* And have made stars:
-->'''Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin:''' [[Wrestling/JakeRoberts You]] sit there and you thump your Bible, and you say your prayers, and it didn't get you ''anywhere!'' Talk about your psalms, talk about John 3:16... Austin 3:16 says "I just whipped your ass"!\\
'''Wrestling/TripleH:''' You guys talk about being students of the game. [[IAmTheNoun I AM]] [[PrecisionFStrike the fucking game]], JR!! There is nobody that eats, sleeps or breathes this business more than me!!!\\
'''[[Wrestling/RoddyPiper "Rowdy" Roddy Piper]]:''' Just when they think they got the answers, I change the questions! \\

''[[spoiler:Triple H]] pauses, spits out his gum, [[SlasherSmile smiles]] and says...''\\
'''[[spoiler:Triple H]]:''' You're damn right it was me, Shawn! You're DAMN. RIGHT.
*** Which had a Wham Response.
---->'''Shawn Michaels:''' But the doctors have told me that I'll make a full recovery. In fact, they said I'll be 100%. [[ThrowingOffTheDisability 100%]] [[MandatoryUnretirement by say...]] Wrestling/SummerSlam?

--->'''If ya smell! What [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]]! Is cookin'!'''
*** And said host then declares a challenge to the only one on his level:
----> '''[[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]]:''' There is one man who the Rock has to see face-to-face. A guy who I met. A guy who I thought was a cool guy. Wished him well, happy for his success. When the Rock leaves, he comes in and out of the blue, eventually, he starts talking trash about the Rock. I don't know why and I don't care but I'm back now. You might have heard of him; his name is [[spoiler:Wrestling/JohnCena]].
*** After Wrestling/{{WrestleMania}} 27, a Once in a Lifetime challenge:

* The second Summer of Punk begins...
-->'''Wrestling/CMPunk:''' [[RealLifeWritesThePlot July 17th is the day my contract with World Wrestling Entertainment comes to an end...]] That means when the clock strikes midnight and the 17th becomes the 18th, Sunday bleeds into Monday, I'm leaving.

** And in closing...
--->'''Wrestling/CMPunk:''' And I'd like to think that maybe [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} this company]] will be better off after Vince [=McMahon=]'s dead...
* A signal of the changing of the guard...
--> [[spoiler:'''Wrestling/TripleH''': I am here to inform you that, [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince]], you are relieved of your duties.]]
* ''Wrestling/NewYearsRevolution 2006''. John Cena survives the elimination chamber but...

* A champion demands respect...
-->'''[[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]]:''' [[CatchPhrase IF YOU SMELL]]...\\
'''Wrestling/ChrisJericho:''' NO! This is not a joke! ''I AM not a joke! I am serious. And you will not look past me, you stupid '''son of a [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]'''''!
* A battle for Best in the World [[ItsPersonal gets personal]].

I want to tell them that you're straight edge because '''[[DarkAndTroubledPast your father is an alcoholic!]]''' [[note]]For those who already knew Punk's past from Wrestling/RingOfHonor, this was a case of CanonImmigrant backstory going from a small CultClassic fed to a ''very'' global [[Wrestling/WrestleMania stage.]][[/note]]
* A new champion [[EvilAllAlong reveals his true motive]]:
-->'''[[Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys Bully Ray]]''': [[Wrestling/HulkHogan HULK]], I USED YOU! [[LoveMartyr BROOKE]], I '''SCREWED''' YOU! BUT MOST OF ALL, I FOOLED EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!

* The biggest rematch in Wrestling/WrestleMania history is set up...
-->'''Wrestling/TheUndertaker:''' If [[Wrestling/ShawnMichaels you]] beat me, you end the streak. But if I beat you...your career...is OVER!
* A voice of reason unites the family…
-->'''Linda [=McMahon=]:''' The only way to garner respect from people is not, Wrestling/{{Vince|McMahon}}, by yelling and screaming or, Wrestling/{{Steph|anieMcMahon}}, by pitching a fit. It's by taking action.\\
''Comforts [[Wrestling/JimRoss J.R.]] by the arm''\\
'''Linda [=McMahon=]:''' So [[ButtMonkey J.R.]], on the behalf of the entire [=McMahon=] family: ''[[spoiler:[[NeutralNoLonger you'rrreeee]] [[FaceHeelTurn fired!]]'']]\\
''[[spoiler:Kicks J.R. in the balls.]]''
* A sudden loss rocks the WWE family to its core:
-->'''Wrestling/VinceMcMahon''': Wrestling/EddieGuerrero has passed away.
* And of course, the one line that changed the face of the industry forever...
-->'''Wrestling/VinceMcMahon:''' Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Last night on ''Monday Night Raw'', the WWE presented a special tribute show, recognizing the career of Wrestling/ChrisBenoit. However, now some 26 hours later, the facts of this horrific tragedy are now apparent. Therefore, other than my comments, there will be [[UnPerson no mention of Mr. Benoit's name tonight.]] On the contrary, tonight's show will be dedicated to everyone who has been affected by this terrible incident. This evening marks the first step of the healing process. Tonight, WWE performers will do what they do better than anyone else in the world: entertain you.
* The Yes Movement changes the Game...
-->'''Daniel Bryan:'''[[note]]surrounded by almost a hundred fans inside and around the ring[[/note]] I'm sorry. I didn't um, I misspoke earlier. That's not exactly ''all'' that I want. Because as much as these people want to see me fight ''you'' at Wrestling/WrestleMania, what they really want to see is me fighting for the World Heavyweight Championship. So here is what we ''[[AudienceSurrogate really want]]''. If I beat you at [=WrestleMania=], [[spoiler:[[EarnYourHappyEnding I get added]] to the World Heavyweight Championship match so that then the main event [[MeleeATrois will be]] [[TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil Randy Orton vs. Batista vs. Daniel Bryan]]!!]]\\
Triple H, enraged, rushes down the ramp being held back by security.\\
'''Triple H:''' [[spoiler:[[VillainousBreakdown YOU WANT THAT? YOU GET ALL OF THIS! YOU GET ME, YOU GET YOUR DEAL!]]]]
** But the Authority has one last trick...
--->'''Triple H:''' There's gonna be a [[MeleeATrois Triple Threat Match]] at [=WrestleMania=]! [[spoiler:Daniel Bryan]] is not gonna be in it because he's not gonna get past [[HeroKiller me]]. But when [[TheHeroDies I beat]] [[spoiler:Daniel Bryan]], the Triple Threat Match [[EvilVersusEvil is gonna be]] Batista and Randy Orton — AND '''[[spoiler:[[Wrestling/{{Evolution}} ME!]]]]'''
* On April 6, 2014, at Wrestlemania 30, the unthinkable happened:
-->'''Wrestling/MichaelCole''': [[spoiler: The [[Wrestling/TheUndertaker Streak]]... [[HeroKiller is]] [[Wrestling/BrockLesnar over]]!]]
** This, in turn, leads to a big moment [[spoiler:for Wrestling/PaulHeyman]]:
--->'''Heyman''': [[spoiler:'''''[[BigOMG Oh my God! Oh my God!]]''''' ''[runs up to Lesnar]'' You beat it! You beat it! You did it! You did it! You did it! You beat him! You did it, Brock! You conquered the Streak! Brock, you did it! You did it! You did it, Brock! You did it!]]
** And for those who didn't hear it the first time...
--->'''Announcer''': Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match... [[spoiler:Brock Lesnar!]]
*** And just to hammer it in... in ''Monday Night Raw'':
----> '''Heyman''': [[spoiler:Brock Lesnar]] [[YouPutTheXInXY is the 1 in 21-1!]]
* A shocking face/heel turn, and the genesis of a legendary WWE event:
-->'''Andre the Giant:''' I am here for one reason. [[FaceHeelTurn To challenge]] [[Wrestling/HulkHogan you]] to a world championship match at [=WrestleMania=].
** And Hogan's response:
--->'''Hulk Hogan:''' YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* In the wake of a battle won, the war takes a new turn:
-->'''Wrestling/TripleH''': There's always a Plan B.\\
''[[[spoiler:Wrestling/SethRollins]] takes the chair he was holding and starts beating the crap out of [[spoiler: Reigns and Ambrose]], [[FaceHeelTurn his own teammates]]]''
* A long, bloody reign finally comes to an end:
-->'''Announcer''': The winner of this match, and ''new'' Divas' Champion... Wrestling/{{Paige}}!
* What was supposed to be a celebration of commitment turns into a nightmare:
--> '''Minister[[spoiler: Wrestling/EricBischoff]]''': Did I just hear myself say... [[spoiler:THREE MINUTES?!]][[note]]Saying those words was how [[spoiler:Bischoff]] summoned Three Minute Warning, a pair of wrestlers who beat down anyone who failed to entertain him quickly enough.[[/note]]
* Weeks of waiting end, and Kane has a very bad night:
-->'''[[spoiler:Wrestling/BrayWyatt]]''': ''(lights a lantern)'' [[Wrestling/TheWyattFamily We're]] here. ''([[EvilIsNotWellLit blows the lantern out]])''
* Survivor Series 2014. The [[Wrestling/JohnCena hero]] had fallen. The people's final hope for a [[Wrestling/DolphZiggler saviour]] appeared futile in the face of the [[Wrestling/TripleH tyrant]] and his sinister [[Wrestling/SethRollins disciple]]. All was lost... then ''[[BigDamnHeroes he]]'' appeared.
--> '''Michael Cole''': [[spoiler: IT'S Wrestling/{{STING}}! [[CueTheFlyingPigs Stinger's here!]]]]
* The first-ever [[Wrestling/EdgeWrestler Cutting Edge]] [[Wrestling/{{Christian}} Peep Show]] takes a dark and dangerous turn:
--> [[spoiler:'''Wrestling/SethRollins''':]] [[spoiler:Wrestling/{{John|Cena}},]] I didn't want it to come to this. But if you're not gonna come out here, then you are forcing my hand! And in turn, [[spoiler:John,]] you leave me no choice but to force yours.
** And even when demands are met...
---> [[spoiler:'''Wrestling/SethRollins''':]] Thank you, [[spoiler:John]]! Thank you! But ''damn'', you gotta know me better than that. I'm gonna [[ForTheEvulz kill]] [[Wrestling/EdgeWrestler him]] anyway.
* [=WrestleMania=] 31: At the climax of a war, the opportunist seizes his moment.
--> '''Lillian Garcia''': [[spoiler: Ladies and gentlemen, Wrestling/SethRollins is cashing in his Money in the Bank contract, therefore this will now be a Triple Threat match!]]
* The boss makes a shocking announcement for the 2016 Royal Rumble event:
-->'''Wrestling/VinceMcMahon''': It'll be [[Wrestling/RomanReigns you]] defending your championship against [[spoiler:29 other men in the Royal Rumble match!]]
** Later in the actual Royal Rumble Match, unfamiliar music plays and the Titantron shows three words that sends the audience over the deep end and causes numerous fans watching around the world to mark out.
--->'''Titantron''': [[spoiler:I am...''[[Wrestling/AJStyles Phenomenal]]''.]]
* A once-heroic figure takes the last step over the line:
-->'''[[Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} Kevin Condron]]''': I guess I'll have to do it[[note]]kill Orbit Adventure Ant[[/note]] myself.
* The Heir Apparent lays claim to a legacy.
-->''*Stephanie is about to accept the Vincent J. [=McMahon=] [[CosmeticAward Legacy of Excellence award]] but is cut off [[TheBusCameBack by:]]*''\\
[[spoiler:'''[[Wrestling/ShaneMcMahon HERE COMES THE MONEY!!]]''']]
* Money in the Bank 2016: Two years after a tragic betrayal, [[BestServedCold the ultimate payback]].
-->'''Lillian Garcia''': ''*As [[spoiler:Seth Rollins]] lays out prone on the canvas*'' [[spoiler:Ladies and gentlemen, Wrestling/DeanAmbrose is cashing in his Money in the Bank Contract!]]
* After claiming eternal loyalty, the viper strikes.
-->'''Wrestling/RandyOrton''': So here I am, dead center in the kingdom...a place where the devil sings your praises. This is your world, [[Wrestling/BrayWyatt Bray]]...but it's not mine! It never was! I once said, "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em." But I have another expression for you, Bray. Once you join 'em, and it's the right time...'''SCREW 'EM!''' ''*proceeds to burn down the Wyatt Family Compound*''
* The so-called "Festival of Friendship" turns out to be one of the biggest destruction of said friendship...
-->'''Wrestling/ChrisJericho''': ''(opens his gift)'' A new list! It's great! I mean, the other one's getting beat up and it's getting full, and...how come my name's on this?\\
''[he holds it up so we can all see it says "The List of '''KO'''", [[OhCrap then it dawns on him]] right before Owens' NoHoldsBarredBeatdown ensues]''
* After weeks of accusations and pointing fingers, the real culprit of the attacks on [[Wrestling/EnzoAndCass Enzo Amore]] is revealed
-->[[spoiler: '''Big Cass''': YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I DID IT!]]
* After weeks of taunting, Wrestling/TheMiz thinks he's got it all figured out, but [[Wrestling/RomanReigns The Big Dog]] is quick to correct him.
--> '''Wrestling/TheMiz''': The rumors of Wrestling/TheShield reuniting are exactly what you are: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis nothing. but. hype!]]\\
'''Wrestling/RomanReigns''': Who said anything about rumors?\\
''[[[spoiler:cue Wrestling/DeanAmbrose and Wrestling/SethRollins joining him on stage and a MassOhCrap from everyone in the ring]]]''
* Sanity, the Authors of Pain (with Roderick Strong) and Wrestling/TheUndisputedEra had been tearing each other for months since the latter team debut. To put an end to all this chaos, [=NXT=] General Manager William Regal decided to put all three teams in a triple threat tag team match at ''[=TakeOver=]: Houston'' in a match that hadn't been seen since the fall of WCW.
-->'''Wrestling/WilliamRegal''': At ''[=TakeOver=]: Houston'', these three teams will be in two rings. In one cage. In [=WARGAMES=]!
* A comeback thought impossible become a reality:
-->'''Daniel Bryan:''' For the past two months, I asked WWE to re-look at my case and they sent me to the best neurologists all over the country. And all of these neurologists, every specialist, every doctor that I seen has said the same thing and it is this: '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis You.]] [[BackInTheSaddle Are.]] [[HesBack Cleared.]]'''
* It's Monday Night Raw in 2018, and Wrestling/RomanReigns- the reigning WWE champion, and possibly the most hated wrestler in the entire company due to the string of increasingly controversial decisions regarding how he was pushed- walks into the ring carrying his championship belt. But he's not wearing his usual costume, and he seems unusually subdued. Up until this point, the crowd has been engaged in their now-familiar chorus of boos for Roman... but what he says inside the ring not only stops the boos, but momentarily causes the crowd to fall ''dead silent'' with shock.
-->'''Roman Reigns:''' My real name is Joe... and I've been living with leukemia for eleven years. [[spoiler:And unfortunately, it's back. And because the leukemia is back, I cannot fulfill my role, and I'm gonna have to relinquish the universal championship.]]
* A mystery solved.
-->'''Wrestling/AleisterBlack:''' ''(shaking Wrestling/WilliamRegal)'' ''Where is he?! WHERE IS HE?!! WHHEEREE IS HE??!! YOU TELL ME WHERE HE IS!!!''\\
Suddenly, Black gets superkicked by...\\
[[spoiler:'''Wrestling/JohnnyGargano:''' ''[[FaceHeelTurn I'm right here.]]'']]
* An old frenemy reappears with a vengeance:
-->[[spoiler:'''Wrestling/{{Batista}}''' ''(over a beaten up, lifeless Wrestling/RicFlair):'' Hey Hunter. Do I have your attention now?]]
* A champion makes [[DudeWheresMyRespect her true feelings]] known:
-->'''Creator/RondaRousey:''' You know what, I did everything I could to respect this business! I worked my ass off and exceeded every expectation! I poured my heart out and sacrificed my body for your entertainment, and what did you do, huh? You booed me out of the Staples Center in Los Angeles, my home! You chant for Wrestling/{{Becky|Lynch}} while I'm out here working my ass off trying to entertain you! You know what? No! I'm done pretending! I'm no longer here to entertain you! I would break Wrestling/{{Charlotte|Flair}} and Becky's nose as if I so much sneeze in their direction and you know it! No! I'm not your dancing monkey! Not anymore! Damn your fantasies, Damn [[Wrestling/BeckyLynch the man]], screw the [[Wrestling/CharlotteFlair woos]], and [[FaceHeelTurn no more Mrs. Nice]] [[PrecisionFStrike Bitch]]! *Attacks both Charlotte and Becky*
* One of the most important lines in the entire ''history'' of pro wrestling:
-->'''Vince [=McMahon=]:''' [[Wrestling/MontrealScrewjob Ring the fucking bell]]!
** Which, direct or not, was a contributing factor to this 18 months later:
--->'''Wrestling/JimRoss:''' Here at, uh...in Kansas City, uh...tragedy befell the World Wrestling Federation and all of us...Wrestling/OwenHart was, uh...set to make an entrance from the ceiling, and uh...he fell from the ceiling. And, I have the unfortunate responsibility...I want to let everyone know that Owen Hart has died. Owen Hart has tragically died from that accident here tonight.'
* Xavier Woods and Big E from Wrestling/TheNewDay are battling in a tag gauntlet match to earn Wrestling/KofiKingston a WWE Championship match at Wrestling/WrestleMania. They've battled through The Good Brothers, Rusev & Wrestling/ShinsukeNakamura, and The Bar. At this point they're exhausted, but they still have to face Wrestling/TheUsos, longtime rivals. Jimmy and Jey come out, and look ready to go at it. However, they instead get a microphone and begin talking about the wars they had and the respect they have for The New Day and Kofi. Then they show where they truly stand:
-->'''Jey Uso''': So with that being said......Yo New Day! Good luck, uce! [[spoiler: Cuz we forfeit!]]
* A champion wins her title back and decides to [[ThenLetMeBeEvil stop pretending to be nice]].
-->[[spoiler:'''Wrestling/{{Bayley}}:''']] Hey [[PrecisionFStrike bitches]], screw all of you!
* A world champion drops a major announcement regarding his career:
-->'''Wrestling/{{Edge|Wrestler}}''': I passed strength tests, and all of those things and I made it through Wrestling/WrestleMania... but the WWE wanted me to get more tests, and, thankfully, I did... because the MRI showed that, uh... [[spoiler: that I have to retire.]]
* A seemingly innocuous episode of WWE Backstage is suddenly interrupted by a special guest, whose theme song signals the return of a star no one ever thought would come back.
-->'''Speakers''': *static noises, followed by a familiar guitar riff* [[spoiler:''[[CueTheFlyingPigs Look in my eyes, what do you see?]] [[Music/LivingColour The cult of personality]].'']] *Followed by [[spoiler:''Wrestling/CMPunk'' [[HesBack coming through the doors]].]]*
* In the build to the 2020 Wrestling/RoyalRumble, a champion decides to make his own opportunity after dominating both brands.
--> '''Wrestling/PaulHeyman''': Wrestling/BrockLesnar [[note]] the reigning WWE Champion [[/note]] hereby ''enters'' the Royal Rumble... FIRST
* Then, in the actual men's Rumble match, much like the Daniel Bryan example above. The clock starts to count down for the 21st contestant, the buzzer sounds, and a return thought impossible is made reality when a familiar sound not heard in nine years heralds the return of an Ultimate Opportunist:
-->'''[buzz]'''\\
[[Wrestling/EdgeWrestler "You think you know me..."]]
* A champion [[PassingTheTorch passes the torch]] to their most WorthyOpponent, and then explains why:
-->(''Wrestling/BeckyLynch relinquishes her Raw Women's Championship to [[spoiler:[[Wrestling/KanakoUrai Asuka]]]], and she celebrates for a minute straight.'')\\
'''Lynch''': You are the champion. Now, as happy as you are to be the champion, I might be a little bit happier. So, you go and be a warrior, 'cuz I'm gonna go... [[spoiler:be a mother.]]
* A former champion makes his intentions known, but he hasn't come alone:
-->'''Wrestling/RomanReigns''': I'll tell you right now, I'll be at ''Payback'' on Sunday. That is a promise. I will be in the triple threat match, wreck everyone and leave -- ''that'' is a guarantee. And I will win back my Universal Championship that I never lost in the first place -- [[spoiler:[[BorrowedCatchphrase that is not just a prediction... that's a spoiler.]]]]\\
(''The camera pans over to reveal [[spoiler:Wrestling/PaulHeyman sitting next to Roman]]'')\\
[[spoiler:'''Wrestling/PaulHeyman''': ''Believe. THAT.'']]
* When Winter Comes, an unexpected door opens, linking two companies together for the first time, after Wrestling/KennyOmega [[spoiler:screws Wrestling/JonMoxley out of the AEW Championship...]]
-->'''Alex Marvez:''' Kenny? [[spoiler:Wrestling/{{Don|Callis}}?]] What did you just do? What's going on? What the hell's going on here?!
-->[[spoiler:'''Wrestling/DonCallis:''']] You'll find out this Tuesday night!
-->'''Marvez:''' Tuesday?! ''Dynamite''[='=]s on Wednesday!
-->[[spoiler:'''Callis:''' This Tuesday, '''''Wrestling/ImpactWrestling''''' on Creator/{{AXS TV}}, Me and Kenny will tell you all about it, Marvez!]]
* The fans [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg (and Hiroshi Tanahashi)]] took to calling an ''Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling'' and ''Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling'' partnership as the Forbidden Door that would never be opened. Then [[CuetheFlyingPigs KENTA jumps Jon Moxley during an episode of Dynamite]] leading to all the wrestlers in both companies saying that ''the Forbidden Door has opened!''
* As Wrestling/ChrisJericho and the Wrestling/InnerCircle has Wrestling/{{MJF}} cornered for planning to usurp Jericho as the leader of the group:
-->'''Maxwell Jacob Friedman:''' I didn't want to take over your group (Chris Jericho's Inner Circle), I swear, man, I swear... [[spoiler:[[StartMyOwn because I was too busy building]] [[Wrestling/ThePinnacle my own]].]]
* At the 1990 ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries'', [[Wrestling/TedDiBiase a man of wealth and taste]] makes history without knowing it.
--> '''Ted''': Accompanied by his manager Brother Love, I present to you... Wrestling/TheUndertaker!
* At ''Wrestling/WrestleMania 38'', [[Wrestling/SethRollins Seth "Freakin'" Rollins]] awaits his surprise opponent
-->'''Speakers:''' *beat* *beat* ''[[spoiler:[[TheBusCameBack Wrestling has more than]] [[Wrestling/CodyRhodes one royal family.]]]]''
* The ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw Raw]]'' after the 2022 ''Wrestling/HellInACell'' was supposed to be the coronation of Wrestling/TheJudgmentDay's [[Wrestling/FergalDevitt fourth member]], but alas it wasn't. As Damian Priest put it:
-->'''Damian Priest:''' We realized that...in the short time with [[Wrestling/EdgeWrestler you]], you've taught to "get rid of any limitation that was holding us back". We're ready. We are ready to shed the last bit of limitations holding us back... [[spoiler:''(turns to Edge)'' which is you.]]\\
''(Edge stares at Damian, [[EtTuBrute realizes what the Archer has said]], before the New Judgment Day deliver a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on the Rated-R Superstar)''
* At ''Bash at the Beach 1996'', the announcers witness the most shocking betrayal ever performed in professional wrestling:
-->'''Wrestling/TonySchiavone:''' Wrestling/HulkHogan arrives... ''(witnesses Hogan leg drop Wrestling/RandySavage, thus betraying his true intentions)'' ho-ho-ho-Oh my God!
-->'''Wrestling/DustyRhodes:''' What is happening? [[spoiler:Is he the third man?]] What the hell's going on here?
-->[[spoiler:'''Bobby Heenan:''' He's the third man! Hulk Hogan has betrayed WCW!]]
** At Nitro 11/18/96, Wrestling/RoddyPiper arrives to expose Wrestling/EricBischoff on where he really stands.
-->'''Roddy Piper:''' When you come up to my ranch, so tell me... [[ArmorPiercingQuestion was the road crooked or the road is straight]]? Is the road crooked or--
-->'''Eric Bischoff:''' [[BlatantLies I-I don't remember]].
-->'''Roddy Piper:''' Tell me something... ''(grabs Bischoff by the collar)'' You little [[PrecisionFStrike piece of shit]], you are-- ''(he gets grabbed by The Giant along with the rest of the New World Order before Hogan comes to the ring and [[spoiler:hugs Eric Bischoff]])''
-->[[spoiler: '''Hollywood Hulk Hogan:''' Now... Now that everybody realizes who everybody's working for... I mean, my God! This guy right here was [[MoleInCharge the foundation of WCW]]! Now, [[EvilAllAlong he works for the nWo]]!]]
* The Undertaker's 2001 heel turn, when we thought he'd come down to the ring to save Jim Ross from joining Vince [=McMahon=]'s "Kiss My Ass Club", but after asking if he wanted to kiss Vince's ass, and Ross told him no...
-->'''The Undertaker:''' Is that because you're better than me?
* The Raw after Clash at the Castle opened with a normal fatal four way between The New Day, Alpha Academy, The Street Profits, and Los Lotharios, so far nothing too out of the ordinary. However, just as Chad Gable had Montez Ford in the ankle lock, the speakers suddenly boom with [[IncomingHam an unmistakable yell]], causing the arena to go nuts, everyone in the match to internally crap themselves, and the wrestling community to realize Wrestling/TripleH was just getting started.
-->'''Speakers:''' ''[[HesBack BRAAAUUUUUUU]][[Wrestling/BraunStrowman UUUUNNNNNNNN!]]''
* On the October 10th, 2022 RAW, The Judgment Day is in the ring when Wrestling/AJStyles comes out and does a speech on how he knows he needs his "brothers." An overjoyed Finn Bálor embraces him until Styles pulls the mic back up.
-->[[spoiler:'''AJ Styles''': I wasn't talking about you.]]
-->''(Cue familiar music as ''Wrestling/KarlAnderson and [[Wrestling/DrewHankinson Luke Gallows]]'' return, and the reunited OC beat down Judgement Day.)''
* A little background: [[Wrestling/RandySavage Macho Man Randy Savage]] and the Wrestling/UltimateWarrior are set to wrestle a tag team match against Wrestling/RicFlair and [[Wrestling/ScottHall Razor Ramon]] at the 1992 ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries''. For a year at this point, Flair's "executive consultant" has been the infamous [[Wrestling/CurtHennig Mr. Perfect]]. Weeks prior to the event, Ultimate Warrior is released from the WWF, leaving Macho Man without a tag team partner. On the November 16 edition of ''Prime Time Wrestling'' (presided over by moderator Vince [=McMahon=] with commentators [[Wrestling/BobbyHeenan Bobby "The Brain" Heenan]] and Mr. Perfect, among others), Macho Man announces his bold choice to take Warrior's place in the ring:
--> '''Vince [=McMahon=]:''' Randy Savage, who do you mean? Spell it out!\\
'''Macho Man:''' "Spell it out." ''[beat]'' '''It's Mr. Perfect.'''
** Everyone on the show is stunned by this offer, except Bobby Heenan (who is Flair's "financial advisor") and Mr. Perfect himself, who both seem highly amused. But over the course of that evening's program, Mr. Perfect goes from amused to thoughtful, as if he's seriously considering Macho Man's proposal. And the more thoughtful and quiet he gets, the more aggravated Bobby Heenan becomes, until, fed up with all the Flair camp's pressure on him, Perfect pops out of his seat:
--> '''Mr. Perfect:''' Let me tell you something, Heenan! I am sick and tired of everybody making decisions for me! Savage, you want an answer? I'll give you an answer! '''I accept!''' ''(At which point Heenan slaps Mr. Perfect. Perfect does not take that well. He grabs Bobby's tie and forces him to his knees, cementing his HeelFaceTurn by [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments pouring a pitcher of water over Bobby's head.]])''
* The reason for Toxic Attraction's tensions?
-->[[spoiler:'''Jacy Jayne:''' It's never been about us! It was always about me!]]
* Once Wrestling/TheMiz finally makes his decision to become the 7th and final member of Team WWE against Wrestling/TheNexus at 2010 ''Wrestling/SummerSlam'', Wrestling/JohnCena tells him he made his decision too late as he already found someone else who has issues with the group as they do:
--> '''John Cena:''' The 7th member of Team WWE is [[spoiler:[[TheBusCameBack Daniel Bryan]]]].
* An old couple reunites against Wrestling/{{Evolution}}:
-->'''Wrestling/MickFoley:''' Because, you see, [[Wrestling/RandyOrton Orton]]; you see, [[Wrestling/RicFlair Flair]]; you see, Wrestling/{{Batista}}; you're damn right. I said Mick Foley was coming back to Raw. But I never said Mick Foley was coming back to Raw[[spoiler:...[[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson alone]]]].
* Given the tension between [[Wrestling/SamoanDynasty them]] lately, while [[TheDogBitesBack his initial action]] [[BigBrotherInstinct was out of instinct]], [[Wrestling/TheUsos an Uso]] makes it clear where he stands at ''Night of Champions'':
-->[[spoiler:'''Jimmy:''' (To Jey) [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal I'm doing what you should've done a long time ago!]] [[UndyingLoyalty I got you!]] (Superkicks Roman Reigns ''again'')]]
** Jey would follow suit with his brother against his cousin on the June 16, 2023 episode of [=SmackDown=]:
-->'''Jey:''' (to Jimmy) So guess what? You out. [[spoiler:And I'm out too. (Superkicks Roman Reigns)]]
* ''Wrestling/SummerSlam'' 2023, just as Jey Uso was about to pin Wrestling/RomanReigns, a mysterious assailant pulled Jey out of the ring, before later revealing himself to be Jimmy Uso. Even after months of injury at the hands of Roman Reigns, and multiple years of abuse, Jimmy decided to betray his brother for reasons unknown. This line from Wrestling/MichaelCole sums up the situation perfectly:
-->'''Cole:''' [[spoiler:Jimmy,]] what the hell did you do? Why?
* ''[[Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling AEW]] [=WrestleDream=] 2023'': Wrestling/ChristianCage defeated Wrestling/DarbyAllin with the help of a newly-heel Nick Wayne and the two along with Luchasaurus beat up Darby's partner, Wrestling/{{Sting}} and Christian sets him up for a con-chair-to...only for an old friend of his to show up and stop him.
->''[[Wrestling/EdgeWrestler "You think you know him?"]]''
* ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries 2023'' already finished its last match, and it's a night with which already featured [[Wrestling/RandyOrton two]] [[Wrestling/RonKillings returns]]. Just as the camera is already zooming out to go off air, theme songs hits to herald a man many thought would never step in a WWE arena ever again, especially in light of his recent controversies:
-->'''Speakers''': *static noises, followed by a familiar guitar riff* [[spoiler:''[[CueTheFlyingPigs Look in my eyes, what do you see?]] [[Music/LivingColour The cult of personality]].'']] *Followed by [[spoiler:''Wrestling/CMPunk'' [[HesBack coming through the doors]].]]*
* On [[Wrestling/WWERaw Day 1 Raw]], The Rock has made his return as he takes out Wrestling/JinderMahal. Afterwards...
-->'''The Rock:''' I'm a little hungry. I'm gonna go get something to eat. When The Rock goes get something to eat tonight in San Diego, should The Rock sit... in a booth? Or... should The Rock sit... at the bar? ...Yeah, The Rock loves the bar, too. Or... should The Rock... sit... [[Wrestling/RomanReigns at the head of the table]]?
* On Smackdown, 2024 Women's Royal Rumble Winner Wrestling/{{Bayley}} has to decide her Wrestling/WrestleMania opponent. As she seems to suggest going after Wrestling/RheaRipley, she also considers going [[Wrestling/IoShirai a different route]] as she brings up various reasons why, including proving her detractors wrong. [[WithFriendsLikeThese Even if they're among her friends]].
-->'''Bayley:''' (To IYO SKY, Kairi Sane, and [[Wrestling/KanakoUrai Asuka]], [[ObliviousMockery who were previously mocking her behind her back]]) You guys done laughing? [[GratuitousJapanese Watashi wakaru yo]]. [[labelnote:Note]]"I understand."[[/labelnote]] Yeah, that's Japanese. [[BilingualBackfire I picked that up from all the times you guys talked about me behind my back!]]
* Angry after Wrestling/CodyRhodes reneges on a deal to give him the main event of ''Wrestling/{{Wrestlemania}} XL'' as well calling him and Roman Reigns a shame to [[Wrestling/SamoanDynasty their grandfathers]], Wrestling/TheRock lets Rhodes know that he has made [[EnemyMine one more enemy]] in The Bloodline to deal with.
-->'''The Rock:''' Let [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness me]] [[TranquilFury make one thing perfectly clear to you]]. [[BorrowedCatchphrase When you talk about]] [[Wrestling/RomanReigns his]] [[SwornBrothers family]], [[BorrowedCatchphrase you're talking about]] ''my'' [[ThickerThanWater family]]. When you're talking about his ancestors, you're talking about '''''my''''' ancestors. And when you're talking about his blood, you're talking about ''my'' blood. [[ItsPersonal So now]], '''[[FaceHeelTurn we have a problem]]'''. (''slaps Cody Rhodes triggering a pull-apart near-brawl'')
* The bell rings for the last time at the tail end of ''Wrestling/WrestleMania XL'', signaling both the end of a grueling war and one of the bloodiest, most brutal title reigns in history.
-->'''Samantha Irvin:''' [[spoiler:Here is your winner '''AND THE NEW''' Undisputed WWE Champion: The American Nightmare, Wrestling/CodyRhodes!]]
