refused a match with Rusev, attempts to throw his name into the ring for the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale. Wrestlimg/StephanieMcMahon comes out, calls out Cena on his belief that he's simply owed a [=WrestleMania=] match, before making the point that Cena's not bigger than the company & quite frankly, maybe Cena should sit 'Mania out this year - cue the crowd starting a "YES! YES! YES!" chant at that prospect.
252	** Pretty much everything involving Creator/JonStewart and his appearance to confront Seth Rollins, ultimately culminating in [[GroinAttack Stewart kicking Seth in the balls]] after Randy Orton's entrance caused a distraction. Stewart follows this up by celebrating up the ramp as if he had just won a [=WrestleMania=] match.
253	*** ...And his celebrating includes taking his jacket off and spinning it over his head like a frat boy at a party.
254	* March 23, 2015: During the tense staredown between Wrestling/BrockLesnar and Wrestling/RomanReigns, Lesnar taunts Reigns with his championship belt, prompting Reigns to grab it out of his hands. Which he does. The final moments of that RAW are spent focusing on [[{{Narm}} Lesnar and Reigns fighting over the belt like kids fighting over a toy.]] Especially funny considering how thick with tension their last few meetings were.
255	* May 4, 2015: Wrestling/SamiZayn makes his RAW debut in a match against John Cena...and his name trends on Twitter for the first time, confusing many Music/OneDirection fans who thought the trend was about recently departed member Zayn Malik (given that this was the first time ever a "Zayn"-related trend had nothing to do with Malik). This confusion kept his name trending hours after the match ended.
256	* June 8, 2015: As the contenders of the upcoming Wrestling/MoneyInTheBank match[[note]]Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus, Kofi Kingston, Roman Reigns, Kane, Neville and Randy Orton[[/note]] gather in the ring, the next one to come out is R-Truth who, after informing everyone that he's conquered his fear of heights since [=WrestleMania=], starts to talk about what he's going to do at Money In The Bank, only to be informed by a perplexed Kane that he ''isn't'' in the match. A sheepish Truth quickly apologizes and heads back in, while Reigns and Ziggler laugh.
257	* August 10, 2015: Went slightly unnoticed during the tense Ambrose/Harper match, but during which Bray Wyatt took commentator Byron Saxton's chair, forcing him to stand through the match. A small part of the crowd eventually started chanting "Sit down, Byron!" which leads to this:
258	-->'''Crowd:''' ''"Sit down, Byron!"''
259	-->'''Jerry "The King" Lawler:''' ''(Chuckles)'' Yeah, Byron. Sit down.
260	-->''(Wyatt turns to Byron, smirking)''
261	-->'''Saxton:''' ...I'm good, thank you.
262	** ...And it happens again a week later, this time instigated by Wrestling/DeanAmbrose.

265	[[folder:2016]]
266	* January 25, 2016: Music/FloRida has a rap battle with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnM_jhN_LkQ Bo Rida]].
267	* July 4. 2016: In celebration of Independence Day, Raw begins with a feast featuring superstars, that eventually devolves into a massive food fight. Highlights include:
268	** [[Wrestling/{{Goldust}} Golden]] [[Wrestling/RonKillings Truth]] doing karaoke that is interrupted by The Vaudevillains, who decide to sing the Declaration of Independence.
269	** [[Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli Cesaro]] and Apollo Crews arm wrestling through the food fight, completely unflinching to the food flying around them.
270	** Wrestling/BoDallas trying to pour punch on Enzo Amore. Big Cass notices and casually tips it over Bo's head.
271	** Wrestling/ChrisJericho not getting involved until he discovers a used bandage in his food, which sends him into an UnstoppableRage.
272	** Wrestling/KevinOwens hiding under the table through the fight, before coming out and coming out, commenting on how "this never would've happened on Canada Day" and receiving a pie in the face for his troubles.
273	*** In the years since this has become subject to MemeticMutation as "Who pied Owens in the face?" is treated by fans as one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in wrestling history.
274	[[/folder]]
275
276	[[folder:2017]]
277	* January 23, 2017: During Goldberg's entrance, one eager fan tears his shirt open on camera.
278	* The ''Raw'' after ''Wrestling/WrestleMania'' provided quite a few:
279	** Wrestling/RomanReigns opened the show -- [[{{Understatement}} to the most hostile crowd in recent memory]]. They chanted just about everything they could at him, from "Roman sucks" to "[[Wrestling/MattHardy Delete]]" to "Shut the [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] up!" (Keep in mind that Roman hadn't even said anything at that point) to "[[XPacHeat go away]]". And every time he lifted the microphone to talk, the crowd drowned him out in a chorus of boos.
280	** Wrestling/VinceMcMahon made an appearance to appoint a new general manager for ''Raw'', since Wrestling/MickFoley had been fired a few weeks prior. He also mentioned [[Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon his daughter]] going through a table the night before, complete with footage -- but every time he brought it up, [[NoSympathy the crowd cheered.]]
281	*** Then he was about to introduce the new GM...only to be interrupted by none other than ''Wrestling/TeddyLong''. Vince had to order the sound guys to cut the music, then order Teddy to stop dancing to tell him that it wasn't him. You could tell the poor guy was dejected before he headed back.
282	*** And then Vince tried to call out his new GM. But it took him three tries to do it, because he wouldn't come out until he was called by name. As for who it was, see the Awesome moments page.
283	** Wrestling/TheNewDay pulled a ShoutOut to Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors that only they could pull off: by having Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston wearing shoulder pads in pastel colors with ice cream cones for spikes. Corey Graves even called them the "Legion of Dumb."
284	** Also, the scenes in the General Manager's office, first with Wrestling/EnzoAndCass and then with Wrestling/SamiZayn and Wrestling/JinderMahal, were gold. You could tell poor [[Wrestling/KurtAngle Kurt]] was wondering if he was the OnlySaneMan in the entire building.
285	** The Beachball returns, and even Michael Cole notes it, during the match between Mustafa Ali and Neville. The crowd starts chanting, "Beachball Mania!" and [[Wrestling/{{Bayley}} "Ayy, we want some beachball!"]]. One collection of Best Chants and Pops states it as Beachball makes wonderful return.
286	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAmUC4AGbsk The May 1 episode]] featured Intercontinental Champion Wrestling/DeanAmbrose doing backstage interviews with the three men vying for his title in the main event Triple Threat Match. Throughout the evening viewers were treated to:
287	** Dean annoying Wrestling/TheMiz in general.
288	** Dean signing off after a tense interview with Wrestling/SethRollins with "[[MoodWhiplash Back to you]], [[Wrestling/GorillaMonsoon Gorilla!]]"
289	*** Also, talking about how he's getting pretty good at interviewing, and running potential names for an interview show by Seth, including ''[[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Dishing the Dirty Daily With Dirty Dean Ambrose]]'', ''[[Series/{{Today}} The Today Show]]'', and ''[[Series/TheDailyShowWithTrevorNoah The Daily Show]]'', with Seth's attempts to tell him that the last two are already shows falling on deaf ears (even when Seth notes he was actually on ''The Daily Show''). Then they both become [[ThirdPersonPerson Third Person Persons]].
290	** Dean offering Wrestling/FinnBalor a donut. "For the love of God, man, eat a carb!"
291	** ''[[DreadfulMusician Elias Samson]]'' of all people showing up, followed by Dean requesting he play a Pearl Jam tune.
292	* November 19th, 2017: During a promo with Wrestling/BrockLesnar and Wrestling/PaulHeyman, a fan's wedding proposal causes Paul Heyman to stop what he's saying, for Paul Heyman to declare that "She only said 'Yes' because she's never been near a beast like Brock Lesnar!"[[note]]This was completely adlibbed, the wedding proposal being a surprise to everyone in the building, especially the girl in question!
293	[[/folder]]
294
295	[[folder:2018]]
296	* April 9, 2018: The Raw after Wrestlemania once again, folks!
297	** The sheer amount of hatred Stephanie [=McMahon=] got when opening the show was so great it was practically comical. Chants ranged from "YOU DESERVE IT!" (in reference to being injured by Ronda Rousey), "SHUT THE FUCK UP!", and "YOU TAPPED OUT!". When Rousey came out and ''again'' applied her armbar to Stephanie, the crowd went '''insane'''.
298	** Braun and Nicholas have to relinquish the Tag Team Titles due to a scheduling conflict (due to the fact that Nicholas is a ''10-year-old kid'' and all). Nicholas adorably shouts that, when he returns, everyone is gonna "GET THESE HANDS!"
299	** Kevin Owens and Wrestling/SamiZayn show up looking for work. Wrestling/KurtAngle's response: "My roster is full....[[TakeThat but I hear TNA is hiring right now!]]"
300	** Jeff Hardy, Finn Balor and Seth Rollins walk down the hall and Jeff reunites with WOKEN Matt and gets an awkward hug from Bray. After Matt and Bray leave, it pans to the right...where Balor and Rollins are looking with "WTF did I just see?" faces as Jeff shrugs.
301	** When Elias is in the ring, the crowd chants "Ohh...walk with Elias!" and after Elias calls them scumbags, the crowd chants in response, "We are scumbags!"
302	* May 27, 2018: Memorial Day Raw
303	** The Memorial Day Barbecue with The B-Team (Wrestling/BoDallas and Wrestling/CurtisAxel). All other tag teams (Titus Worldwide, Wrestling/TheAscension, Wrestling/{{Breezango}}, Wrestling/HeathSlater and Wrestling/{{Rhyno}}) wanted a tag team title opportunity against Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt, and the B-Team simply concludes that they do deserve the opportunity...under one catch: They're taking the food back. Cue a massive food fight starting with Titus spilling baked beans on Dallas and Fandango messing with Axel's face with potato salad. [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Rhyno doesn't even care about the mess and he's enjoying his barbecue all along]].
304	[[/note]]
305	* October 1, 2018:
306	** Kevin Owens and Elias are having a segment in Seattle, and are mocking John Cena and Bobby Lashley teaming up. Then they [[BerserkButton mock the city's lack of basketball team]]. The crowd does not [[UnstoppableRage take it well]], to the point where they actually have to raise the microphone volume to be heard. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XigdA6kiLcE It must be seen to be believed]]
307	* December 17, 2018:
308	** Baron Corbin's HumiliationConga. After his loss on ''TLC'' 2018 yesterday, he decides to talk to the [=McMahon=] family to give him one more chance to be a permanent GM. [[TooDumbToLive After the [=McMahon=] family announce that they would take control of Raw and SmackDown LIVE.]] Good news is he was given a chance to beat Kurt Angle in a match with Heath Slater as guest referee. Bad news is, remember all those times Corbin [[MovingTheGoalposts "forgot" to mention a stipulation until mid-match]]? During the middle of this match, Triple H "remembers" that it's a 4-1 handicap match with Bobby Roode, Chad Gable and Apollo Crews, and to add insult to injury, Shane "remembers" that it's also a No Disqualification match, at which point even Heath joins in the fray. No second guesses who loses this match.
309	** On the same episode, after Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush are cut a promo against Elias and then Lashley starts doing his muscle poses, the lights go out and ring announcer [=JoJo=] Offerman says "Ladies and gentlemen, Elias." But instead of the usual routine where a light shines on Elias at the entrance, Elias is ''already there at the ring'' and clocks Lashley with his guitar at the moment [=JoJo=] announced his name. Meaning that [=JoJo=] had planned out Elias's attack with him, something that many fans found hilarious.

313	* April 22, 2019: Three words: Firefly Fun House. The sheer concept of Bray Wyatt as Mr. Rogers is just so surreal that it goes back into being hilarious at the end when Bray takes a chainsaw to a standee of his former gimmick.
314	* July 15, 2019: Proving that the 24/7 Championship has become the company's single best source of comedy, this episode featured a spot where [[Wrestling/RonKillings R-Truth]] won the title for the ninth time by pinning Drake Maverick in his hotel room ''while Maverick was wearing literally nothing but the title belt.'' While absolutely absurd on its own, the segment was immediately made a thousand times better by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_s73-GE3PaI Corey Graves' joke immediately afterwards]] ("He should've utilized the small package."), which was so unexpected and so perfectly-timed that it [[{{Corpsing}} flapped the unflappable Michael Cole and made Renee Young damn near lose it on national TV]].

317	[[folder:2020]]
318	* Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar come out to do a promo about Brock being in the Royal Rumble only for, of all people, R-Truth to come out and declare he is going to be in the Rumble. He then boldly states that even though he is facing a big... big... big man, he assures that he will send... Paul Heyman flying over the rope. Lesner LOSES it and begins laughing long and hard.
319	** When Heyman informs R-Truth that he isn't in the Rumble, Lesner is R-Truth declares "My bad" and instnatly de-declares for the Rumble. Brock again loses it.
320	*** R-Truth revealing in an interview this was all set up by Paul as part of a bet to see if they could get Brock to corpse. Paul won.
321	* March 16, 2020: Due to the widespread COVID-19 pandemic all of the WWE's shows had to be recorded in empty arenas. While the previous week's Smackdown showed how surreal this could look, several moments from this week's RAW showcased how hilarious this can be.
322	** Undertaker is scheduled to sign his [=WrestleMania=] match contract with AJ Styles. He rushes out to the ring looking more like Bikertaker than the Dead Man, way more Not Amused even than what's normal for Taker, then proceeds to flip over the table in the ring, with WWE almost ''immediately'' cutting to commercial as if there were technical difficulties.
323	** The only actual match taking place that night was between Rey Mysterio and Andrade, and was really nothing more than something to fill in dead air. So to make it more amusing, they bring in Asuka as a guest commentator...who fills in the role way too enthusiastically. Most of the match's commentary is her fangirling in random streams of Japanese, English, and broken Spanish [[note]]although this was most likely to cover up Mysterio and Andrade calling their spots[[/note]].
324	** Stone Cold Steve Austin got the final segment of the night, trying to promote 3:16 Day. [[https://twitter.com/LocalSoundwave/status/1239749787408367616 Seen here]], many have stated that it comes off less like a wrestling promo and more like an [[Series/TheEricAndreShow Eric Andre]] sketch.
